More power to them. I hope they make some nice warm sounds. Sampling technology has been around for decades. There’s no reason why more cars can’t do this, it’s very easy. The sounds that my Defender has for chimes and warnings are downright goofy sounding, and can’t come close to matching the...

Ugh - Hard pass. Fuuuuuggglllyyyyy

The one thing that I can’t understand is the need for so much power and speed. They say there will be an off road version. Do people over 30 really whomp the juice pedal and use those 0 to warp speed velocities? Ive never been a pedal to the metal guy unless passing the annoying Prius or...

He forgot Fisker 😅…… Hopefully mine will last until I get a Scout in my driveway

I’ve always liked Jeeps, had a Comanchee pickup that I loved until it was stolen and totaled…. But just my opinion the Scout looks way cooler…. Did someone mention range? 😜

Probably not. We had such a bad experience with the Q8 and the dealership that it has forever tarnished any future thinking on purchasing another Audi. The dealership were a bunch of ego driven douchebags that all, especially the service manager, thought “our cars are the greatest things ever...

That is interesting. Audi could build anything, even some sort of design based on their Activesphere SUV/Truck concept. Could be cool looking. For my wife and I though, we got a taste of Audi with the 2023 Q8 we bought. And we learned that it didn’t matter if you paid a bunch of money, looked...

Still, the engine/generator produces emissions so that has to be checked to make sure it is in compliance with State regulations. Probably depends on the State. Here in Oregon, my Cadillac ELR had to get tested for emissions even though the generator was not propelling the car directly, using...

Does anyone know if this is a for sure color (Pacific Mist Blue)? I was planning on going with the Burnt Orange or red if offered, but I really like this light silver/blue. To me it gives it a real upscale look. Personally I’m not one for stripes. I don’t see it on their website unless I’m...

I don’t know squat, but a quick search shows luxury brands having air suspension or the choice of it. But anything under that echelon you get a choice or no choice…. So I’m willing to bet 99 bottles of beer on the wall that since Scout is not coming in as a “luxury” brand, but trying to appease...

Yes absolutely for sure that Scout is going to be heavy tech. And that’s what every EV is. Unfortunately software is TOUGH. Obviously Fisker effed up as bad as anyone could :angry: So it is awesome news that Rivian is in on this. Although admittedly I don’t know how good Rivian‘ software is. No...

Got it. I guess….. it sounds like maybe a majority of people who want Scouts want the less expensive coils and simplicity over possible air suspension driving refinement (and possible long term issues and/or maintenance), or along those lines perhaps. I can certainly see the allure of the Scout...

I was reading threads and there were several mentions of people wanting coil spring suspensions for their Scout. I know there are new fangled shocks out there, leaf spring, coils, bags, air, who knows what else. I’m not up on these things. Can someone tell me why coils are preferable? I mean I...

Thats a crazy one….. I’ve never seen a 7 year patent (in this case design patent). I’ve read thousands of patents . That’s a new one on me. As far as I knew, the only way you could have a 7 year patent was in the 1800’s. 7 years? Why even bother?

It would suck though, if you couldn’t sit in it. And I bet you won’t be able to. And I would understand why. With my Defender, it wasn’t the look of the car at all, it was almost all a decision to buy it based on how the interior looked and what it felt like sitting in it. Love at first sit…😍...

Wife ordered a new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, built in the US. Took 45 days from laying out some dough to delivery. Wife likes color of 2023 Audi Q8 better 🙄 a few years later so gets that ordered. Was built in Europe and delivered in 4 months. After 2 years, wife and I agree that Audi Q8 is a dog...

Has anyone heard what electric “modes” there will be in the Scout? I don’t even remember what my i3 had, if any. My Fisker has Earth , Fun, and Hyper mode. Earth mode sucks (front wheel drive mode only and feels weak), Fun mode is great and Hyper is even better but unnecessary for me 99% of the...

I've been driving EREV's or full electric for 10 years. I never once have had to pay for charging. Like most people (but not all), I only go 20 to 50 miles per day when I drive my electric. My Fisker on a great day (75+ degrees) gets 320+ miles at 90% charge, maybe 220 when it's cold. I charge...

Ugh, that changes things. I was hoping for a full EV Traveler. If it comes to pass that the BEV is going to be behind by 6 months or more, I'd probably switch back to the Harvester model. Unless it's going to be a lot more money for the Harvester model.....

If I had a choice of "none of the above" I would have picked that. Actually the stereo in my lowly Fisker is really good. Probably the second best of any car stereo I've had across a ton of cars (Panasonic 3d system). The worst? The Meridian system in my wife's 2017 FPace. Sounded like garbage...
