    I'm skeptical of the range numbers [efficiency, charging speed discussions]

    I have actually been researching this morning. If you want to see the possibilities, check out Quantumscape's website and YouTube videos. Quantumscape has a licensing agreement with VW's PowerCo division. QS seems to be working with PowerCo on developing production lines for their...

    How did they create the prototypes?

    This is the link to the video. Well worth a watch.. Doesn't cover the Scout, of course, but I highly suspect these guys are involved. 3D services group would never release video of current/upcoming projects.

    How did they create the prototypes?

    On YouTube, check out Munro Live. They are an engineering firm specializing in lean manufacturing that does work for many automotive companies (especially EV). They have a couple of prototyping factory tours that are awesome.

    Thank you for sharing! If I changed a couple of lines and years.....this is my story, also! I think many of us have warm, fond memories that we are anxious to re-feel. In some way, I it will reconnect us with our Dads (most of them are not with us any more), learning to drive, first dates...

    Nice Scout interior photos w/ bench seats (front & rear)

    Cushiness is KING for me. I have a 2017 Raptor with super-firm seats, and it kills my tailbone. So if the bolstering is not as aggressive and the cushion is thicker on the bench, I would have to go for it, even if I lose storage. It's also nice to throw the leg over toward the center of the...

    Changed my Reservation from EV-Only to Traveler Harvester....Because of THIS Bonus use.

    In my original post, I wasn't suggesting the truck would be suitable for a "whole-home" generator. If I needed that, I would certainly buy a natural gas or diesel genset with a buss transfer switch. The main appliances to keep powered during an outage are refrigerator and freezer, and only a...

    Changed my Reservation from EV-Only to Traveler Harvester....Because of THIS Bonus use.

    I would s Wow! Now I'm torn. Still have plenty of time to think about it, thankfully. Once we know the real specs, we can all make goid decisions for our use.

    Good points, and worth considering. I guess the gas option is still comforting for charging the truck during extended outages.

    Changed my Reservation from EV-Only to Traveler Harvester....Because of THIS Bonus use.

    I initially reserved a pure EV Traveler, but after some thought I changed my reservation to Harvester. My initial thinking was @ 350 Mile Range, I can work around any challenges in rural South Alabama (charge at home overnight, short <100 mile lightweight towing, etc.) On Monday, I lost...

    Bicentennial Heritage Edition Scout Traveler 🇺🇸

    Haha. Those wheel covers live on. They are currently on a 1952 Dodge pickup that Dad restored in the 90's. Your truck looks so clean. The fiberglass top is a big upgrade!

    Introductions & Welcome Thread For New & Old Members 👋

    Hello all, One of my earliest memories is being at the IH dealer in Jackson, MS with my Dad in 1976 to trade in his 1972 Travelall for a new Bicentennial 2WD Scout. So many memories in that old truck. In 1985, Dad bought a Terra pickup with a 4cyl and 4spd, and swapped them into the Scout...
