    Time to give up the frunk (if you want the Harvester engine)...

    Not sure what you mean? The EREV is just a generator, not connected to the drive system at all, just charges the battery.

    Convert to full EV later from harvester

    I agree, BYD already has a model with 600+ miles range and 5 minute charging, in 10 years there will be 1000 mile range with solid state batteries and 5-10 minute charging. The tech is moving at warp speed with super computers and AI designing the next generation before we can field the current one.

    Convert to full EV later from harvester

    Why so positive? In ten years solid state batteries with 5 minute charging and 600+ miles range will be the norm. BYD already has one, I will admit that US Tech is behind BYD by a few years but we will catch up at some point. Removing the Harvester and replacing the battery with a SS one would...

    Not even Scout calls it a hybrid, follow the link to Scout faq page provided by @MTN COLT above.

    So? Will you admit you were mistaken 😀

    I canceled our two reservations

    well, you can call it anything, but to me it is just an EV with a gas generator, I guess you could throw a generator in the bed of a lighting and call it a hybrid.

    I canceled our two reservations

    Actually not, as it’s in no way directly connected to the drive system like other hybrids.

    The dozen chargers at our Target lot have signage warning of being towed if an ICE car parks there.

    I canceled our two reservations

    As I now plan to sell our class A and purchase a smaller TT I am good with 5K of towing, many nice smaller TT’s well under that weight. We are now finished with coast to coast RV trips and just plan to fully explore the western states more throughly.

    Jay Leno drives Scout Hybrid Harvester - Towing Capacity, Gas Fuel Tank Capacity, More Specs Revealed

    Unless you have a safe (I have a gun safe) bolted down a smash and grab is hard to stop as it only takes seconds. Best solution is to never have anything visible while parked.

    Anyone else losing excitement/interest?

    Good idea, but as far as I know the reservation numbers are not sequential, that would make it hard to know.

    As an older "I dont want to be connected person"....

    It sure can, a friend of mine I worked with in Germany bent over to pick up a dropped pencil, just kept going to the floor in pain. Took him away in a meat wagon, never saw him again as he was medi-vac'd back to the states.

    April 2025 Scout Production Plant Construction Update

    I don't know, but all of that flat roof space just begs for lots of solar panels.

    As an older "I dont want to be connected person"....

    I guess I won the gene lottery, 77 and still hike, scuba dive, bike, and speed walk 3 miles a day besides working out 3 times a week, still have all my original parts. But! I get those spams also and from the Neptune Society. Do they know something I don't :)

    Anyone else losing excitement/interest?

    Yes, but sharing space at the factory with VW will pretty much negate Scout's claim of being an independent brand, and strengthen the Auto dealers claim against Scouts direct to buyer program.

    Time to give up the frunk (if you want the Harvester engine)...

    The deletion of the frunk would make me rethink the purchase based on my needs at the time, and what else was available.

    Scout hit with environmental fines

    HAHA! That’s funny, I have lived in both places, and outside of the cities Texas has very little land regulation, California on the other hand has to many.
