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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
One thing that definitely helps is the large frunk - day to day stuff like groceries and such can go there without having to deal with the spare carrier. I'll still opt to not have it, but on an EV I guess it's not as much of an issue. But it will be more of a hassle than it was even on my...
It's not, but it's also a total PITA to deal with to access the rear cargo area. For me, having this as optional is a big plus and I'd even pay a bit extra to delete the rear spare carrier.
Nope, I know exactly how much they cost to make. With emissions controls, EPA certification, etc. the costs will be about even and since the harvester will be marketed as an "upgrade" it will be priced as such.
Interesting. I think it would be easy to do though. The 3rd row seats of my telluride have them. Hope Scout does include so adults sitting there don't snap their necks in a rear end collision.
Definitely just a mock-up/prototype for the seats. I would imagine there has to be some sort of pop-up headrest too. No way the feds are going to allow someone to sit in a front seat without one.
Interesting take. The more I see, the more I am convinced the Harvester version will be at a minimum $3K more than the all-EV model despite the high cost of the larger battery pack. One thing to note - I don't think the battery in the ERV version will be "slightly" smaller, I think it's more...
