How can you not like the Idea of this vehicle? And starting 25K and then with federal and state ev tax credit you could look at under 15K. Yes please! Standard range of 150miles and extended of 240Miles, Fantastic! Now this wouldn't be an ideal road tripper. But a daily driver/weekend warrior...
The "Product" is just Production Intent prototype. The fact that they got it to move at all is fine. No one expects the final product to sound anything like that. But lets wait and see how everything else goes.
How about they worry about getting the factory built and machined. And then they need staff. The monthly updates are plenty at this point. What more info do you want that they have not all ready put out?
The GMC Denali EV is also in the range of 100K. So yeah if you want to pay for range and towing then there are options out there for EVs. I don't really want to or need to drop 100K on a vehicle. That's what was so appealing for the Scout, 51K for 350miles of range! That's amazing.

But that 39K is down from 67K from a year. With the R2 and R3 being more affordable prices then they should be able to turn more of a profit. To put into prospective, Tesla didnt have a profitable year until 2020 which was when Model Y was out and Model 3 was out 3 years prior.
Rivian has only...
There are already EV Trucks on market right now that get that now. Rivians get that on their Dual Motor Max pack. They gets 420ml EPA Est. and there battery pack is 140 kWh. If Scout Motors is saying the Battery Pack is going to be 120-130kWh how would they not achieve 350ml EPA Est.?
RJ Has stated numerous times that he will see the end of Gas engines in his life time.
Why would his company delay the inevitable?
I'm not saying it isn't possible but it is very very unlikely...
