Agree! We have made the transition from ICE to BEV luckily thru my wife's PHEV. Replacement for the PHEV will be an EREV because the wife will not rely on BEV tech... Replacement for my BEV will be BEV.

Same here - agree - hoping Scout has the vehicle when it rolls out compared to the competion. So far, loving my Ford BEV and have reservations with both Slate and Scout as a future adopter.

Got an email from Slate answering my question about Tesla SC access:

My question to the CEO was not answered: Slate and Tesla agreement for either plug & charge w/ driver discount going to be available ? Currently my BEV requires me to open the Tesla app, select the charge location, then choose the charge tower number in order to get the discounted rate. Would...

Having had a F150 Lightning for a year, I can say that I was an early adopter. If I had lived in rural America, it would be perfect for me. I am so glad I was able to get back more than what I paid for it when I traded her in. Waiting for the Terra!

Reservation made. Will see if 2026 delivers. Daily commuter EV truck is perfect! Slate probably will fit inside my garage compared to the Ford Lightning that didn't and ended up trading her in.....

100% correct. Ford Lightning was released in 2022 with the Lariat and Platinum trims first and foremost. Very few could get their hands on the base Pro or XLT trims. I had to get a Lariat trim even though I didn't want all those bells and whistles. Originally wanted the $39K base Pro but...

I hope Scout does not do that "bait & switch" trick on early reservations. GM was purely awful at advertising their base Chevy Silverado $42K EV WT which never came to fruition and starting price was almost double 2 years later. Luckily, got my 2 year reservation cancelled and got my $100 back.

Tax credit may go away if the battery production is outside North America or it's friendly ally countries. My Ford BEV got $7500 in 2022 but only half credit for my 2023 Mach E due to the changing rules every year tightening the requirements...

I had a '22 Lightning Lariat SR battery for a year. Traded her in because it was way too large for my urban lifestyle in metropolitan Los Angeles. Lightning was the best - not a single issue since day 1 which is unheard of compared to problematic: BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes I have owned...

Currently love my '23 Mach E. Best commuter and distance vehicle with very few issues. Hoping it keeps it up while I wait for the Scout. Please have a next get battery pack - no more NMC.... Standard range battery - gets best range (3.75 miles/kWh) in the fall and winter months when I don't...

Love both Ford Lightning and Mach E. Both are problem free and not a single issue (except recently for my Mach E needing a TSB). I'd buy another Ford but they shelved the SUV idea recently. Looking forward to the Scout !!!

Reservations are totally refundable. My past reservations: 2022 Ford Lightning 2023 Ford Mach E 2023 Silverado WT EV 2024 GMC Denali EV Took delivery of both Fords but none on the GM/Chevy EVs and got a full refund 2 year after finding out their base EV WT was nowhere to be had for $42K.

Ford Mach E - if it makes it to 2027.....

Any word on when VW will have access to Tesla Superchargers ? When Ford was the first brand to access Tesla SC, that was what made me keep the Mach E instead of trading it in because finding CCS1 fast chargers were a pain. So many brands started giving away free charging sessions at EA and the...

Honda Clarity PHEV is also a parallel hybrid w/ eCVT. 2018 with 70K miles has been solid - no issues - very little cost to own. Small 7 gallon gas tank will extend range from 45 miles pure EV to 350 miles of hybrid driving. 2 factory extended warranty / recalls: A/C evap and low pressure fuel...

Only EVs that old are Tesla drivers. Most of my Tesla friends and family have either sold, turned in (lease), or exchanged for newer models. Being EVs are very new to me (1st gen Ford Mach E), I don't plan on keeping her past the 3yr/36 month warranty. These are beta vehicles meant for data...

Hope EV batteries will be anything other than NCM. Let's push for solid state batteries!

Yes, this would be such a huge change for the consumer! I hated that I had to find dealers far away that would not charge ADM (markup) on top of the MSRP. '22 Lightning - 2 counties away for $0 ADM. '23 Mach E - 2 counties away for $0 ADM. Shame that I had to pass by 6+ Ford dealers all...
