Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

Not sure if this has already been shared but looks like there been a decision on prioritization made. I’ve always been team EV but now wondering how much extra time I’ll have to wait for that. While committing to a target of 2028 for EREV, there’s not even a bother to mention if the EV model will happen in the year…

This says even less than what I thought was being reported. It did not even say that the EREV will delivered before the EV - just that the EREV deliveries are not expected to be delayed significantly.

Hard to say what they are actually planning on production lines. They could easily be focusing on getting one line up and running, with planned parallel additions as they ramp up capacity. Given these are mostly common platform - a single line might get production started quickest, with dedicated lines added as demand mix is more concrete. Getting all models on the road will firm up demand rates.

I heard theres a point in the course where you jump over 77. They call it the battery impact test with live participants.

It is on the north end of the property and grading just started in the last month. You can see "Scout Mountain" above upper-right. It is about 60ft tall.

I Think scout might be using two lines in total. One for Terra and one for Traveler. Unless they are using one line for both. But i know uncle scotty said that because its a very slight change from erev to ev that they would both be installed on one line.

It is one assembly line for both vehicles. The assembly line carriers have the ability to adapt to different sizes of vehicles on the same line. EREV and BEV are the same vehicle platform, one with the engine bits and one without.

Oh whatever. I’m so sick of these dealers. They need to go away.

I agree. It's ridiculous. I just watched this. Scout is mentioned in the first 2.30. Yes, they need to go away.

I refuse to even watch any videos or read anything mentioning this ridiculous law suit!

I find the whole direct-to-consumer thing rather amusing in a sick way. Musk really pushed for direct-to-consumer to ditch the dealer model, meanwhile he's employing dealer pricing tactics on a scale that makes dealer lobbying groups jealous. I've frankly got some really good dealers near me, and I enjoy haggling for the best price instead of the one-price for everyone model. I'd much prefer a local dealership experience, but Rivian might've soured me on the service end of this DTC model. I don't expect Scout to do much better, being a new brand, with me not living in one of the largest metro areas.

Hey @Jamie@ScoutMotors do you know if a recording or any material of Scott’s fireside chat for the Automotive Press Association event yesterday will become available? Was curious to hear his direct commentary on some of the topics being discussed on the forum recently.

A little info, but I'd love to hear the whole thing.

I like that he’s still talking about a price in the $60s. He’s saying a little higher at $65. That I can still totally do.
