  1. Harvester Selection -- use the gas engine to keep the batteries close to fully charged?

    My general understanding is that that the generator kicks in when the battery (Harvester model has a smaller battery than the full EV) reaches some level of discharge. 70% for example as determined by the software. The generator then runs to provide a base level of electricity to maintain...
  2. Scout "Wayfinder" E-Mail Invitation

    Nothing here. Would be interested IF it’s legit.
  3. First Look! Scout Traveler in New Color "Pacific Mist Blue" (at NYC Debut)

    This interior is closer to what I would prefer vs. initial Traveler. Color looks good. The size is still hard for me to comprehend until I can see it in person. It would be great if Scout provided a pic next to some other current production (OR A CLASSIC SCOUT!) vehicle so we could get a sense...
  4. New Scout Traveler Color "Pacific Mist" teaser

    YES on bright color options ( have a Jeep in “High Velocity” yellowish). Scout Sea Mist looks slightly green (Sea Foam Ford color similar). Still prefer the copper color of the initial Traveler BUT different colors will highlight different shapes/features of the body. Good to see more color...
  5. Anyone else losing excitement/interest?

    Well, fortunately there are “other” direct to consumer vehicles available. Probably the only deal breaker for me (as of now)anyway).
  6. Anyone else losing excitement/interest?

    Open the “Manage Your Reservation “ link on the reservation confirmation e-mail you received from Scout. Should be able to request the refund there BUT what’s the rush. We are nowhere near the end of the timeline laid out at the time orders opened. When I ordered on 10/25/24 I assumed my actual...
  7. Power options

    IF a dealer is not involved in the transaction where will I get the magic sprays applied to the interior and windshield etc that I MUST have ??? RE powertrains: love my ICE diesels and V8’s but putting full gas into the new Scout would be a little like resto-modding a new performance car with a...
  8. Manufacturers need to address the following EV Towing scenarios:

    Want to see the actual interior to decide. I know my dogs vote YES.
  9. Local dealership in Socal

    There will customer experience centers owned by Scout (current plan) vs conventional dealerships. You will be able to look at/drive some demo vehicles, place an order and take delivery of your vehicle. Some will also have service bays. Ment as a place to do business and also have a social...
  10. Scout has been quiet lately

    I noticed the Radio Silence. The “official “ site has also been quiet. Last construction update was June 5th. I guess we are in the phase of design/ramp up where the details are being hammered out and there are not a lot of exciting details to announce. Last official reports were that the...
  11. Scout delivery on tribal land

    Looks like Scout is taking another route to dealing with state by state auto franchise laws . See attached article seeking federal relief from the US Justice Department for “anticompetitive practices”. https://apple.news/Avzt39Kq2Sem6Q5zbl45BGA
  12. Scout delivery on tribal land

    YES to getting this sorted out. RE tribal land, anywhere there is a tribal casino there is legal precedent for tribal exemption from state laws (including remote delivery from a tribal based dealer center?) Tribes also have an established cash flow to state government from gaming compacts to...
  13. Share memories of your original old Scouts

    Thank you for your service and the cool Scout pic. 10-4 on the fuel milage. Had a 80’s V8 Jeep CJ as a work vehicle. You could almost watch the fuel gauge fall as you drove it (still was an awesome ride).
  14. Electric Ford Bronco but only in china!

    Good to know that Ford is doing the work to compete globally and develop technology that will “eventually?” benefit us. I love my ICE and am onboard EV with my Traveler. I have long term concerns about our auto/truck industry’s competitiveness IF we just keep building ICE vehicles/conventional...
  15. Traveler SUV's Cargo Space

    There is a thread in this forum from back in November “Cargo area capacity and dimensions of Scout Traveler” under General Scour EV Topics. Didn’t have any firm details but made some estimates.
  16. How well will the 2027 Scout Traveler hold its value?

    Fair question. I have assumed all along 2028 delivery (fingers crossed!!). Prefer they don’t rush into production “just because” . IF 6-8 month delay gets me a solid state battery vs existing tech I would wait if given a choice.
  17. Cooling the Harvester gas engine / heat management

    Others have explained that the Harvester is a “series hybrid”. The onboard generator is NOT a high capacity unit capable of quickly re-changing a depleted battery. Best guess that the Harvester unit will “likely” kick in when a heavy sustained draw occurs on a well charged battery (long uphill...
  18. How well will the 2027 Scout Traveler hold its value?

    UNLNOWN! The rate of innovation occurring with EV’s doesn’t help maintain resale values. IF a solid state technology battery is not available at the time of Scout’s sales rollout the resale will likely decline. Current 3 year old EV resale values are typically less than equivalent ICE models...
  19. Dream: 2-Door Scout

    Had a 2 door Wrangler. Liked the looks (Mohito green is back!) and short turning radius . Definitely more agile off road.. On road the short wheelbase got “bucky” over highway expansion joints (stiffer off road suspension didn’t help). Traded it for a Gladiator diesel when they ended diesel...
  20. Harvester

    The generator “may” have enough capacity to keep you moving at a very low battery charge level depending on demand. I know the battery size is smaller and has different chemistry that will allow it to be drawn down more safely to low levels. Intent is to keep you moving the longest time...
