Pricing & trim levels details in 12-18 months. Scout dedicated to $50-$51k estimated price for Traveler & Terra

Even while Scout will be marketed to North America, the laws very substantially as you mentioned.

example: Honolulu, HI fines $297 per window that is tinted beyond legal, that means the corner window and side windows that don’t even roll down in some vehicles, could be a $2,376 total fine…..for tint.

Scout can’t legally go darker than what national standards mandate them, but there are plenty of lifetime warranty window film/tint installers, but its basically 2025…..and quality film with install prices are $700ish for a full vehicle. It’s film that has strong adhesive that will never bubble like $100 tint would, and some brands can reject 90+% incoming heat…..not UV (as even plain OEM glass rejects most all UV)

There isn’t a real function to need to go darker than 70% other than cosmetic, or privacy.

Being retired military I have lived in many countries and major cities, so newer CLEAR heat rejection films, don’t get me in trouble every 2-3 years I have historically moved.

Also Scout is marketed towards people that “can” go very off-road with no city lights, and even mildly dark films would impede safety quite substantially

I’ll likely use 3M Crystalline, Llumar Air, or other lifetime warranty film.

Thanks for the info I am active duty USCG just 2 more years and I'll finish my 20 should be retired from the USCG right before TERRAS's and TRAVELERS will be coming out in 2027. I was on a cutter in Oahu 2008-2010 really enjoyed my time in the Islands Maui and Kauai are amazing as well.

I'll just say, my literal job title is launch engineer, I work for a tier 1 supplier, and among other things, we're quoting this work.

2027 is SOP, Start of Production.

Startups never hit this, Rivian didn't, Tesla never does, Lordstown crashed and burned before they built a single PV unit, Canoo, Nikola... Goes on and on.

I would count on production starting in meaningful quantities in 28, with deliveries late CY 28.

Best case scenario.

And less profit means less investment in R&D and, potentially, less motivation for pushing the platform forward.

I’ve owned pure BEVs for 10 years (since the EV tax credit was initiated) and while the technological advancements haven’t been shocking, it’s been steady and worthwhile. From 96mi of range in the BMW i3 to 220mi in the Chevy BoltEV to 240 in the Mustang MachE to 280 in a nicely equipped BMW i4 M Sport and now back to an extended range MachE with 320mi range. The cars have gotten nicer, more mainstream, and more efficient. I hope we continue to head down that road (pun intended)

Wow, you’ve gone through 5 vehicle purchases within 10 years?! That’s kind of surprising, did you keep trading them in, or do you have a very very large family

Yep. 3 years in i3, 3 years in BoltEV, 2 years in a MachE before a dealer cut me a sweet deal for the i4. But I was only in that for 1 year before Ford contacted me about a great deal on a newer MachE program car right after the MachE price drop that saved me like $200 a month.

I thought maybe you needed a 12-step program for your car buying sprees!

My wife probably thinks so!

I had a 2004 Toyota Tacoma double Cab for 15 years and it was a great truck but only used it to help buddies move or moving furniture/appliances never for work. I have a deposit down on a TERRA/HARVESTER I love the look of the hemp wood on the dashboard and door panels but is that is probably an upgrade as well. I am excited to see what interior leather options there will be and the price.

My absolute must will be the moon roof upgrade I'll pay the $5K more or whatever it's going to be. But I can do without the bench seat, go for low end leather and low end wood and I don't need 35" tires if those won't be factory.

Most of the time the TERRA truck for me will be used to drive my younger brother's family around with my 2 nephews and niece. Mostly soccer, Bball and softball games and trips to Disneyland or camping.

But I hear ya some people will want the TERRA just as a work truck so no need for any pricey upgrades.

I want exactly what you’re saying, with heated seats and steering wheel. If I can get those, I’m golden.
