With the right exterior color, a two-tone red or blue (with black/white and even with plaid/tartan inserts) would be great. Too much gray or black is dull and boring.

Rivian's under floor spare is well thought but that design is a no-go with Harvester. I would rather have a collapsable spare that would fit in the frunk; or perhaps mount against the rear-left quarter panel behind the wheel-well, like the Scout II (mounting the spare there is the main reason...

One other point is that the Harvester engine cooling system, during cold conditions and while changing, can be an efficient way to heat both the cabin and the 800v batteries without using the heat pump.

My prediction is that the Harvester engine starter cycle will utilize the (800v) generator and batteries as a generator/starter. No separate 12v starter is necessary.

A great example for all states to follow.

The key here is the market should not be skewed with more credits/subsidies attempting to force us into vehicles we would not otherwise buy. Currently EVs already have a leg up as they do not help pay for roads via a fuel tax - but there are several states that will be soon charging a per-mile...

VW/Porsche/Audi dealers may sell Kubelwagons (or Things) but never Scouts. Brand marketing is important, and they are not compatible.

The original Scout II upkicked beltline style in the rear Traveltop (C-pillar) was also there to help conceal the spare tire stowed against the rear quarter panel. Looks like the new Traveler will have sufficient packaging rear overhang room to do the same, at least for a 31", or at worst, an...

If California courts wrongly decide in favor of the VW dealer group, Scout should only sell through International Truck franchises.

The Scout marketing strategy is for it to be a full American endeavor - and it is. Selling alongside VWs, Porsches & Audis would be incompatible. We're not making and selling Kubelwagens here. VW is the primary investor only. Scout needs to let us have a piece of the action and issue an IPO.

Premium may also be recommended due to the extended time the generator may not be run. Higher octane fuel will buy more time before 'old gas' with lower octane may cause damage.

Having to package, haul around and maintain a gas electric generator (including of course a fuel tank, exhaust system, cooling system, etc) defeats one of the greatest benefits of an EV. Anyone with a Tesla knows how quickly you can supercharge; and more stations are coming on line every day...
