I was never a believer in a 27 launch lol, but I figured late 28 maybe.

But, for me, I'm out, looks like in the next year there will be plenty of trucks I can grab in my price range, no need to wait years.

ooh. no. no. no.

Why make Happy Friday a Sad Friday... Well Boys we all moved up in the production line unless you're already #1 in line. I don't know if were supposed to thank you for your sacrifice? or to be sad to know that there are people dropping orders?

I hope everyone gets what they want and if they need something sooner, great. We will have to do what works best for us. However, Scott and the team at SM have never given me reason to doubt them so I’m still counting on a 2027 launch. Good luck to you!

No, Rivian is too much for me, and too small, but as Ram, Chevy, Ford, drop prices, I can probably get into a new truck in the next 18 months for under 60k and that's all that's really important to me.

I would probably choose Chevy out of those three but boy they seem to be having issues. Maybe the 2025s are better

This Brilliant Dodge Charger Daytona Feature Should Be On Every EV

When you turn the Charger off, a screen appears on the main driver-facing dashboard that not only tells you how much charge you have left, but how long it would take to charge to 100%—if that's where your charging limit is set. Not only that, it tells you approximately how long that would take on each plug type

It turns out the Charger isn't the only Stellantis EV to do this. The Jeep Wagoneer S, which shares the STLA Large platform with this car, apparently does the same thing when it's parked.

My Hyundai Ioniq 5 does this and so did my old ghetto-sled Leaf.

12/31/27 is still 2027! Hope it’s not quite that late. Though depending on timing if they are using the PowerCo batteries and timing is pretty close to operational plant in Canadia I’d be willing to wait a few months longer if it meant the BEV could extend to 400 miles or battery pack price comes down and I can save a few grand. Or I should say re-allocate funds for other Scout necessities

Totally agree. Love to see the BEV go to 420. That's a good number in my book

How do we know if Scout will be using PowerCo. With (insert word) Scout might decide to use Panasonic or LG Chem. LG might be a high chance considering that Rivian is going to use them in R2. And it’s possible that Scouts Zonal Architecture and OS is optimized for them LG at the moment until PowerCo is running at production speed.


12/31/27 is too late, if they start 1 minute too late then the model years will be screwed up.

Of the companies you mentioned who have the best chance to build a battery that will provide 420 mile range?

Lucid is using Panasonic and they achieved 450 EPA range which mean nothing but still. So Panasonic can do it, obviously remember that we have to remove a percentage for the drag Efficiency, tires, and weight.

Panasonic's new EV batteries give Lucid Gravity a 450-mile range

The Lucid Gravity SUV, powered by Panasonic's revolutionary battery technology, achieves an unprecedented 450-mile range, setting a new standard for electric vehicles.

I do worry and no one knows how tariffs will work

Everyone needs to be open minded on it. Which it seems that nobody is. Its a game i like to call watch and see.

We had an Xterra. Great car. I keep saying they need to bring it back.

I loved my XTerra and was supremely disappointed when they stopped production

This feature is on my '23 Sportage PHEV

 

[MasterSpam]

I'll make my decision on whether to keep my reservation to mid '26. The extended range battery (though still a rumor) RAV4 PHEV should be fairly availible by then.
