Yes, this would be such a huge change for the consumer!
I hated that I had to find dealers far away that would not charge ADM (markup) on top of the MSRP.
'22 Lightning - 2 counties away for $0 ADM.
'23 Mach E - 2 counties away for $0 ADM.
Shame that I had to pass by 6+ Ford dealers all...
2022 F150 Lightning for one year and was very roomy for me so looking forward to the Scout.
Hoping the reservation and order delivery of the Scout will be better than how Ford handled the Lightning rollouts...
Agree - if Scout does not offer a newer battery tech, then I may skip out.
I had a Lightning F150 EV for a year and found the NCM batteries just do not have enough range, slow to charge based on 400V pack.
Hoping that Scout chooses a new battery tech like solid state or at least use 800V with...
100% agree - I'd be charging way more often than filling up with fuel.
My wife's PHEV rarely gets any gas fills in her small 7 gallon tank.
I'd rather see the charge port like a Tesla (driver rear) or front passenger side to not obstruct other spaces/chargers at Tesla.
I don't like it when I...
Oh no, not another dieselgate scandal!
That was mess ever since VW was caught....
I am waiting to see what the class action settlement is for my BMW 335D and BMW X5-35D I owned....
Yah, I turned on the heated steering wheel this past week when temps dropped to 50 degrees.
Alaskan storm system arriving and rare to have temps drop to 50 degrees here in So Calif...
Guess I'll never make it in snow weather parts of the country....

Your climate is the same as mine - A/C for most of the year and windows down the rest of the year (fall / winter).
Hardly ever does the heater gets turned on in So Calif.
Depending on what battery chemistry is used, will determine cold weather range.
We don't know what battery type will be used: NCM, LFP, Sodium, Solid State, etc....
EV experience since 2018: PHEV (Honda Clarity) and BEV (Ford Mach E).
Ways to extend range in cold weather:
Precondition the...
I hope the IH will not have to use a proprietary V2H setup like Ford's Lightning had (bidirectional Pro Charger) nor have to pay / subscribe to release/activate the feature.
Love those numbers!
Amazing for a stock vehicle.
With larger/taller tires, should be even better.
Wonder how it will compete with Jeep and Land Rovers in terms of offroad capabilities...
Happy to hear the port will be on the same location as Tesla.
My current EV is a Ford Mach E and it's tough to find a furthest right hand charging tower or handicap space to avoid taking up 2 chargers/stalls.
Would love to back into the Tesla charger location even with the spare tire on the...
Agree about the EV dominating aspect of the Scout but the gas ER generator is important for those that need to tow or go long distance between chargers.
I don't have range anxiety having driven EVs for over 6 years (PHEV & BEV).
Daily driving, it's all EV - much cheaper than using fuel...
Ford's F150 Lightning EV rollout was a disastrous cluster.....
Those that got in early reservations did not get theirs when Ford started shipping.
Some were pushed back to the next year model.
OTOH, I was late to that party and reserved a month later but was one of the first to get an June...
