Harvester Engine (Range Extender) will be a VW engine, quiet, and tucked away

Bringing back the air-cooled Bug engine.

It'd be nice to be able to start the RE shortly after getting on the road when I know I'll be going a long distance without reliable charging. That way the RE has as much time as possible to top off the battery, rather than waiting for the battery charge level to deplete and then needing more power out of the RE

From the UX presentation from CES it looks like that there may be three options for the Harvester. Pure EV, Max, and Auto. I hope they allow us to set when the Harvester kicks on.

I'm curious how the engine "tucked low, out back" is gonna work out with their claimed 3 foot fording capability.
