? ack that's not good. This was the most troubling part for me in terms of how it might affect Scout Motors: "Analysts have warned the combination of pricing pressure, lower dividends from China joint ventures and committed investments will likely leave Volkswagen with a free cash flow close to...

Brings up an interesting thought... I wonder if VW / Scout will attempt to get state legislators to allow direct car sales in South Carolina? Anyone know the history of such efforts in the state (for other companies like Tesla / Rivian / Lucid)?

That is ironic. Do you know if Tesla/Rivian ever got close to being allowed to sell directly in the state? Or is the automotive dealer lobby / allegiance too strong?

I posted this earlier in another thread Scout Motors confirmed that it's considering having the spare tire carrier be optional. But it looks like it's removable - see photo of the hinge pin on the spare tire carrier.

Buncha photos from the event ?

This discussion got me thinking about undercoating even if not standard or offered from factory. Here's a test of different undercarriage / underbody undercoat options

Thanks for update. Since the concepts have been such a hit, they should offer a "Concept" trim (or another name, doesn't matter what) which basically mimics the concept Traveler and Terra closely or as much as possible.

Yea great for concept vehicles, not so much for dirty greasy hands/arms. Hope that door storage area is big enough for large thermos, water bottle, hydro flask

Personally I usually install rubber all-weather floot mats / liners as soon as I get my cars, but the Scout Traveler in a higher spec trim may be my most premium vehicle yet so a more premium easy-to-maintain-clean floor material and floor mats like this would be a nice factory option to tick...

Scout will also have lower production costs than the full-EV only companies if take rates really end up being 80%+ Harvester EREV models. The Harvester will have a smaller battery paired with ICE engine generator so its overall cost should be less than the full-EV with a much larger battery...

Don't need to be attending the game. They should be on display outside the stadium, so anyone can go see them.
