'Electrall' absolutely needs to part of the branding portfolio. Hopefully its locked up already.
Meanwhile, my box on the board says EREV production mid-2028 for MY29, then BEV production mid-2029 for MY30.
Scout delayed??

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.

OK so now we know we don’t know anything. I come here to SM to avoid anxiety about our country going to hell in a hand basket and now the same thing is happening here. Let’s find positive stuff to talk about. WHOOOOO-SAAAAAAA!
@cyure bring up something about PBY-don’t care what-let’s just kill this topic and move on, it takes the joy out of coming to the forum

I tried by posting how I’m framing my gift but if you want more PBY content let me work on that!
I agree. News bad! Forum good! Come on guys let’s rally and end the day with positive thoughts!
Folks there's nothing wrong with realistic speculation. If anything, I find ever-hopeful cope more annoying than the most dastardly trolls (like that writer in SC that got fired from the last real job he'll ever have).
Now I had to look to check myself. I joined Nov 16, 2022
Go over to the gift threads. A lot of people have already posted pictures, and they look really cool.
Been there. Andd mine hasn’t come yet so then I just get annoyed and more impatientGo over to the gift threads. A lot of people have already posted pictures, and they look really cool.
Still! Oh geez.Been there. Andd mine hasn’t come yet so then I just get annoyed and more impatient
same except I'm avoiding those threads until mine gets hereBeen there. Andd mine hasn’t come yet so then I just get annoyed and more impatient
“Good things come to those who wait” And “save the best for last”
Or something like that. Maybe mine is being delivered inside a scout 
The current EV products are superior in many ways. What’s unconscionable is the propaganda the oil companies put out denigrating them. Show me an anti EV campaign and I will show you the money trail leading back to big oil.
Sadly SO true. And nearly everyone who owns an EV says they’ll never go back but that’s how propaganda works. Excessively spending filed under Marketing.
Oh, it leads a few directions. Legacy western auto manufacturers are also probably fueling it - as they are behind the curve on EV's. Dealer's really don't want EV's either, presumably less revenue on repairs and maintenance.
Not only dealerships, but around my small city there are so many businesses supported by ICE vehicles... gas stations, auto parts stores, oil change shops, muffler shops, radiator shops, transmission shops. And larger manufacturers...Borg-Warner, US Engine Valve. There are some that will crossover to EVs...tire shops, custom wheels, body shops, car washes, etc. However, many of those listed above are in multiples within a small radius. Obviously, it is big business no matter where you are. Imagine, if somehow, ICE vehicles just disappeared instantaneously. What would your hometown businesses look like?
I routinely deal with 2 auto shops - both have told me they will not work on an EV. That said, for the most part they don't even want to touch my VW Golf TDI - apparently there is a old wives tail that it will kill their diagnostic computers. I have not talked with the local tire shop yet. They work on virtually anything with tires (I even saw someone bring in a bicycle) - so I am hopeful. I have seen them regularly work on ATV's, SxS's. trailers - even heavy equipment.
Right, but imagine what happened when people stopped riding on horseback to the saloon. They didn't just disappear all at once, and a lot of other new businesses popped up.
I don't think I've ever seen data on this kind of thing, but I wonder if the number of horses employed for transportation was higher, even or lower than the number of vehicles we have per capita today. Like, we've had discussions on this forum about how a 'new car' is starting to get beyond the means of an average American. Of course, used cars exist and you can probably find one that will get you from A to B for only a few thousand dollars. But, how much would it have cost an 1926 family to have a horse and use it for transportation. If the Model T is the first real mass produced vehicle in 1908, then 18 years is a relatively short period. Of course, when it comes to EVs, they've actually be around since the 1900s. I think Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote about how President Taft used to like riding around in an old EV. But, maybe we should use the release of the Model S in 2012 as the modern era of EVs... we're only 14 years into that transition and we've still got a long way to go before the percentage of even new EV sales per year becomes substantial. What I wonder about is how much faster this transition is happening in countries like Norway and China... and if the great manufacturing power of China is behind it, how much sooner the world will be shifting to EVs than it took for the world to go from horse to bike to car.
