It's a generator, it does not propel the vehicle directly. It should be exempt from testing.

No. This is a credit against taxes you owe, and is claimed on the next tax return filed after purchase.

Nothings for certain, until they have a production model and the assembly line setup to run.

You may be able to get a battery upgrade, it depends on the direction Scout takes. The generator, fuel tank, and associated components will be integrated into the vehicle.

Scout is committed. They are far enough along that they are not going away anytime soon. What comes rolling off the line in three years may not be what they are advertising now, but they will have something to sell.

Just an understanding of how things actually happen. I do service work for a national restaurant chain, and have spent a lot of time in a lot of kitchens. Yeah, they are sanitary and follow the health code, but after seeing how things are done you lose the desire to eat any of the food...

I wouldn't give up on it just yet. The Harvester is a great concept that will attract buyers. They do need to let go of the idea of stuffing it underneath, and building their own generator using a VW engine. I don't see that working out well, especially for a vehicle that is intended to be...

Did his better half call and question the charge? Maybe someone decided a Scout is not in his future.

I like the Terra Harvester. I'm going to wait until they are actually rolling off the line before making a decision. That's about the time I'll be looking at a new truck. The new factory will have plenty of space. I think they should pull out the plans for the last Scout produced and start...

I want a Terra Harvester, but I'm going to wait and see what actually rolls off the production line. I'm skeptical that they can accomplish what they want to achieve without putting the generator up front. I would prefer it there, instead of stuffed underneath.

I have a RSI Smartcap on my Jeep. I'm hoping for something similar. I'm waiting to see what happens. I'll be looking at a new truck around the time these start to roll off the line.

He stated where they want to put it, and what they plan to do. There have been no official statements from Scout to confirm what will actually happen. They are not far enough into the production and design process, yet, to confirm any of that.

They have not announced what they are going to use for a generator. Until they decide on a generator, they cannot finalize the location. When that is done, then they can determine the towing capacity. Final towing numbers will be available after they have production models, not prototypes, to...

Really, under normal conditions, how much maintenance and repair will there be? At least 80% outside of the manufacturer repair facility is not an unreasonable expectation for a BEV. I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf. I have only replaced tires and wiper blades. It was a lease return. The dealer...

I would guess that the 800V electrical system is included in the 20% that Scout considers to not be serviceable by the vehicle owner.

The plan for the Range Extender is just a separate generator, something like what you would find on an RV. It could be air-cooled, or have a radiator. There have not yet been any specific details released.

It's not an order, it's a reservation in line to place an order. It gives them some idea of demand so they can plan for the initial production run. They will start at the top of the list and start taking actual orders. Those at the top of the list should get the first deliveries, but it will...

That's what it is speculated at being. The details for the generator have not yet been released.

It's so funny to see so many people ready to give up after watching a video of two old guys shooting the shit and test driving a prototype that won't be available for two years.

You need a bed with sidewalls that will support the weight and stress. Most midsized pickups are not capable of that.
