Dual-motor Rivian 0-60 is 3.4 seconds. That's comparable with a dual-motor Scout. The Tri-motor Rivian is $20k more and starts around 100k. The quad-motor is over $110K. Performance comes at a price. `Scout will not be a boring vehicle.

Scout has always said 3.5 since the Tennessee reveal. I haven't heard any quoted number that was better.

The AI summary performance figures are wrong. They are the 3.5 and 4.5 figures I quoted in my summary. Everything else looks okay.

It was not mentioned in the podcast.

VW group uses air suspensions in many of their brands, including SUV'S. I would not assume Rivian will be their first choice.

Scout has said air suspension won't be the only one available. I wouldn't be surprised if the air suspension gave the most ground clearance though.

If EV's do achieve cost parity in the next few years, there should be no reason for EV incentives. Money is better spent upgrading our electrical grid and charging infrastructure.

I'm most concerned about using a DI-only engine and carbon buildup.

I wouldn't discount the 1.5 turbo from the Taos. Flat four would be cool, but that would likely have to be imported from Germany. I think Scout will try to source one from the USA or Mexico.

No topic is more debated than this. We're all waiting to find out.

Let's hope South Carolina's government change their laws soon. Cody Thacker's letter yesterday makes it seem the Experience Center won't be happening otherwise.

Harvester versions will have a smaller battery. 350 is EV-only range. Remove some batteries for gas tank, engine, weight, and cost. This comes from Scout. 150 miles on battery for Harvester and 350 added.

Watch this Nevo EV YouTube video that was recently released. Dwayne Jackson, Scout's VP of Interior Design, talks about Scout. He confirms the external carrier is optional. He also swings it open and you can see the gas can does not interfere...

Harvester will add 350 miles of range, not 150.

Doesn't a Wrangler tailgate swing open horizontally? Scout hatch lifts up vertically, and the drop down tailgate is small.
