It's a refreshing start up of an iconic brand but we both know the hammer lies in the finance arms the vision needs a well so far all the players have given us hope. I'm 65 and every day things that made sense no longer do Scout brings commonsense and collaboration together to create involvement...
Once again this is all irrelevant it's 8 months before factory is completed and then orders and production that's 2 yrs a lot of time for all these variables to play out
Well what happens if SC passes law allowing scout to sell DTC . But I find it hard to believe VW would invest 2 billion dollars without anticipating push back from dealers and what the plan was to market and sell scout's moving forward.
EV's and Plug in hybrids qualify for 7500 tax credit through a lease loophole so you lease it get 7500 credit then buy out lease this allows you to take advantage of incentives so I would think scout would offer access to all incentives
I see them finding a friendly state where they can run all the paperwork through and distribute vehicles to service centers you pay sales tax once you register in your state. They could also go the Carvana route and delivery ver to your home and pick up your trade in temp tags be provided...
The problem scout has is it needs to keep its reservationist interested for close to two years. That's why I think they need to get the design finalized and the order books open so now we have renewed enthusiasm tracking our orders and the excitement of delivery. So I hope that happens in the...
Well if I'm the finance arm of scout I have this template already in place. They need to move units and no better way is to offer leasing and competitive finance rates. No financed company invest 2 billion with out a business plan showing how they plan to market their product. They the finance...
I think scout will align themselves with a financial partner most likely the current financial partner in structuring lease deals to allow all tax incentives as well as included maintenance through out lease. Most likely if there still is a lease loophole you will be able to lease car get 7500...
Right now we have a beautiful partner who looks to do everything right but it hasn't cooked or raised kids yet this baby needs to come to life and start cooking to see and have realtime data. And scout needs to get build sheets and actual offerings out to reservation holders and be nice to...
I think Scout wins its court battle there will be states that will disallow DTC but scout can write all orders in a friendly state and have service centers throughout the country they don't need a license to open a service center that repairs EV's. You can accept delivery at a service center or...
I think 150 EV is not enough I was hoping more of 350 and extender addition of 150 to give you the 500 mile range.. But like you stated we need to see what comes out of scout and that will determine how many reservations turn into actual orders.
VW can always sell Scout to a shell company to alleviate dealers lawsuit if it gets to that. In meantime let's concentrate on building a great truck and hopefully we get some order sheets in the near future and a ride to follow.
I can't wait till there's a catalog with all these visions for us to choose from my hope is we're reading it on the beach this summer and venturing somewhere to see feel and touch this beautiful lady we are all conjuring up in our minds. So maybe Scout could tease us a little and let us know...
