I stopped by there on my way home from work. Great looking truck in person and seemed to have great interior space. Even though i mentioned that I have a deposit down, they wouldn’t let me sit in it.

I confirmed that the charging port is bi- directional and can be used to support a house during a power outage, if the house is wired for such a thing.

also verified that the battery only mileage is 350, with another 150 provided by the Harvester engine charging the battery. Have seen this spec presented the other way, so good to have clarity.

This one had the fabric roof, which actually looked very cool and made me think it might be a nice option since i ordered mine with the glass sunroof.

back seat space looked comfortable and was impressed with the cargo area space as well. One thing I was not sure about was the ability to have the lift gate open higher, as it seemed like you would be cramped if sitting on the tailgate and having the lift gate not give you a lot of clearance over your head.

note to the marketing guys. Would have been nice to have some Schwag for those of us with deposits down. If you are trying to build a brand, a keychain or a coozie would have been a nice touch to welcome people to the family.

also was curious about displaying the truck with 35” BFGs. While it certainly showed that the wheel wells can accommodate big tires, I wonder how many folks would really run such big ones. I have always been fine with 33” on my Landcruisers for the right mix of price, clearance and ride and wonder if they would look dinky on the Scout?

All in, was impressed and am excited about seeing what the production model will look like.

Just nitpicking a little... I feel that fabric on the door and dash are not a good idea... think of all the dirt that will get smudged on it

Yes thanks for posting pics!

"also verified that the battery only mileage is 350, with another 150 provided by the Harvester engine charging the battery. Have seen this spec presented the other way, so good to have clarity"

I feel this information keeps going back/forth on what the actual range/EREV +mileage will be...but guess will wait until it all gets spec'd out. Am glad they're keeping the momentum going!

I have only seen the color combo that are in these pics, is there more interior choices that we know of, colors and materials??? I have seen some exterior pics with other colors but not sure where these came from and if they are authentic??

I believe it has been confirmed that it is the other way around... 150 miles on battery and 350 miles of extended range from the ICE. It's just wishful thinking otherwise...

As I said in my original post, I have seen it described both ways, but the Scout rep I spoke to at the Denver showing was clear that the battery was good for 350 miles and the Harvester would be able to charge the battery to allow another 150 miles.

this makes sense to me as my buddy with a rivian says his range is just shy of 400 miles. I can’t see why a designer would make an EV with only a 150 range on main battery.

I wasn't trying to direct that *at* you - really more of me wishfully thinking that I'd get 350 miles on the EREV battery... Then I found out the truth on this forum...

I understand your issue - I think the guy you talked to might have been wrong. The BEV version gets 350 miles on its battery and the EREV version gets 150 miles on its (smaller) battery. The battery had to be smaller to allow for the ICE generator in the back.
