If sold through a VW dealer, after owning an ID.4, I’m out.

Absolutely agree. Thousands of dollars in free interest for a $100 refundable reservation on a vehicle everyone knew wouldn’t be available until 2027 (at best), is a bit of an unreasonable request.

why release information that is guaranteed to change before production starts?

Toyota has had this right from the jump when they said they wouldn’t commit to full EVs several years ago.

other way around for me. I have an EV, but want the EREV to make road trips more enjoyable. I’m doing a 1200 mile round trip in December, the extra time spent charging is just a PITA.

Right in line with the insane prices of all Jeeps. Sadly, Jeep owners accept and live with the poor build quality, but their customer base will erode if they don’t do something to correct the pricing models.

100%. I’m on my 10th VAG vehicle and have never had a major issue on any of them. Much better experience than the 3 Hondas I owned.

If it was the class of vehicle you wanted, why wouldn’t you?

I’m going to guess a poster similar to what was in the email.

Sign in on the Scout website. I didn’t have an address on file, but it prompted for one as soon as I logged in.

As an ID.4 owner, it’s about damn time! They promised June, so at least they hit the same year.

Key component you are missing, I doubt there is any way for Scout to verify their battery components and other critical minerals meet the requirements for the rebate at this point and they certainly wouldn’t be able to document that and get approval with the govt in time. The other requirement...

if they are near the entrance, they will constantly be blocked by empty ICE vehicles. The reason they put them at the far end of the lot is to give other drivers no reason to want to park there.

Trying to imagine why a 3.5-4.5 second 0-60 time in a large, off-road oriented SUV would be something to be bummed about.

UAW contract with VW isn’t state specific, so the state doesn’t have anything to do with it. Scout will try to use the “different company” approach, but they will have a fight on their hands. UAW is desperate to add new members and will likely be in SC organizing before VW hires the first line...

they will have a hard time avoiding it now that Chattanooga is organized.

VW in Chatt pays around $23/hour for no experience/high school grad now, but that will be going up at least 14% since that was their initial offer to the UAW after the vote last year. Pretty safe to bet Scout will be in line with whatever VW and the UAW settle on for their contract. I’d guess...

Production is two (or more) years away. A hell of a lot can change between now and then, but the fact VW has already been discussing bringing Porsche and Audi production utilizing the VW plant in Chattanooga and the Scout plant tells me they are planning way ahead as a counter to any tariff...

Yep. I have a Jeep, have never taken them off. Most Jeep owners I know have never taken them off. I’d guess the percentage of Bronco/Jeep owners that do it more than once, for the novelty of it, are in the single digits.

Might want to check the oil cooler too. Jeep things. ?
