    Is Scout dead in the water? I'm not buying it at a 10-25% tariff added cost.

    All of us that DID put down a reservation have a stake in the outcome of the product (as little of a stake that it might be). Sure, I expect things to evolve and change and the market may look a lot different then. For one thing, the US will likely be moving back to gas guzzlers and away from...

    New Traveler Sketches w/ new wheels style

    Not for on-street parking charging such as many cities are implementing. Parking meters are giving way to mini charging stations.

    Is Scout dead in the water? I'm not buying it at a 10-25% tariff added cost.

    You’re missing the point. We want the Scout to come in at a certain price point. Getting our reservation back isn’t what’s at stake.

    Scout at car shows in 2025?

    Canada is a huge country but many automobile manufacturers feel it’s enough to just have one outlet in a big city. It’s really just token support. Canada isn’t a big enough of a market to impact their profits one way or another.

    It was more or less just a guess on what it would be between say the level of cleaners pay and everything between them and the CEO.

    Even Rivian is 5 hours away there and back.

    Wonder if the site owners here could run a script to pull that data and add it to the survey stats.

    Florida VW/Audi dealers file lawsuit to block Scout Motors' direct sales to consumers

    You can bet the automobile dealership lobbies are all over their state governors.

    New Washington State Bill To Prevent Direct-to-Consumer Sales

    When I leased my interim EV a few weeks ago, the process was painless and seamless. Not counting the test drive, I think I spent 20 minutes at the dealer. It was so easy I'd happily do it again tomorrow.

    Does the reservation survey show where the folks are from?

    Is Scout dead in the water? I'm not buying it at a 10-25% tariff added cost.

    It's virtually impossible for a vehicle and all its components to be sourced entirely within a country. Tires, transistors, bearings, fluids, piping, interior materials, displays, etc. now come from all over the world. These tariffs and the ones that Trump says he'll soon impose on the EU are...

    I’m pretty sure the average unionized wage at Ford is way higher than $45K.

    Is Scout dead in the water? I'm not buying it at a 10-25% tariff added cost.

    Didn’t they say they’re creating 4000 jobs? Let’s say the average salary is $45K US. The Scout CEO did say they’re going to ensure their employees are well compensated so I don’t think that’s an unreasonable salary. That works out to a $180,000,000.00 PER YEAR. Not counting the investments in...

    Scout at car shows in 2025?

    I’m a bit bummed that I’ll never get to see one in person before I need to confirm the order in a few years. Unless, I’m willing to travel for a day or two.

    New Washington State Bill To Prevent Direct-to-Consumer Sales

    Just introduced. No too late to call your rep to have this changed/squashed. Details start at 9:08: Senate Bill #5377

    How close must a Scout Service Center location be to you? Poll

    Not for me lol. I live in a smaller community and going to the nearest VW dealer is probably 1.5 hours away in permanently heavy traffic. That wouldn’t be fun.

    Maintainability and Accessibility of Range Extender

    I would say Scout is thinking along the sames lines as you.

    2027 Scout EV Price Estimate?? Hope and dream of affordability!

    I believe you're right. I need to be very cognizant of the price because being in Canada, our dollar already sucks and importing it may add Trump's tariffs to the cost. It may not make any sense for me depending on what's happening with the trade wars and the value of our dollar. Trying to be...
