    Scout has 160K Reservations (87% Harvester EREV Hybrid). CEO says first delivery in 2028

    The whole charging infrastructure thing may be a moot point. Seems like manufacturers are just adding gas engines in the their EV's and pivoting from plug-in hybrids to hybrids. True EV enthusiasts have homes with charging capability and seem to stay on major thoroughfares when traveling so...

    Jalopnik - Scout Terra Pickup Reportedly Won't Go Into Production Until March 2030, And The Traveler SUV Is Delayed Until September 2028

    I've been waiting for a long time for GM to offer something like this. Makes no sense they haven't as they have the Colorado/ Canyon chassis.

    Scout has 160K Reservations (87% Harvester EREV Hybrid). CEO says first delivery in 2028

    I'm having an issue with buying solar panels and battery big enough to matter but then I get to charge my car for "free". My neighbor put up panels and I think he said he has a 25 year note on them.

    Will class action lawsuits affect price and customer experience?

    I believe a look at corporate tax rates may shed some light on the question.

    Scout has 160K Reservations (87% Harvester EREV Hybrid). CEO says first delivery in 2028

    Makes sense, this seems like the only way you're going to get charging out there to equal filling stations. Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, CVS, McDonalds, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, etc. If they all got on the ball and installed chargers you may be able to start making a case that you...

    VW deal w Xpeng in China

    My girls, 33 and 37, are pretty much the same. I love my Bronco as it has a nice screen and it connects to my phone if I want it to but that's about it. All the radio and climate controls are via actual buttons, same with my Grand Cherokee (except for the heated seats and steering wheel...

    VW deal w Xpeng in China

    From the article: "In particular, Chinese buyers have a taste for what are often called “software-defined vehicles.” They are connected and updatable, and essentially allow drivers to do everything through a car they would do through a phone." “The Chinese vehicle owner can do his banking using...

    Scout Has Solution to Harvester Range-Extending Gas Engine Cutting Tow Capacity in Half, says CEO

    Fixed it for you, In that case your towing audience is MUCH larger. If you're spending $70K plus on a truck it better be able to do truck things even if you never plan on doing those things. In 10 years and 60K miles I've had passengers in the back of my Grand Cherokee maybe 4 times. Should I...

    New Video: The Sound of Scout (creating the sounds of Scout vehicles)

    God, I pray there's button to turn all that BS off. Can these people just focus on getting a car out there? Now I know why they're billions over budget.

    Article: VW Doubles Down On Combustion Engines As Scout Costs Spiral Into The Billions

    It’s funny as my youngest SIL, 30 years old, saw the Scout poster SWAG I got and he was like what on earth is that? He had never heard of Scout. He LOVES the looks of it. Then I told him it was EV or EREV, hard pass from him on that. It took me 5 min to explain what an EREV was. He drives a...

    Article: VW Doubles Down On Combustion Engines As Scout Costs Spiral Into The Billions

    Throw in a V6 or turbo 4 and watch the reservations go to the moon. The market is speaking, they should listen.

    Scout has 160K Reservations (87% Harvester EREV Hybrid). CEO says first delivery in 2028

    Definitely turbulent times to say the least. RAM dropped it's full EV pickup and is bringing back V8's for pretty much everything, Ford dropped the Lightning, Lamborghini dropped it's EV plans, Honda and Toyota seem to be all in on hybrids. Lots of moving pieces out there. I'd like to see...

    Scout Launch Delayed Until 2028 Summer: Report

    Yes, I think the technology will be better, but will Scout be able to pivot from what they are designing today to integrate the new tech? At some point the tech needs to be "bolted down" so to speak. These cars need to be crash tested and certified probably 1-2 years before production. So...

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    LOl, yea, after living through Bronco hell, this piece of paper was a bit disappointing. Don't forget the playing cards we also got.

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    This is Fords marketing problem. What you're seeing in China is a Bronco in name only. They did Bronco and Bronco Sport in the US which confused the crap out of everybody, now they have a "Bronco" in China too. Bronco is a body on frame, solid rear axle, transfer case w/low range, available...

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    That’s all AI non-sense. ‘26 Broncos are currently out and on sale now. I’m talking about Bronco, not Bronco Sport or any other China non-Bronco Bronco.

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    Got my SWAG in yesterday’s mail. Told my granddaughter she’ll probably have her DL before we get an actual car.
