Scout has said their goal is to start production build in late 2027 for delivery in 2028. I think hope they meet their timeline, rather than expect, is a better term for most of us. If my current truck holds out, I'd be fine with 2029. But their sole investor is VW which is in a world of...

There have been several studies of non-Tesla public EV charging reliability. Throwing out the best and worst numbers, the rest are very close to 1 in 5 failed charge attempts.

The substantially reduced tow rating is not confirmed yet. And it would be substantially down from the Terra. But the Traveler BEV rating was always said to be 7k not 10k. The reduced tow rating came from a statement on Jay's Garage by Scott Kehoe and it was unclear. I haven't read it be...

There was some rumors in the automotive press but the first time I saw Scout confim the Harvester was launch day 10/24/2024. And on that day while it wasn't part of the details in any press packet, at least two vloggers asked and summarized the Scout spokesperson, I think one attributed it to...

I don't think the weight of the Harvester will be the limiting factor for towing weight. It's replacing an already heavy battery pack. I suspect the limiting factor will be the combined lower max discharge rate for the smaller battery and Harvester output, to meet the requirements of the SAE...

Even a 60-40 BEV revised split as they near production, which I believe is a pipe dream given current market results of BEV trucks and government realities, would not substantiate a business case for a pivot. Losing expected sales in total could. They would have a year or more of production...

Although I haven't had an electric truck yet I was with your general sentiment until you got to 'With the Harvester specifically, you end up with both a less capable truck and a less capable electric vehicle.' What is your justification for this statement since we don't know the final specs...

From a manufacturing perspective it's less than ideal, but from a business case perspective this is the best thing they could do. I think you are way overblowing the 'complexity'. Companies like Horse have drop in engine generators if Scout was concerned about complexity. China cranks out...

RAM has been publishing their specs more quickly than Scout, however clearly it's subject to change until order sheets come out too. The Ram 1500 REV | Range-Extended Electric Truck RAM says they'll have a 92kwh battery and a 130kw generator. They don't give specific mileage to efficiency...

We have some very good ideas of how this will work based on Scott (the CEO) and other Scout Rep statements and interviews of what their intentions are and this is based on engineering studies and POCs of what they can accomplish realistically. Of course this could change as development...

My understanding from all of the official Scout communication is that either bucket or bench seats will be available in both. I hadn't noticed the armrest but don't see why they would remove it. They've said the bench will have a fold down console with armrest in the middle but last I heard...

Unless there are restrictions about where gas would be available on your trip which doesn't seem likely, I think the better strategy is to leave the Harvester in the optimal setting to decide when to recharge on its own. Batteries don't like to be charged up to 100% or held there. 80-90% is...

Funny that I got that article suggested to me by Google and read it a few minutes ago. The idea that most people most of the time need less than the max range offered by most EV cars is very valid. But one level below that is whether someone really needs the longer range and what percent of...

I know I'm behind on this but on social media Scout said the Ft Worth day was the only one in Texas this year, but next year they will be back. I wish they would advertise locations across the US because I might fly to go see it since I missed Ft. Worth. State Fairs are a long term...

Interesting. The email from Scout I got did not say that (below). It implied but didn't outright say you needed the tickets to see them. But the Social Media reply I got from them did say winning the tickets was not necessary to see them. The Scout® Terra™ and Scout® Traveler™ are heading...

I'm sure they will in 2027 and perhaps 2026. They need more vehicles because that's a long time to tie 2 of probably a handful up. Fairgoers expect to be able to sit in a model so it would be awkward to have only one or two cars behind ropes with all the other accessible cars. This year...

On a Facebook post the Scout Motors account told me that the vehicles will be out in the open and visible to all in Thursday, but didn't explain what winning gets you. I would assume some closer up supervised access. After that the vehicles are leaving Texas and won't be back this year.

Yes I would like to enter to attend in other cities I could easily fly into. I assume I got the email based on my reservation address. I was hoping even if you couldn't get up close, that the Scouts would be available to see from further away for another day or two to or in other locations...

This goes back to expectations of a $60k+ truck. You are right for me, if Scout was still only EV I wouldn't have placed a reservation even though I've always said if a company revived the brand I would buy one, and I like everything I've seen to this point. It would be a non-starter. I'd keep...

I just got an email from Scout Motors that the Scouts will be in Fort Worth Texas on October 2 during the PBR Stockyards Showcase and you can enter to win a close up look. Unfortunately I have a commitment that day. But I was wondering if they would be hanging around any longer in DFW even if...
