I hope they have real leather as n option and not just vegan leather. I'm not a fan of the light colored wood they have in the Terra. Maybe it looks better in person but in pictures it looks cheap and plasticky.
This could be the blueprint for the Scout Harvester. Very interesting watch. If Alex's guesstimate is right, its going to be a bear to charge the Ramcharger (no DCFC). Scout is going to be able to learn from how RAM executes on their EREV.
I like almost everything about my R1T except road trips. The Harvester will address the biggest issue for me - the number of times I need to charge - without me compromising capability and performance.
It's probably a generic statement about the highest range model having 350 miles of range. It'll have smaller wheels and street tires, probably have less clearance and maybe lighter overall. I could see it hitting 330-350 miles.
Which is why theres no chance they're going to do NMC for the Harvester, its going to be LFP. Its cheaper, can charge to 100% daily, and its less dense so performance isn't as good which lines up to what the CEO stated. 99.9% sure it'll be LFP.
If its cheaper chemistry and less dense, then it is likely LFP for the Harvester. It would be illogical for them to go with NMC for the Harvester since its a low range of 150 miles, people will want/need to charge it to 100% more often. Very, very unlikely its going to be NMC.
I don't see why the Harvester would cost more. If the battery in the EREV is half the size of the BEV battery and uses a less expensive chemistry then it should be equivalent or cheaper than the BEV version. A 4 cylinder engine is surely cheaper or equivalent in cost to a 60-70 kWh battery even...
i can see the argument either way for having the start button but it’s likely not going to reboot the vehicle nor will it impact vampire drain. No EV turns off completely. it’s more like its sleeping
Rivian has the issue because of engineering and software. While they have improved it some...
Tariffs aren't nothing but still a bit early to see how it impacts their base price. Maybe they remove some features to try to keep that price and raise the prices of more optioned models. I could see the top spec Traveler being in the $85-90k range now. Which would be a bit too high for me...
ease up folks... this is pre-production and "demo" version of their software. that isn't really an indication of the responsiveness of the production version.
we also have no idea of the hardware/architecture being used to power the demo. could be very different in production.
B&W, Mark Levinson, Meridian - in that order.
For those that say name don't matter, it does, if you want the highest quality sound. And if they go in-house, it matters even more. Go read any Rivian thread on their in-house system and you'll see what a disaster its been.
Sound, like seats...
Folks should keep in mind, just because you're willing to drive hours to get service, doesn't mean Scout will sell you a vehicle (at first) unless you're within some minimum distance. It becomes costly and logistically complex for Scout to support owners who are 4+ hours from a service center...
Yes but there are limitations. At some point they will need to lock down the design because they need to secure the supply chain for all the parts and the production process. There might be room for some minor changes and it'll likely be different from what they showed ad reveal/CES but thats...
Camera-only based systems, like Tesla can work well but if certain conditions change, then you're increasing the chances of the system failing. Fog, rain, shadows, bright lights, etc can hinder the system working correctly because it doesn't have another system like radar or lidar, which work...
The Director of UX at Scout indicated you can enable Harvestor while in "Outdoor" (camp) mode. If that does make production, then I'm almost 100% sold on getting the Traveler with that option when its becomes available.
I think time will determine how this plays out and impacts companies like Scout, Rivian, Lucid as well as GM and Ford. Scout is still at least 2.5 years away from production so that gives them time to see the landscape.
Overall, I'm concerned about the BEV market in the US and how we'll be able...
oh boy... its looking like it might not be ready to produce till 2028. When have manufacturers, especially new ones hit production early or even on time? Fingers crossed though they hit late 2027.
Oh yeah, the vehicles as shown at reveal are going to be way more than the base $60k price. I'd imagine somewhere in the ~$85-90k range. If they can hit ~$75k with full specs I'll be incredibly impressed.
