Hey I hear Santa is going to be the first one to get a Scout Rudolph is going to be pissed Merry Christmas we're all going to have one under the tree one day
Neither do I but we mustn't be naive to think they owned the rights to scout funded it and aren't going to have an interest on r further involvement in its future I wonder if they have a seat currently within the company. But I ask you this if you were VW owned the right's to Scout Funded its...
VW owned Scout do you think VW's board didn't protect their interest before they wrote the check and since they we're dealing with a controllable asset I think they are the one with options
I think VW 's investment in Rivian was strategic so they could ingrate the good of Rivian in the development of Scout. They maybe independent of VW now but I am sure they will be first in line to buy preferred stock once Scout goes public making them a controlling partner. Would you buy the...
Here's a thought did VW invest in Rivian knowing what the future held for them ? Then heavily investing in Scout to hedge their options. It's a way to no longer have to deal with UK labor and they are building a new era within the Scout name plate.
And worst case scenario VW spins off to a company called Scout that they help bring to life maybe in common terms they are downsizing either way with the pedigree and the interest someone will bring scout to the streets and trails. Happy Holidays to all.
I think harvester is a great all around idea. And I think you're going to have a 8 to 12 gallon gas tank. Along with interior inverters to allow boost when needed. So whatever the recharge ratio is from the gas engine that will determine when it kicks on. I also think they will have a direct...
VW is a conglomerate they have many tentacles they are diverse. Each entity though has to provide returns right now VW itself is in need of some downsizing and a new company objective for the future. As to Scout VW affiliation gives them access to current technology as well as hardware it's a...
I agree VW is one of many subsidiaries VW is a division that is being force to adapt to market conditions and China's cheap offerings and labor. But if US VW dealers start feeling the pains and there's this thriving company called Scout I could see dealers filing suit to prove just that VW is...
Air suspension, Heads up display , nice nav and audio along with nice finishes and current safety features. But for the wilderness explorers could not the gas range extender also act as your campsite power too ??
I think crab crawl or 4 wheel steering is a cool option but I wonder if it adds weight as well as battery drag. Everyone is grasping for mileage to claim range so engineers are forced to to streamline design to accommodate desired range I'm assuming. Right now we're all building our Racer can't...
You got to love democracy I am a retired union carpenter who owned and passed on my company to my son in law worked 36 yrs and my union pension will pay for my scout so I hope it's union made happy holidays
Why I think Scout will be UAW is because I believe Rivian was just organized and with VW's strong alignment with EU labor I can't see Labor backing huge investments in foreign entities that hurt them maybe some of the VW engineers migrate over regardless looking forward to see the final offerings
Here's something off VW financial site.
Slowing Production and the EV Dilemma
Volkswagen has ambitious plans to transform its lineup into primarily electric models. However, investments to fund this shift are putting a strain on its current finances. For instance, Volkswagen invested around $5...
