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

I think it depends on timing and what the used market looks like in my area, but have been eyeing up a Volvo C40 or possibly an Ioniq. I'd jump on a F150 if I could convince my wife lol.

Edit: forgot the ID4

I love my used Lightning I bought in September, but now with gas prices spiking, I'm even more glad I bought it when I did.

Maybe too long of a roadtrip for you, but I can't say enough good things about the dealer where I got my Lightning, Greenwave Electric Vehicles. Their main location is in NH and they just opened a new location in Salem, MA. They are unlike any dealer you've ever been to. They are the antithesis of the stereotypical sleazy, rip-off artist car dealer. They don't work on commission so as not to encourage bad behavior. If you call, ask for Jesse Lore, the owner. He is a really great guy.

Rare to have someone complimenting a dealer-and a used one at that. Glad you had a great experience

This is why you can’t trust articles. They wrote “87% of reservations are for the Terra harvester. So when you start quoting articles on the internet realize they typically aren’t fully accurate.

I’m tempted in part because they won’t have the self-drive.

It increases resale value, so that is where my head is at.

I wanted to wait out my new vehicle purchase for the Scout Traveler BEV, however I had several factors that influenced me to purchasing a new ride.
1. My daily driver was getting 13-15 MPG (2001 Toyota Sequoia)
2. Daily driver - 2001 Toyota Sequoia (4.7L) with about 200K miles good for another 200K but maintenance items more frequent
3. Needed to semi-retire the Sequoia as it is my "work horse" like my '79 Scout (fully retired) was
4. I'm not getting younger and will easily be 70 before my new Scout is ready to pick up
5. After renting a BEV while on vacation last year, several things about ICE vehicles became "irritations"
6. From the valuable information provided by @SpaceEVDriver and other EV owners in this community, I had been studying available BEVs
7. I was playing online car quotes with no immediate intent to purchase
8. As gas prices started to rise and my Sequoia throttle sensor failed, it was a sign
9. The anticipation of owning a BEV and learning more about what I wanted my Scout to be, it got the best of me

I can say that, so far, my new BEV has met and exceeded my expectations.

Hey this is transportation and everyone has to do what works for them and their budgets. What’s did you get?

2026 Ioniq 5 XRT. It's kinda their "off-road SUV". Having a Scout, I would say it's neither an off-road nor a SUV, but it's still a fun little vehicle with lots of features and roomy interior for its size.

That's such a fun vehicle!

More people looking at EVs, and meanwhile Honda is cancelling their plans and writing off big losses.

seems to be the latest trend in the industry by Legacy Auto. some legacy manufacturers just can't learn to build the tech.

Honda never believed in the immediate transition to EV anyway, so I'm surprised they're writing down so much loss on this.

Honda was more invested than you think. From Automotive News:

"Honda was caught out more than most its Japanese competitors because it was the most aggressive in buying into an EV future, plowing billions into EV production hubs in the U.S. and Canada. It was the only Japanese carmaker to set a timeline for phasing out internal combustion, by 2040, even though full electrics make up less than 2 percent of Japan’s domestic market."

Another Ioniq 5 owner here. I hope you enjoy your Ioniq 5 as much as I enjoy mine.

Hope Scout lawyers jump on that one fast and get themselves added to the bill.

Welcome to the club! The XRT is pretty cool.

I got my EV in September. And while I wouldn't "wish" high gas prices on anyone/anywhere like this, the fact that its making the Ioniq 9 a better purchase (by making the competing gas/hybrid vehicles we were considering instead have a higher cost of ownership), doesn't hurt anything.

 

[Chuckles]

Hope Scout lawyers jump on that one fast and get themselves added to the bill.

Doubtful:"The bill also blocks potential workarounds. Established automakers cannot create subsidiaries to sell directly, preventing legacy brands from bypassing dealer franchise laws. The U.S.-only requirement would also exclude Chinese EV makers if they eventually enter the American market."

Currently watching this with interest.

Scout needs to bust that visualizer out soon, or I’m gonna act up.
