    80% Repairable

    Hate to be "that guy" because I would love to work on everything, but: I wonder if Scout has considered the liability issues with encouraging/allowing customers to work on an 800V internal system. Statistically, it is going to kill some of us.

    VW reveals why it’s investing $5.8 billion into Rivian: for internal organs

    VW already invested in and lost over 12 billion euros in CARIAD, its internal software group. That group performed so badly that it delayed several models (including the Porche MACAN and Audi Q6). I know software is hard but that is a giant bucket of fail. The Rivian deal gets them software...

    Scout Supports Right-to-Repair by Building EVs Owners Can Fix Themselves

    Great approach. I would like to see this as a commitment in writing from the company. The people running the company today won't be around in ten years.

    Current EV owners: are you sticking with full-EV or switching to EREV Harvester Scout?

    Reserved the EREV. We want an EV truck for day-to-day use and road trips on the highway system with charger infrastructure (which is almost everywhere civilized). I only want to use the range extender when we do multiday camping or overlanding trips into Alaska. Our Rivian R1S has a 310-mile...

    Question for EV owners: anyone own one long term? Battery degradation?

    We have a 2018 model 3 with 100k+ miles on it. It is rated at 310 mile range. I have not run it down to zero, to be sure, but we think it has at least 90% of the range left.

    2027 Scout Reservation Deposits List - Tracker & Stats 📋 📊

    We have a 2018 Model 3 with over 100k miles. This check never came up and is not on the car's service list. There is a brake fluid check on the schedule. We still have the original brake pads. EVs are low maintenance.

    Rivian software

    I have used both Rivian and Tesla software for the last 2+ years (launch customer for the Rivian). Rivian has the best software in the industry. They did an amazing job with it. It is much simpler and usable than Tesla's. It is not perfect yet (some of the map controls can be improved). I think...
