    New Traveler Sketches w/ new wheels style

    The split tailgate seems like a good idea to me, I'm fine with that. What I'm not good with is the swing-out tire carrier. If there is an option to delete it, I'll take it. If there isn't, I'll do it myself. After living with a swing-out tailgate on my Bronco for two years I vowed never to have...

    4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    I must be getting old because my 6.5 second(ish) EV6 seems plenty fast for me, and shaving even two more seconds off that would be amazing - let alone three. I can't imagine needing something much faster than what I have for anything other than bragging rights.

    4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    Hmm...yeah I'm starting to re-think my choice of the BEV. 150 miles should allow me to run on electric power 95% of the time but not have to stop and rapid charge on longer trips. Luckily I probably don't have to decide for another 1.5-2 years anyway.

    Confirmed: Bench Seat will have folding center w/ cupholders & arm rest

    I'm really hoping for a well-thought-out bench that is independently adjustable, has good accessories/cup holders/etc. when the center is folded, still allows HVAC vents/controls in the rear, etc. If they can't pull that off I might just pass on the entire vehicle. I know it sounds petty - but...

    EREV battery capacity deploying 6x faster than BEVs. Implications for Harvester?

    I live in San Diego and daily drive a 2024 EV6. Average 3.9mi/KwH (8k miles so far). I think 300 miles is reasonable to ask, especially given how cheap batteries are getting - so put a decent size battery pack in there Scout!

    EREV battery capacity deploying 6x faster than BEVs. Implications for Harvester?

    Glad we have options, I'm the opposite actually. All I want is the all-electric version and for it to have 300 miles or so of honest-to-god highway/cold weather range. I have zero interest in the Harvester if I can get that.

    EREV battery capacity deploying 6x faster than BEVs. Implications for Harvester?

    Simply put, people want more all-electric range so manufacturers are putting larger batteries in them. I don't see how this affects the Scout one way or the other.

    35" tires (35's) on the Scout - size 35x12.5R20 BFG KO3

    Give me 18" wheels and 33" tires please. No need for a 35.

    PowerCo: Possible Battery Manufacturer for Scout EV

    Dropping fast. Estimates were around $145-155 per kWh in the last year or two but the latest is putting them closer to $115. By the time Scout has to source them, I'd expect them to be well under $100 kWh. I doubt SSBs will be ready by then, but perhaps for a mid-cycle refresh around 2030.

    Current and future Scout Reservers: Have you cancelled reservation(s) or plans for other EVs?

    I'm somewhat partial to the smaller size and efficiency of the Rivian, I had a 2021 Bronco for two years and learned that I don't need that much off-road ability. The Scout might be overkill in that area and the extra size/expense might not be what I need. But it looks really cool, and life is...

    Current and future Scout Reservers: Have you cancelled reservation(s) or plans for other EVs?

    No, I have an R2 reservation though and am probably more likely to get that than the Scout.

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

    BEV for me. I have a 2024 EV6 that I leased as an experiment for owning an entirely electric vehicle, and it definitely convinced me I don't need gas.

    Instrument Cluster Gauge Display -- Opinions, Requests, Wish List

    As long as they don't do what Tesla does I'll be happy. A minimalistic HUD would be a nice touch though.

    Pricing & trim levels details in 12-18 months. Scout dedicated to $50-$51k estimated price for Traveler & Terra

    I'm perfectly fine with a bare-bones Traveler EV as long as it's range is over 300 miles. I can live without all the bells and whistles. If I can get that under $60K I'll be happy.

    Scout confirms more models coming in future. What models would you want?

    I'd love a midsize crew-cab pickup truck. Something comparable in size to a Tacoma, Colorado, etc. Honestly I'm baffled by the comments wanting something ICE-only. You have lots of options there already. Go buy a Wrangler, Bronco, or Landcruiser.

    Dislikes about your current vehicle that’s offered / solved by the Scout Traveler / Terra?

    We have a 2024 Kia Telluride EX AWD and a 2024 Kia EV6 Light long range. I traded in my 2021 Bronco (4dr Big Bend) on the Telluride - I was tired of the crude nature of it, noise, driving dynamics, ride quality, mileage, etc...basically anything other than the "cool" factor and off-road ability...

    One-Pedal Driving or Two-Pedal Driving -- your preference?

    I've got like seven different one-pedal settings in my EV6, can be fully on/off or anywhere in between. I'm sure the Scout will be no different - it's just software settings.

    NACS Charge Port Location

    I heard Tesla is going to start offering extension cables in the future to mitigate any issues with the short supercharger cables. I guess that's a lot cheaper than converting them.

    Spare tire carrier optional on Traveler? Alternative locations for mounting spare tire?

    I suspect it will look like the tailgate of the pickup if the spare carrier isn't there. Perhaps they can even use the same trip piece for both.

    Best place for spare tire on Terra with Harvester option

    I think the option to have the spare under the rear cargo area will be unavailable for those with the harvester. At least in the Terra you could put the spare in the bed, but with the harvester-equipped Traveler I think you will have to use the rear swing-out spare tire carrier or just not have...
