Hope everyone has enjoyed following the reservation list and stats!

Are any take rates or indicated options preferences in here surprising to you?

Maybe I'm biased, but I'm surprised there aren't more Terra orders.

I’m surprised that Scout itself isn’t touting the number of reservations by now.

And those are just the ones from forum members.

Well that’s what I meant. One would hope that there are way more than “1100+” reservations by now & that Scout would be quoting a ROM-ish number by now….

After Lordstowns infamous "100,000" pre-order debacle, I don't blame them lol.

And Fisker with over 60 k reservations!

I actually hope Scout doesn't publish reservation figures. I don't like the chest pounding reservation stats released by companies that haven't produced a single vehicle before. Comes off like insecure chest pounding sometimes. Let the vehicles speak for themselves... and the Scouts do that well!

And holy @$!# almost 82% of reservations are for the Harvester over the full EV?! I bet Scout Motors itself didn't anticipate it being so popular. Of course the caveat is that this is without pricing being announced yet...

I selected the Harvester because Scout says we can change our order and, at the time, it seemed like the Harvester would give me more options. But I already own two EV’s, am used to traveling long distances with them (trips requiring multiple charging stops) and don’t have range anxiety.

Whether or not I really go with a Harvester will depend on actual specs. i.e. How much smaller is the battery pack (i.e. pure electric range) and what is the price difference?
