Analog Scout?

[jay.kolkman]

I don't know if this would be feasible, but I think the following would be extremely popular...

Scout Model A (Analog)

• 100% Analog - no computer chips
• Gas or Electric if possible
• Gas model has a modern carburetor instead of fuel injection
• Traditional Gauges
• Easily repaired without computer diagnostic equipment
• Independent from electronic supply chain issues
• Impossible to hack into electronically
• Impervious to an EM disturbances

I would love a completely rubbered or quality plastic interior floor or a system that can snap in and cover the carpet. kids are gross and it get stuff beyond the floor matt area.

I respectfully disagree about the basic truck, I’m in it for the bells and whistles, but do agree with you about flooring. I hate carpet in my house and I’m not too fond of it in cars either. Ineos is also a chemical company and the plastic floor in the Grenadier is an Ineos made product. It was really cool and would be easy to clean and it was a fun color the one I saw. Not just black. If there was an option like that for the Scout that would be great. Also the Grenadier has a rail system option on the floor in the back that you can hook things too. That would be fun and allow for more accessories that could be attached to the actual interior of the vehicle. First aid kit. Storage, etc.

Agree to disagree. I think there are a lot of people out there that are just plane priced out of the EV market because they are only top tier luxury versions of what ever car that has been made electric. An F150 lightening is what 20k (?) more than the equivalent IC. regardless, i hope i either get rich or they come down in price.

Most of the advanced features are software, and while the R&D was expensive, the production costs are negligible, stripping them out doesn't meaningfully reduce production costs.

So the only way to really take production costs out of EVs, is to cut the Battery down.

Since range is critical to most people, this means we are stuck with higher priced EVs, especially for big inefficient vehicles like full size pickup trucks, that need relatively massive batteries for the range.

If people want more affordable EV's in the near term, they have to downsize to where vehicles are more efficient, and can get away with much smaller batteries.

Ford is reportedly developing an EV Maverick, which would have a much smaller battery and thus much lower price vs the F150 Lightning.

This has to be click bait. Scout is returning as an Ev and you want it with no radio or speakers? Resto mod an old one. What is it you like about the new one?

Actually, given how rapidly EVs depreciate - lightly used EVs offer excellent value. You can get a sub 30,000 mile AWD Mach-E Premium for less than 30k. That's a lot of car for that price - and no new ICE car upto 40k will match it in features and acceleration.

I don't know if this would be feasible, but I think the following would be extremely popular...

Scout Model A (Analog)

• 100% Analog - no computer chips
• Gas or Electric if possible
• Gas model has a modern carburetor instead of fuel injection
• Traditional Gauges
• Easily repaired without computer diagnostic equipment
• Independent from electronic supply chain issues
• Impossible to hack into electronically
• Impervious to an EM disturbances

I like a lot of your thoughts on this, I would love to see scout make a "Ranch Model" with nothing fancy, bare minimum electronics, still electric, they could be road legal but really intended for use on Farms and Ranches or Off roading. One thing that gets me with Tesla is the over focus on complexity, why does my car need to drive itself? I understand people wanting that but lets make that an add on lol. anyways kinda getting away from your post sorry.
