Why just limit this to EVs? Yes, that’s a rhetorical question, too many in government have been bought by the legacy auto makers.

Makes sense, if EVs are better, people will buy them. No reason at all for bans, bans just solidify opposition. Keep the .govs finger off the scale and let the market figure it out.

My thoughts exactly. Those thinking we're going to have some universal, easily "hot swappable" battery are not understanding the American car market.

Is there an industry standard for automotive battery packs? If there isn't a current standard it seems hopeful that one will be developed and implemented in the next 2 years. Heck, we've had 12v batteries in cars for a hundred years and pretty much every vehicle uses a different darn group...

If only Scout would give us any information.......... Last email I got said that they were running some cars on the line to validate processes. Seems like the horse may have left the barn to incorporate anything earth shattering.

Your TDS is showing. Here’s a scout commercial from 1968, explain how they were marketing the car back then please. And another The marketing of American cars hasn’t changed since the advent of American cars. President Trump had nothing to do with it, LOL.

Yup, an EV would meet 80% of my needs, my ICE car meets 100%, why would I switch?

You're not getting the point, in America, people don't buy on what they need, they buy on the dream of doing "X" someday with the vehicle. And in this segment, "X" is multi-day trips out into the backcountry fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking in all the places where charges aren't located...

Go to this website and tell me who they are marketing this vehicle to. https://www.scoutmotors.com

In America we buy vehicles based on thoughts, hopes, dreams and prayers, NOT what we actually NEED the vehicle for. If we bought like that and manufactures sold what we "needed" there would only be 2 door Civics on the road. Show me a Scout add where the car is just driving around the city...

So here’s who Scout is marketing to: EV only people don’t want it as better battery and charging speed will be out and they’ll be buying a dinosaur. EREV people don’t want it cause it will add weight, complexity, and reduce towing. Just add a “portable” 300 pound generator that I store at...

This pet mode thing has me intrigued, we've owned dogs for about 30 years, we've never left them in a car (kids either). Do people with EV's routinely leave their animals in parked cars? What's different if I leave my pet in a car with the engine running vs. leaving it in an EV in "pet mode"...

Unfortunately at this point I think it's knee jerk reaction to market forces and they're backed into a corner with no way out. I fear that by launch this thing is going to be a cobbled together mess.

No, but at some point close to when it comes time to convert reservations to orders there will be some sort of order guide that will come out. Once that happens you will be able to go to your dealer, or on-line, depending on what happens with all the lawsuits, and place your actual order. A...

My guess is that they will first build the most expensive ones to fill ORDERS. From current RESERVATION stats that will be EREV Travelers. BUT who knows what people will actually do when it comes time to convert their reservation to an order..........

Got mine yesterday.

Because in the US we like the thought our cars doing anything. I may get a camper, I may get a boat, I may take that once in a lifetime off road adventure through Colorado and Utah, I may have 4 kids and 3 grandkids and take them all on a cross country road trip, I may need to take 4 co-workers...

So in a nutshell the .gov got involved and it all went to 💩 So they knew it was going to be filled in but they did it too soon so they shut everything down for five months just to prove they were in charge. After five months they said, “Sure go ahead and fill it in because as we all know that...

I’m not here to defend Scout but they’re in kind of a tough spot. How long does it take to build an auto factory from the ground up? They couldn’t really just announce building a new factory and not announce a vehicle. When will the factory be ready to have the first vehicle roll off, couple...
