Looks like the Scout will be better than the other choices...

The R1T is an insane vehicle. Swiss army knife of vehicles. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Its not perfect but for a first time manufacturer, its legit good. If Rivian offered a range extender, I'd be all over it which is why the Traveler has now become an option for my next vehicle. Terra is a bit too big imo so would rather not replace my R1T.

Its clear Scout baselined the Terra/Traveler on the R1T/R1S. They seem to address a lot of the minor compromises/issues/annoyances of the Rivian, which is a good strategy to take. I still think BEVs are the future but based on where battery tech is now, the range extender (if it works and is executed well) makes a lot of sense and will bring more ICE-only customers.

I want both companies to succeed so I'm rooting for both.

So weird how that works but I am with you on that. Would love both to do very well. ALL ev's help get that charging infrastructure in place. Plus the CEO of Rivian seems really legit.

I have had two services and all they did was adjust the windows for noise. Everything else checked out. I had the tires rotated at Americas Tire (free). So no real services needed - but I would want a service center close in case of issues… lucky so far 20k on my 4 month old truck. My Corvette sits at home - this Rivian truck is great and fun. Can’t wait for the Scout……
