I don't see why the Harvester would cost more. If the battery in the EREV is half the size of the BEV battery and uses a less expensive chemistry then it should be equivalent or cheaper than the BEV version. A 4 cylinder engine is surely cheaper or equivalent in cost to a 60-70 kWh battery even...

i can see the argument either way for having the start button but it’s likely not going to reboot the vehicle nor will it impact vampire drain. No EV turns off completely. it’s more like its sleeping Rivian has the issue because of engineering and software. While they have improved it some...

Tariffs aren't nothing but still a bit early to see how it impacts their base price. Maybe they remove some features to try to keep that price and raise the prices of more optioned models. I could see the top spec Traveler being in the $85-90k range now. Which would be a bit too high for me...

ease up folks... this is pre-production and "demo" version of their software. that isn't really an indication of the responsiveness of the production version. we also have no idea of the hardware/architecture being used to power the demo. could be very different in production.

B&W, Mark Levinson, Meridian - in that order. For those that say name don't matter, it does, if you want the highest quality sound. And if they go in-house, it matters even more. Go read any Rivian thread on their in-house system and you'll see what a disaster its been. Sound, like seats...

Folks should keep in mind, just because you're willing to drive hours to get service, doesn't mean Scout will sell you a vehicle (at first) unless you're within some minimum distance. It becomes costly and logistically complex for Scout to support owners who are 4+ hours from a service center...

Yes but there are limitations. At some point they will need to lock down the design because they need to secure the supply chain for all the parts and the production process. There might be room for some minor changes and it'll likely be different from what they showed ad reveal/CES but thats...

Camera-only based systems, like Tesla can work well but if certain conditions change, then you're increasing the chances of the system failing. Fog, rain, shadows, bright lights, etc can hinder the system working correctly because it doesn't have another system like radar or lidar, which work...

The Director of UX at Scout indicated you can enable Harvestor while in "Outdoor" (camp) mode. If that does make production, then I'm almost 100% sold on getting the Traveler with that option when its becomes available.

I think time will determine how this plays out and impacts companies like Scout, Rivian, Lucid as well as GM and Ford. Scout is still at least 2.5 years away from production so that gives them time to see the landscape. Overall, I'm concerned about the BEV market in the US and how we'll be able...

oh boy... its looking like it might not be ready to produce till 2028. When have manufacturers, especially new ones hit production early or even on time? Fingers crossed though they hit late 2027.

Oh yeah, the vehicles as shown at reveal are going to be way more than the base $60k price. I'd imagine somewhere in the ~$85-90k range. If they can hit ~$75k with full specs I'll be incredibly impressed.

150 miles on battery only seems like sweet spot for daily driving for most people, though thats impacted by the battery chemistry. if its LFP then you'll be able to charge it fully to 100% daily without much worry about battery degradation. if its NMC, then ideally you want to keep the state...

Yeah, noticed that as well. Hopefully for production models they increase the height because it is too low.

Rivians never released the tank turn feature. Said it was not environmentally friendly. Not sure a vehicle can do it without 4 motors, one at each wheel. I suppose its possible with the use friction brakes, maybe lock the opposite corner wheels and have the other corner wheels spin in...

Don;t worry, it is likely going to be optional. The prototype they showed is the "maxed" out version.

Not sure what’s legal or not wrt leaving a car running unattended. But I’ve also been wondering this but my use cases are if you’re camping and overlanding or maybe a power outage at home. Will it charge while vehicle is parked?

Right now reservations are based on very limited specs and pricing. As they get closer to production candidate, we'll have a better idea of those two things and I imagine some folks will shift what they want. Past history tells us most manufacturers produce the halo versions first because of...

Looks great so far. Here's hoping they planned ahead so that when they actually release the vehicles, the h/w won't be outdated and can not only power the s/w at release but have the headroom to take on more/new features.

I hope Scout doesn't make the same mistake as Rivian wrt service. After more than two years since delivering its first vehicles, Rivian service is still lagging with months long appointment queues, vehicles sitting for days in the shop before even being looked at, tons of money spent on...
