Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

[cyure]

I wasn’t looking at this like the Rodeo. I think that would be an after purchase event and agree SM needs to do something like that as well as the factory delivery experience. My idea was a Try before you buy since experience centers will be limited around the U.S. if someone owns a tent they could all set up at primitive camp site or find campgrounds with the all included mini micro cabins. This wouldn’t be a full blown off road experience but rather a test ride experience on steroids compared to what a typical dealership would offer. As I noted each guest would get like a 20-25 minute ride demo with 8 guests that’s like 4 hours of a day then while you make new friends at the campsite you could crawl around in it more or take turns demoing the various buttons, UX, and features that don’t require it to be mobile. They could have the back of the vehicle loaded with portable paint color panels and fabrics and hides you could actually touch. Then since there are outlets and satellite connectivity they could have a large monitor that you could configure your builds right there at the campsite. The $75-$100 would be to cover the SM employees time and food at the evening campfire meal. Employee already gets paid by SM so this is fun money for giving up a Saturday evening once a month, offering a great experience and hoping every guest buys one on the spot or within a week or two after and then those guests go tell their friends for more sales opportunities.

I like that idea.

I have a question for Rivian owners. @R1TVT I’m not sure how long you have had yours but did any Rivian owners order their vehicle and pick their options etc without having test driven?

It would be fantastic to have a showing/test/consulation office in Albuquerque but I'll lilely have to travel to Denver (6.5 hrs) for Tucson (6.5hrs) or Pheonix (7.5 hrs) but In the end, I'll be OK with that if Albuquerque doesn't rate one.

Come on Chicago. That’s 2 hours from me.

I’m pretty sure I remember Jamie saying he lives near Chicago so I’m guessing you’ll get one

Okay, so based on these slides there will be only two Scout locations in Canada in 2028 and a total of 5 the next year. I'm assuming that means probably Vancouver and either Toronto or Montreal for the first two (please be Montreal!) but that also means I won't see my Scout until 2028 at the earliest.

Cool.

I am sure this could change depending on how many Canadians reserve/purchase Scouts.

They talk a lot about using data to shift with trends.

If the Traveler sells well, I would recommend a Travelall (Harvester) with options of 3 rows of seats and barn doors. I used to own a 1973 Travelall with a third row and barn doors. Loved that truck!

Scott has mentioned in some of the videos that the 3 row will most likely be the next model. Now who knows when that will be but it’s on their radar.

Agreed. 3 row Travelall should be the next model.
