I think one thing Scout has going for it is VW and Rivian joint venture. Rivian has one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings of all EVs and have brought some unique design elements to the EV market with industry leading software. Combine that with VW cash and manufacting expertise, it has a lot of potential to be good.

You can already see some of this it the preroduction models. I hope they are finished with a little more rugged appearance, but they are on the right track so far.

I'm just really happy they will be made in the USA.

Agreed.

I actually appreciate the gas extender concept as well (the irony isn’t lost on me though too ) but hear me out!

It opens up more possibilities to meet real world use cases where EV almost meets the need - this would be a great option for my wife, daily driving the electric motor meets 100% of her needs until she goes to visit our daughter in college a few hours away. This option opens the door by surpassing the EV only range and not having to find a charging solution while she’s visiting. She can visit and make it back without having to screw with charging and take away from her visit.

I think everyone is going back to hybrids now. It just cost billions of $$$ to play along with the libtard bullshit that was being pushed.

Yeah, anyone with a brain and minimal activity in that brain could see the “all electric by…” was a crock of BS.

I want one. Saw some pics of a configuration with bench seat, no console. Just need a single cab configuration with beer window in the back. Would be good times for sure
