I had the same thought several weeks ago when we had the bomb cyclone in Seattle (I posted on another forum). We lost power for almost a week. I have an R1T and I was able to power lots of things using the built in outlets which was awesome but had to charge several times by going to a DCFC...

The issue isn't just direct to consumer sales, but franchise laws and other regulations in place limiting competition. Another example is test drives. In WA you cannot test drive a Rivian or Lucid. Scout may have a similar issue unless it falls under the umbrella of VW but that could open...

id prefer a motorized roof shade instead. simpler and cheaper. that glass is a nice party trick and thats it.

Youre probably right they will have a model with road tires but like the Rivian it will make no sense. The capability of the R1T/R1S with the air suspension, hydraulic roll control, etc, makes no sense with road tires. Such overkill. The R2 makes a lot more sense. I suspect if Scout makes a...

Uh.... so basically you dont want the Traveler. Probably should look at another brand. There's other "road" type EVs that can tow 5000 today.

No, just more cost, more complexity and more cost and complexity to fix.

not sure what you mean. this isn't some limited run production. if you reserved, its up to you if you end up with one. when you get it depends on when you reserved (what place in line you are) and if you live in or near a metro they are launching in. at the reveal they said they will...

This is going to be an interesting story as we get closer to production and delivery. I think its great on the sales side for Scout to want to do direct to consumer and they should stick to it. However, the service side is going to be a whole other thing. We know Rivian has struggled with...

Let's temper the excitement with reality. Scout is launching in 16 metros. If you don't live within some proximity of those or the factory, I highly doubt you'll be able to pickup your vehicle from the factory, even if you are a day one reservation holder. Sorry but in addition to that, its...

no slope and aerodynamics will not help much with rain and definitely will do nothing with dirt/snow. its a prototype so they likely left it off. it'd be shocking if they didnt add one.

Same. Crazy. $15 for beanie. $16 to ship. NTY.

Depends on how they implement but if it does provide about 150 miles on battery only and extends it to 500 miles, im most likely in. I'd also like to see it be able to charge the battery even while parked. For example if there is a power outage or I'm overlanding, I'd like to see it be able to...

i like watching MKBHD's YT channel but that podcast is unwatchable. those guys are so uninformed or ill-informed and constantly going off on side topics. total discussion on Scout of the 13 min video was probably 3-4 min.

you can do both one pedal driving with steering wheel regen controls. if it had to be one or the other, one pedal for sure.

not a huge fan of what they showed in the reveal. overall design too retro looking. don't like the start button on the wheel or the two spoke look either. not a deal breaker just aesthetically not good looking imo.

The R1T is an insane vehicle. Swiss army knife of vehicles. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Its not perfect but for a first time manufacturer, its legit good. If Rivian offered a range extender, I'd be all over it which is why the Traveler has now become an option for my next vehicle. Terra...

Well yeah, why wouldn’t they?

I think this is positive for VW, Scout and Rivian, sssuming he left on good terms that is, because the familiarity will help accelerate the collaboration.

snow plow? Scout is not going to make that accessory. maybe aftermarket from a 3rd party but there's no business benefit for them to make something less than 1% of owners would buy.

i dont but it surely impacts those that do and i was also trying to say it impacts the entire US EV industry as a whole
