Typically the Harvester will kick in as you are driving once the battery gets down to 60% (my estimate). The idea is to keep the battery from loosing to much reserve power for high demand needs (towing, passing etc). May cycle on and off or keep running based on power demand as you are driving...

Thanks for the pic’s. Detail on the battery/fuel/available driving range on the dash display was new to me. Scouts in background were pretty amazing also.

Need some creative and logical options to be developed (VERY difficult for a political process to deliver). Barring that, as funding is neglected at least Scout is reasonably positioned for “survival of the fittest”. Recently hit a road crater with a Jeep Gladiator which knocked it out of...

No details yet BUT I am betting on a yes. The current styling mules have an off-road look but not much actual content. The interior styling in the initial release vehicles is definitely NOT utility/off road practical. The styling mule wheels seem to the same as Rivian uses so if the factory...

Interesting question. As production gets closer I would like to know IF any provisions for “semi simple” battery replacement have been designed into the vehicles. May not need to remove harvester hardware, just use it less with updated battery tech and software. Things are changing so quickly...

This is more of what I had in mind vs the cabana roof and the high end interior. The front end looks much more substantial than the light sheet metal below the bumper on the original styling mule. ALSO the rock sliders look beefy enough. Wonder what protects the bottom of the battery pack? This...

Well we know the one that Leno drove. I assume the one with the fade heritage sport stripes is a separate vehicle, not sure if it is actually drivable (anyone see it at a Scout event?). It appears that the green off-road model is a computer generated image (too bad it is badass cool). Oh yeah...

It seems there is no way to know for sure. Prior discussions have noted that the reservation ID#’s are not sequential. As you mentioned certain option/power combo’s may be schedule for production in batches irregardless of order date. Not sure anyone has a clue at this time.

The more the merrier at the production facility. Sharing space will add cash flow that can with reducing Scout’s overhead.

I am all in on my Scout order. Assumed EV tax credits would not be around by 2028(ish). EV tech should continue to drop in cost (relatively due to economies of scale) and ALL vehicles will cost more. Looking for reduced operating costs to help finance my transition to EV. PS: Scout’s comment’s...

The recent message thread about forum members losing interest and getting concerned about how the future of Scout will play out seemed to capture a pretty common feeling. How about Scout giving us a little more insight into what is going on with the development and testing using engineering...

I am hanging on to my reservation. In 2 + years EVERYTHING will be more expensive regardless of current distractions in Washington. Not a lot of new info on Scout recently so Forum has been a little slower. I have collected Scout pic’s over the past few months that I look at to remind me of why...

Sounds promising. Will need a long term bi-partisan commitment to maintain some level of incentive and or protection to sustain these jobs (many 2-3 years out). Oh yah, need skilled workers for these jobs who are committed to productivity and quality.

Good question/suggestion. All of the interior discussion has focused on screens/software. I the camera shots don’t recall seeing much detail on cup holders etc. Don’t think much about it until you need it?!

I this situation time may be on Scout’s side. ALL of the competitors prices will also rise (steel/aluminum etc.) and Scout can pick their suppliers based these new market pressures without already being locked into contracts/bids. May even be able to lease out production space in the state of...

I get the argument BUT: looking forward to simplicity of BEV maintenance (no oil/coolant/water pumps/spark plugs/fuel injectors/trans fluids etc). Any vehicle with regen braking will reduce brake jobs (not sure about wheel bearings/diff’s ext elimination?). There is the issue of battery life...

Wow, this thread is all over the place?! VW needs access to working knowledge of integrating simplified software into vehicle design and production. Rivian is clearly ahead of any other EV manufacturer currently based the US. This practical knowledge is not available from “off the shelf software...

I agree that more details on interior options would be great. I use my current SUV to haul dogs, various landscaping/construction supplies and take it out into fields/woods. It has black woven fabric seats/carpet (WeatherTech mats) that hide dirt well. When I really mess the seats/carpet up it...

So as I read this thread I started to think of the “heritage” of the Scout brand which gets talked about a lot. The original Scouts were simple, heavy duty work trucks. This made the prime candidates for modifying for high difficulty off roading. Pretty sure the last generation stock Scouts...
