    Are you still a Scout buyer without $7500 EV tax credit?

    It has been reported that the new president plans to do away with the EV credit, if this happens will you fork over the extra $7500 or take a pass? I guess for me it depends on the final price announced by Scout Motors down the road, but $60K is pretty much as high as I will go...

    Power Folding Mirrors

    I have a 16’ wide garage but will have to share with the wife, she flat refuses to park her car under the carport. So the charger will just have to be equipped with a longer cable as she parks on the left side. I do park my Ranger without issue but the Traveler will be 5” wider with the mirrors...

    Scout Motors Production Plant Factory Update [October 2024]: Assembly, Paint Shop, Body Shop & Finish Areas Taking Form

    The issue with Unions are they start off fine, with good intentions, then thru greed want more and more until the company either prices themselves out of the market or goes bankrupt. Stellantis/GM is in big trouble, Ford has raised prices where a F150 costs you your life savings. A big reason...

    Well, I hope it turns out that way, but he said it again today, and as he can't be elected again.......

    Pricing difference between EV+Gas (Harvester) vs. Full-EV model?

    And due to the change in Administration in DC come January both scouts will be $7500 more expensive as the electric vehicle discount goes away. (which has been promised)

    Review: Design professor gives "A" grade to both Scout Traveler & Terra

    That was a good watch, just reinforced my reasons to get one.

    Rear air vents needed in Scout production models. Preferred location: floor, B-pillar, center console??

    Kind of hard to add vents to a glass or cabana roof, or a front bench seat with folding center seat. Only option that works with all versions (thus minimizing cost and parts) is floor vents under front seats.

    EREV, Hybrid (Series vs. Parallel), PHEV in the Scout

    With a four banger in this case and you run the battery down to safety shutoff then I would think you would have to gas up and let the generator run for awhile to get back on the move, how long would depend on several things, generator output, battery charge rate, and DOC needed to resume...

    Tow Hitch on Scout Traveler & Terra production models confirmed. Location you prefer?

    I also carry a couple of E-Bikes fairly often, my CRV required a hitch extender due to spare on rear hatch, 130 lbs total and never an issue. I expect the Traveler to be the same.

    Scout Motors Production Plant Factory Update [October 2024]: Assembly, Paint Shop, Body Shop & Finish Areas Taking Form

    Well, if not then they would be remiss in not using all of that flat rooftop to offset what is going to be a huge electric bill.

    Scout store merchandise - shipping costs

    I hate it when the shipping is 50% of the item cost, why I shop on Amazon as much as possible.

    Key Fob first look photos (with keychain tab / pull accessories)

    The fob for my wife's Prius isn't to big, and has a 10' range, so just the act of grabbing the door handle unlocks the door, and just a button push starts the car, hers never leaves her purse. I tell you what is huge, the fob for my Ford Ranger, like lugging a brick around in my pocket,

    VW dealers / NADA may sue to change Scout's direct-to-customer business plan

    THIS! I have never gone to a Stealer once the warranty period is over and I no longer get free service. I have a neighborhood garage that does awesome work in a timely manner, not taking in your vehicle and letting it sit on the lot for weeks waiting for parts or service bay space. I spoke to...

    Scout Motors plant may build vehicles for other brands (including VW), and more Scout models

    I agree, I live 30 miles East of Sacramento, so expect a center fairly close, and with 80% of repairs being done OTA and via mobile repair units I'm not worried about service.
