By and large correct.

The fleet of testing mules thus far uses whatever sheet metal remotely fits on our chassis - which isn't much from the VW group.

Since we only started stamping Scout sheet metal recently, the existing test mules are all ugly-looking test beds that won't look like a Scout Traveler or Terra. The next batch of test vehicles will start to use Scout sheet metal and look more like the concepts (albeit with camouflage on them).

That makes me really glad I changed my personalized plate.

Both my kids have Hyundais and the dealer near us is actually pretty decent. They don’t add a bunch of stuff to the cars that you don’t want and when they do a dealer markup it’s $1,000. Could be worse.

I know, it’s the Throttle House guys right. I like those two.

Throttle House guys are taking over The Grand Tour. Top Gear is also coming back. Easy mistake.

Hyundai is charging $255 for the small screen in front of the driver in the Korean-market Ioniq3 and Elantra

Instrument Clusters Are Now Paid Add-Ons in Two Hyundai Models

The base Ioniq 3 doesn’t seem to offer an instrument cluster at all.

I went by a VW Group R&D facility today and saw a Ford Explorer parked where they normally park electrified mules behind a fence. Are you saying that could have actually been a Scout mule?

Thank you for stating that. Can’t wait to see the Scout test vehicles.

There are no Scouts in Ba Sing Se

A VW bus from the 60s could fit.

Not if it looked like any competitor's vehicle.

Not nearly wide enough or long enough. Maybe something on the commercial side of the fence might work. They usually have the top from one thing, the hood from another, fenders stretched and flared, and everything sitting awkwardly on top of the frame. All that will change in the next few months. Then we can start telling the development story...

Do you guys add some bits and pieces of the tech you have designed in the car as well or are they running off of monitors with a Frankenstein interior.

The technical bits are all there for testing purposes, but it isn't very pretty. Doesn't need to be. Function over form as wiring, computers, gear and more get swapped out regularly.

Sounds a lot like BMWs engineering samples. The amount of Random carpets and red buttons.
