Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

[cyure]

We are in for one BEV Traveler, and one EREV Traveler. I don't personally want or need the EREV but fiancee likes the idea. I don't think she knows that Harvester will be more expensive. My sincere hope is that Scout isn't locked into a specific battery chemistry yet. If they are pushing the release of the BEV I hope they will be prepared to move to the latest tech that still keeps the pricing in line. Range and charging times are improving by the month. If you have 18 months before production starts, let's make sure we aren't behind the times or obsolete before the cars deliver.

I thought I needed a Harvester but learning as much as I have on here I realized I didn’t. I switched my reservation to a BEV.

Do you have two reservations? If you do and aren’t planning on buying two you only need one reservation. When it’s time to order we can pick any model, any power source. Just FYI in case you weren’t aware.

I share your concerns, also living in rural NM. Fiesta VW in Albuquerque is 30 miles away.

I know dealerships will take service money where ever and however they can get it. So, although they may not turn you down for an appointment, the legal mess of the VW dealerships suing VWAG of the DTC model, they may very well not do a very thorough job or they may gouge you for the service. Color me skeptical on VW dealerships.

Hopefully, I will have a physical location and mobile tech options in ABQ, NM. Too far to travel to Phoenix, Denver, or Dallas if they don't have this option in my state at the time of estimated delivery in +2027. I'm anticipating the I.C.E. extended range engine will need servicing at least once a year compared to the EV components.

Highly unlikely they will have a service center by delivery date. Tesla had no service center when the Model S and X came out and it took a few years for that to ramp up. They will likely look at the demographics of who and where vehicles are going and put SC in appropriate places, but I wouldn't hold my breath for one in your town for quite a while. If ABQ is a hotbed for sales...maybe, but I'm skeptical. Technically Scout is a start up with good financial and technical backing, but they are not VWAG.
