    Time to give up the frunk (if you want the Harvester engine)...

    Frunk space is important in the SUV as it won’t have that much cargo space behind the second row, Terra has the bed. If you want a mall crawler then it doesn’t matter, but I live in hills near the Rubicon, and need space for camping & fishing gear 😀

    Anyone else losing excitement/interest?

    Same here, I won't purchase from a dealer and pay thousands more, not to mention the hassle and upsell attempts.

    Scout delivery on tribal land

    We have 3 Tribal Casino/Resorts around me, one being close to some great off road areas including the Rubicon and an off road park.

    Battery Size kWh estimated

    It will need a low range gear ratio or the instant torque will spin the tires with any pedal at all in dirt.

    I canceled our two reservations

    I went with your second option, rented a covered slip at Moss Landing Marina for $150 a month, less than the fuel it would take to drive the truck round trip, and much less wear and tear on both the truck and boat, plus a faster smoother ride in the hybrid at 55 mpg.

    Empty nester, both grown and gone, now we travel. Leaving for the Bay Islands (off the coast of Honduras) in a week to do some diving, fishing, and drinking, in that order.

    I know, and that's twice as much as my 1st home cost!! Crazy! Still not sure I want to drop that much on a vehicle that will lose 20K as soon as I drive it off the lot.

    So if you're going west and the wind is going east, are you taking the long way around? all 24K miles of it :)

    Senators propose killing $7500 EV tax credit, adding new $1,000 tax for road repairs

    LFP is Lithium, Solid State is coming, BYD has one out in limited amount for testing, 600 mile range and 20-80% charge in 5 minutes with a 1000v system.

    Senators propose killing $7500 EV tax credit, adding new $1,000 tax for road repairs

    Nobody said anything about $7500 breaking anyone, but it was always an incentive and a consideration when thinking about an EV. And the Federal 30% credit on Solar is huge!, I received a total of $12K between State (PUC) and Federal tax credits, was a major decision in going solar on my house. I...

    Senators propose killing $7500 EV tax credit, adding new $1,000 tax for road repairs

    Not just Florida, all across the country, Calif has a huge solar industry, the Governor has said the State solar credit will remain at least. There are huge solar farms that will lose investment and expansion funds, thousands will be put out of work and many solar companies will go out of...

    Senators propose killing $7500 EV tax credit, adding new $1,000 tax for road repairs

    Well, the tax credits are dead now, so the price of any Scout (or other EV) just jumped $7500. This also includes Solar and wind power. A huge win for the fossil fuel industry. If you plan on a new EV better get it before Sept when this kicks in.

    Not sure what you mean? The EREV is just a generator, not connected to the drive system at all, just charges the battery.

    Convert to full EV later from harvester

    I agree, BYD already has a model with 600+ miles range and 5 minute charging, in 10 years there will be 1000 mile range with solid state batteries and 5-10 minute charging. The tech is moving at warp speed with super computers and AI designing the next generation before we can field the current one.

    Convert to full EV later from harvester

    Why so positive? In ten years solid state batteries with 5 minute charging and 600+ miles range will be the norm. BYD already has one, I will admit that US Tech is behind BYD by a few years but we will catch up at some point. Removing the Harvester and replacing the battery with a SS one would...

    Not even Scout calls it a hybrid, follow the link to Scout faq page provided by @MTN COLT above.

    So? Will you admit you were mistaken ?

    well, you can call it anything, but to me it is just an EV with a gas generator, I guess you could throw a generator in the bed of a lighting and call it a hybrid.
