Don't worry about this, it's a Stellantis product, they are all garbage now.

Got email to put in address. Just did it.

Non-logical California is testing the idea of taxing based on miles driven this is in response to their lack of knowledge around the basic fact that the more EV's on the road the less gas tax they collect. I swear politicians are of the lowest intelligence known to man. I don't have issues...

Likely not since 2 doors in general are not big volume sellers in the US, 2 door SUV's even less so there just isn't any profit in it and a new company needs to show a move towards profitability.

Battery technology will improve however it's the infrastructure that will take some time. Having a 500 mile range (optimal conditions) is great but the ability to easily charge wherever you are is still years away. The ability to just hop in your EV and go, not even worrying about where you'll...

Not losing interest at all but realistically I see production deliveries more into 2028. In the meantime I traded in my S5 coupe on a CPO BMW X5 45e PHEV. There is logic here...stay with me. 1. I'm 6'4 and my boys are tall so the coupe was fun really for me except when getting out. 2. I wanted...

Of course not, I'm stating the simple/logical solution would be a shift of the tax. But likely will never happen, even though it would bring in much more tax revenue.

It seems to be the simplest solution is a use based tax on mileage. Remove any fuel taxes at the pump and shift that to mileage based taxes. Then there could be tax rebates based on income so it all get's settled at tax time. In the Bay Area all the Federal EV tax credits don't really matter...

While I agree the battery technology is getting better and more advanced the real concern should be around infrastructure. Power generation & distribution is a real challenge and the one that is going to dictate EV growth. Where I live in the Bay Area it's relatively easy to charge, though lines...

It's also a tough choice as I also like sunroofs/panoramic roofs in SUVs. This could make the car really dark.

Being in California this makes perfect sense, I'm just concerned about durability, security and weatherproofing. I park my vehicles outside.

This is normal marketing & cold weather testing. Nothing new but interesting to hear the story about what they are gathering data on also just to see the vehicle development moving forward.

I 100% agree, and I think that is the point of a reservation to see what develops should it be good and you don't want to wait too long and have the option to purchase. Keep in mind in the past many reservation releases do allow holders to delay order/delivery to fit your schedule we might be...

I understand your requirements on towing. My only point is that for $100 why not just wait and see? No requirement to buy a Scout as you can always cancel your reservation but for the low reservation cost there is nothing to lose, no risk at all. Just let it ride. Best case towing numbers for...

It doesn't make any sense to cancel your reservation(s). Full specs are still not known as everything until production is just assumption. Seeing as how the reservation can be refundable at any time, why not just keep it? Is that $100 really going to be needed now? For me I'm still excited and...

Not any change. The tariff stuff going on, while chaotic is still completely undecided and from what I have been reading about is more about getting countries to the table vs actually having a tariff. With the low refundable reservation cost there is no reason to cancel as I honestly think...

I say they go full retro and go with 2 keys. 1 for the door and 1 for ignition ;) I'm sure some of us remember those days. ?

The real issue with bio fuels is infrastructure. There are many that can't travel through current petroleum pipelines, making distribution too much of a challenge to offset widespread gains at this time.

This would be a reason to get the hybrid. "Save" on the cost of a back up generator ;)

My wife has a Tesla EV and I don't want all my mobility under 1 fuel type I like to diversify. When the power went out everyone without gas was screwed for 2+ days. Our water heater was fine (checked pilot) and could cook on stovetop as normal as well as gas BBQ in backyard. People with EV's...
