Which is an interesting choice. I rarely use the friction brakes on my Silverado. The regen setting I have it on is strong enough to bring it to a full stop in a reasonable distance in most cases. And when I need to stop quickly, the blended braking is quite effective. I haven’t had to emergency brake, especially not while towing, so I don’t know their performance in that case. But in general, upgrading brakes on an EV is a cost I couldn’t reasonably justify.Brembo Boldika Is Its Most Powerful Brake Caliper Yet

It's remarkable isn't it?never thought I'd see the day where people were complaining about a car company showing off too many cool features.
The only thing better than that would be Scout orange!But Space they are red! Red!!
Did someone say orange Brembos?? I cooked the stock clearcoat off the red, then they faded into a pinkish color, so they got stripped and powdercoated orange! Mid-install, rear calipers:The only thing better than that would be Scout orange!
I've seen this "complaint" a lot. Scout is currently showing us what you can do with options and specs, not what you have to buy. Eventually you'll be able to buy the base model, but I'd be surprised if that were at launch.never thought I'd see the day where people were complaining about a car company showing off too many cool features.
I'm really curious how many of these types of comments are from bought bots vs real people. Same question I have with most of the internet nowadays...never thought I'd see the day where people were complaining about a car company showing off too many cool features.
Looks great!Did someone say orange Brembos?? I cooked the stock clearcoat off the red, then they faded into a pinkish color, so they got stripped and powdercoated orange! Mid-install, rear calipers:

Never ceases to amaze me.never thought I'd see the day where people were complaining about a car company showing off too many cool features.
Interesting concept and feasible. I’d be concerned about potential galvanic reactions long term but like the idea of thisHyundai’s Solution to Awkward Hard-Top Assembly? Magnets
