EREV initial release only?

[Gottesacker]

By way of a pure BEV truck comparison, my R1T has a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs and puts out 908 lb feet of torque. Pure BEV Terra will be a beast (even with 2 motors).

Range on towing is the other big consideration, BUT if the Harvester really couldn’t get above 5k then the compromise on range for the BEV would be preferred. If the EREV can do the full projected 10k, then that’s probably the one for me due to bigger range.

"Making vehicles for other brands is "an absolute possibility"

Scuttlebutt is that it's an Audi luxury 4x4 to compete with the G-Wagon.

They’ve been suggesting that for over two years

I’ve wasted $100 before way faster, and on worse things, than that deposit I made

Ironically, $100 gets wasted the fastest in $1 increments.

Did you happen to watch Scott's interview on Bloomberg the other day? They asked him about the EREV versus BEV.

Thanks for that post! I hadn't seen that...

And they absolutely should. The G-Wagon is a money printer for Daimler and VAG has enough knowhow to build a competent product in the same segment with Scout's platform (or a modified version of it) being ideal.

talked with a Gm at a Mercedes dealership ,and was told the Gwagon is the worst buy ever, terrible ride, terrible engine,terible handling, terrible all around,a status symbol with zero capability, he would never get one even though they give him any car to drive....

To say that a G-Wagon has zero capability is simply not true. At least for off-road use. It has triple lockers and is pretty solid for a stock vehicle. I get not wanting to drive one daily but I wouldn't turn one down if given one to drive. Then again my daily is a 2004 Montero...with character.

They need to bring the Montero back.

Sounds like the kind of guy who doesn't like Apple Jacks because they don't taste like apples. Doesn't matter what he thinks, people buy what they like and those things are hot sellers often going for above MSRP.
