Same. I mean everyone has different taste, but it just doesn’t go with their vibe.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
"EX60 might not have a design to current Volvos liking. I heard it will raise some eyebrows and maybe not in a good way. It is more a large EX30 than an electric XC60... will EX60 be the naive unsophisticated digital car with no buttons like the EX90... It sounds like it."
Saw a post that Jeep just canceled their plug in hybrid line, citing changes in demand and fire risk. Kind of trying to poison the well - don't buy an EV or your house might burn down. Build up public fear of fires, and that could set EV's back a long time. Push the narrative hard enough, they could become uninsurable - maybe even make your home uninsurable. Or in reality - just don't buy a Jeep EV...
The Wrangler only got like 26 miles of EV range. It seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth.
UUUUGGGGLLLY!This is an interesting off-road vehicle. Luxury off-road vehicle seems to be an oxymoron.

Wow! A lot of good coming out of this. Fasten your seatbelts.
Volvo's new 400-mile EX60 is a specs monster
Volvo is drip-dropping specs for its new EX60, and they are already showing it as the fastest-charging and longest-range Volvo...
Volvo has separately stated it'll have price parity with it's XC60 PHEV due to major cost reductions via Geely meaning you're looking at base MSRP in the low $60K range. Not sure if the 400mi range is included on the base model, however I would expect base model range to at least start with a 3 which is really where the industry is headed anyway. Hopefully base Scouts have range figures that start with a 3 as well.
- 400mi range on EPA cycle!
- EX60 can add up to 168 miles of range in just 10 minutes on an 800V, 400kW charger
This is the top of my "I'll lease this as a precursor to the Scout if I find myself needing a new vehicle" list
Interesting comment and before I reply I'm going to have a look at the EX30 and EX90 interiors below...
EX30 interior
EX90 interior
Not sure why the interior of the EX60 would be anything other than a middle ground split between the two. In other words, nobody should be surprised here. That said, I'm not a fan of the comically large iPhone glued to the dash look and hate portrait mode screens in cars but it doesn't matter, China is Volvo's largest market and this is the kind of stuff they prefer.
I posted earlier in the week but we recently drove the current year XC90 and the interior is similar but the ipad is much smaller and there are still some physical buttons. (this is the mild-hybrid so not the EX EV so it's not a 1:1)
Why latent errors in systems are so dangerous...
If the systems engineering had included a process for double-checking that the labeling doesn’t cause problems with electrical connections, the MV Dali might not have crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge. Humans make mistakes. Systems engineering is supposed to design for catching those mistakes.
Here’s a long video going into how the NTSB discovered the first-order cause of the ship’s failure.

Wow! This is fabulous. No chance of that happening in my state. Any other states that might follow suite?
