    Very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the Traveler with Rallye graphics.
  4. I'm skeptical of the range numbers [efficiency, charging speed discussions]

    Solid state likely won't be ready for mass production in 2 years. It's always "5 years away". It's tantalizing tech for sure. It will speed up EV adoption. Lots of companies are working on solid state like Hyundai and Toyota.

    EPA number is 55% City/45% highway. EV'S do better in the city.

    With the demographics there, more chargers will be built. There are already ones in Solon, Pepper Pike, and Beachwood. I'm in Rocky River.

    Where do you live in NEO? Some of the Sheetz here have Superchargers. There are Superchargers no matter which side of town you're on. It is far more economical to charge at home if you can.

    The traditional dealer model won't go away until we (voters) convince our politicians our desires are more important than the lobbyists who line their pockets.
  11. [Update: Scout Highly Confident' It'll Win Battle With Dealers] - California dealers demand Scout stop direct-to-consumer sales

    I would be okay with getting a Scout serviced at Audi or VW if I could still buy it online. There are multiple dealers within 50 miles of me. The Scout service/lifestyle centers probably won't be near me until year 2 or 3 of sales.
  12. [Update: Scout Highly Confident' It'll Win Battle With Dealers] - California dealers demand Scout stop direct-to-consumer sales

    It's the direct to consumer part that's the issue. All those other brands have their own dealerships and sales people. Dealers want to keep being the middleman. If Scout built traditional car dealerships this wouldn't be an issue.
  13. A Few Capabilities Requests

    Air suspension will be offered. Front and rear lockers are available. There's no drive shaft connecting the front and rear Motors so there's no need for a center differential.

  15. Harvester EREV analysis & predictions: 3 cylinder gasoline engine, HP output, EV battery pack size, fuel tank location, approach departure angle

    DEF is injected after the exhaust leaves the engine. It only gets into an engine unless someone screws up and adds it to the fuel tank. If that happens it can cause damage to the engine, injectors, and filters.
  16. Changed my Reservation from EV-Only to Traveler Harvester....Because of THIS Bonus use.

    We won't know for sure until Scout releases more technical details. Everything is pure speculation until then. Fortunately a reservation can be switched.

    Rivian claims to be opening a service center in Raleigh.
  19. Pricing difference between EV+Gas (Harvester) vs. Full-EV model?

    I've never seen Scout say 350 miles on battery for the Harvester . It's always been a smaller battery with a range of around 150 miles and Harvester providing the rest. https://scoutmotors.community.forum/threads/scout-traveler-faq.1080/post-11275
