Ideal Small Sized Vehicle

[SrfnFly227]

Something a little bigger than the TJ Wrangler and smaller than the current model. I would buy a 2 door personally, but would expect a 4 door to sell more units. Soft top and/or removable hardtop. 250 mile range.

I honestly believe there is a market for an EV Wrangler/Bronco. People don't buy that type of vehicle expecting it to be great at road tripping or towing. People buy them as a fun vehicle to drive around town. Getting 250 miles is fine. Hell, the gas light in my Wrangler comes on around 210-220 miles.

The problem with a 3 row will be the battery size requirement. People will expect it to drive as far as a comparable gas powered vehicle. That isn't range anxiety. Its simply expectations of a class of vehicle. My Grand Cherokee has a 450-500 mile range. I can fill the tank in less than 10 minutes and then drive another 450-500. I can't imagine the amount of battery that would be required to move a Suburban 500 miles. How long would that much battery take to charge? How much would that vehicle weigh? Cost?

I just don't see the 3 row as being feasible with current tech. I do think you could make a really successful Wrangler/Bronco killer though.

I hear you loud and clear. Kinda feel the same though families with incomes over $125K love a big honking 3-row even if they do t truly need it. My wife included with her slightly smaller honda pilot and just the two of us in the house

I like that color. It’s no PBY, but I like it.

It is PBY. Pale Blue Yonder

It is OBY. Pale Blue Yonder

There’s only one PBY! The OG.

I like the 2 door look…

Yes definitely stick with the 2-door. I would also keep the rear window flick, the body flick like the Terra, and maybe go to the square headlights like the latest Scout II’s.

Does nobody have a napkin and a ballpoint pen these days to not be able to just chicken scratch out what’s in their head? It doesn’t have to be ready for display in the Met, but it doesn’t always have to be AI-generated.

In response to the original question, a RAV4 is a decent size for my purposes. The original Scout with four doors would be okay. When you do have passengers, two doors stink. It stinks to climb over a big dumb seat to get into a crummy back seat. I don’t miss that at all.

Agree. I test drove a Defender 90 and it had power seats. My husband said how do you get in the back. There’s a button you push and the seat has to move forward and up, which took forever and then back in place. That right there we both said nope never mind.

Careful, that's how the CT made it into production...

I like sketching but it’s hard to upload and share. I did one of a hypothetical scout motors logo a long time ago.

Do these count? I leave it to Massie to do the sketches Scouts. My world is architecture
