Did you want a used Hyundai with your next Amazon order? You might need a bigger cart. You can now...

People are giving Tesla too much room to play around. We should start shrinking Teslas power. So what that they were the first major EV manufacturer. Grow a pair and let competition in.

Absolutely, both much better choices, if you are looking for something in that high of a price range.

I agree but I think the ‘I feel you’ is much more media based and intended for those wanting social media on wheels. I certainly don’t and will be curious how many tech moguls and social media influencers jump at it. Not expecting tons but hey-I see cyber trucks all over and they are butt ugly-at least the Honda/Sony mobile is pleasant and neutral to the eyes

Go get’m tiger. Maybe the big 3 EVs along with Lucid and the other start ups can just bury the state/federal courts with lawsuits and force SCADA to start bleeding money defending them all. Then when their pockets aren’t as deep the EV companies can get a word in edgewise and force some change

Relax lol. Because we all know by the comments on the Scout instagram comments that people say the same things about scout.

"looks like a rivian"
"Throw a v8 or i6 in it"
"This isn't a scout"
"My scout ii was the most manly suv, not this thing is ugly and look like theres no effort in it"


Pretty much a summerized version of comments on Scout Motors instagram page. I pretty sure people are just jealous of how nice the new Scouts look.

I think it’s people too afraid to tell their friends they are buying an EV. This may end up being one of the best SUV’s ever built at a great price and many will miss out simply due to the fear of bruising their own egos

There is some truth to this.

I expect a lot of people I used to wheel with in Toyotas are going to think I lost my mind by buying an EV.

Thats why harvester is an option. But to me it's still an EV, but just built with a built in generator.

I have friends that think I'm crazy for reserving the harvester alone.

A law that went into effect back in July of 2023 here in Florida was considered a direct threat to Tesla, which sells its cars online and through retail locations. However, lobbyists and lawmakers were able to work out a deal that allows new electric vehicle companies like Tesla, Rivian and Lucid to "hold a franchise dealer license for direct sales of EVs if they are not otherwise prohibited under federal law.” This sounds good. But that last statement I quoted from the now passed law seems troublesome.

Exactly. But if it goes as we think the joke will be on them in a lot of ways

Lots of people worry about what other people "think" (BUT the other people aren't really thinking people at all, and have no clear or original thoughts) LOL.

It’s just a little different when you were “The Toyota Guy” for over a decade. I was the president of the local club and organized local events. Wheeling trips, wrench days, volunteering at the Jamboree. Etc.

It was a big part of my life for a while and I made a lot of good friends through that hobby.

There is no doubt I am going to get some grief, but people that know me are going to have a hard time believing what they are seeing

We can get you a "widdle wadder" for your Scout.

Does it make it any easier knowing that Toyota screwed themselves by bowing down to the O&G lobby in Japan, and basically giving up on innovation?

Amen. I’ve followed the sage advice of Charlie Puth-love me or hate me that’s just the way I am. . I do me, other should do them and if it doesn’t directly impact I don’t care what others do. I care about people’s actions-not what they think, though I guess the two do interact and cross paths
