I especially like this part in the article.

"The first major maintenance interval for either of Ford's EVs is at 200,000 miles, and even then, there’s not much to do. Many owners may not bring in their EV for its first major service for over a decade after purchase.."

Yep.

The Lightning is a bit more aggressive on maintenance. 150,000 miles we have to change the lubricating fluid in the motors. And at 200,000 miles, we have to change the coolant.

Everything else is basic and diy if you have even an modicum of automotive skill.

Well doesn’t look like the Grenadiers are flying off the shelves. There’s 50 brand new 2024s at the dealer near me.

It’s a >$70k gas vehicle without a reliability track record. Who wants that?

When they release a BEV version, we’ll look.

They had plans for one and then shelved it.

They have so many 2024s they are starting to discount them big time. The dealer by us they have stated taking $10k off the 24s.

Scout: America's Charging Infrastructure Helped Demand For Terra, Traveler EREVs

Scout's EVs got a gasoline range extender late in the game, and now they're more popular than solely electric models.

I don't care for the way that article started out. "Scout, the Volkswagen-owned electric carmaker" I am pretty sure this is NOT true.
Scout is an independent brand, with its own ownership structure that’s not affiliated with Volkswagen.

Haha, journalists just want clicks they can give two shs, about if the information is correct that they are giving.

I fear that is the Titanic and there appears to be an ice cube up ahead for Ineos.

It bugs me too that every article talks about poor charging and broken down/disrepair chargers. These writers must all drive the exact same routes as it doesn’t seem to be that way. I see more and more around me and they all appear to function fine. Get off the horse and beat something else for a change. The negative connotations certainly don’t help people’s mindsets

They messed up once they decided to keep the Diesels in Europe, and when they decided to go with BMW engines. Ineos is a huge gas company in Europe but yet they can’t develop their own engines. They failed, at their mission. Which interestingly enough, the reason the Grenadier was made, is because the Ineos CEO loved the Old Landrovers, and wanted to build one for the modern day for him self.

Seems more cocky(excuse my French) than old Elon, with the cybertruck that ultimately fail due to Teslas consistent lying.

Excuse me but their BMW drivetrain is highly reliable and maintenance on them is dirt cheap.

I also drank moonshine with LSD in it earlier so theres also that.

Until I can buy shares, its a VW owned business as far as I am concerned.
