I can honestly say that after adding options mine will not be close to the $60k
Thanks @timmyhil for all the info you provide to this forum.

Anyone know if the Terra will have a full sized spare tire hidden somewhere?

the harvester location is both good and potentially bad news. Seems it may be hard to service if placed under the bed as shown. Wonder what access will be like.

The frunk on the Traveler makes me happy. I only hope they don't change the interior too much from the concept. It's beautiful.

From underneath engine mounted two two pcs of uninstrut so whole assembly can be lowered for major service similar to Porsche boxster oil filter easily accessible but major service would require putting on lift and lowering extender engine

I really think they are going to use a boxer in the Scout.

Encouraging to see overt specs w/out spare tire carrier, but would also like to know alternatives to carry spare underneath and/or inside.

Also good to know I can avoid a few things I don't need/want -

• off-road suspension option
• able to specify 35-inch tires for maximum off-road capability
• off-road enhancements like sturdy recovery points, heavy-duty winches, and off-road bumpers

I suppose I might be a better fit for a Rivian but favor Scout for retro-modern design and physical switchgear. I adore my XC90 but have given up on Volvo.

the info through the links states that a 33 inch spare will be standard. A place for a 35 will be available as an option.

There will be an under body mount for the smaller tire. Confirmed by Scout

"Confirmed"? Seen any specs? I assume this elbows out EREV, but I'm all-in for BEV since we own a hybrid and I just want one.

Nope both models will have under mounting for the 33”.

Wow that's some swanky design & engineering.
