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

Terra Harvester. Looking forward to my daily commute being battery powered, and having the ability to go camping with a generator on board.

Welcome! I'm currently Traveler/Harvester but may switch to Terra once the final specs are released next year...

Welcome to the community and thanks for your post. Enjoy the community

The interesting bit about this poll, I think, is that 82.5% of the people responding have reserved the Harvester. That pretty much matches Scout's numbers that they have talked about. I find it interesting because many people on here seem to prefer BEV (like me) but have reserved and are intending on buying a Harvester (like me). I wonder if some of those numbers are skewed by the fact that the Harvester is going to be released first.

And I’m still curious how many people switch to BEV if the gas prices continue to stay as high as they are.

May be a bit of the chicken and the egg situation with Harvester vs BEV. I'm sure they had no intentions one way or the other before announcement on which would get a little more focus at the beginning until the Harvester reservations were overwhelming.

I reserved the Traveler Harvester. I commute 35 miles one way to work and I need 4 wheel drive in the Winter. This will be perfect for me since I should be able to drive most days without needing gas. But I also have days where I am at work for over 24 hours and I don't have a place to plug in, so having the ability to charge the battery with the 4 cylinder motor is great for me.

Welcome to the community!

Thanks! I can't wait to see pictures of everyone's rig when we eventually get them.

Me too.

Couple tips around these parts. There’s tons of info. The search button (magnifying glass upper right corner) is very helpful. A couple great follows are @Jamie@ScoutMotors and @CP1@scoutmotors they keep us updated from the manufacturer side and announce where and when the concepts will be on display.

Enjoy. We have a pretty great community and lots of information.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy all we have to offer here-good, bad or ridiculous!

Sounds like a great case for a harvester

When you say no place to charge-do you mean at work or at home?

At work

 

[J Alynn]

At work

Ok. You should still have plenty even with a BEV. We’ve been trickle charging at home and you could likely gain 25 miles or so from after work until next round of work even if 24 hour shift of time. At 70 miles round trip and presuming real world range of 300 miles per full charge and say 2 maybe 3 nights of trickle with 25 mile range gain you would have plenty of juice for the weekly commutes. And with a level 2 charger you’d do even better. 5x70 miles is 350 and with 75 mile gain on 3 trickle charges you’d only use 350 miles but have 375 miles available. Just putting that out there as something to consider.
I thought maybe you couldn’t charge at home-that’s why I asked.

First, welcome to all the new community members. But yeah thats what I was going to say too J. I think this is all part of the transition of an I.C.E. vehicle is having that extra piece of mind. You're spot on, for so many will they realize how easy it is to live with a full BEV.

Hello, Rivian owner here. I have 2025 Rivian Standard Range that I can get with my current wheel/tire setup about 225 miles of range. I fly regularly with a one way 32 mile commute and I can easily leave my house at 100% drive to the airport and arrive with about 72% or so and let the truck sit for 2 or 3 days, and when I get back it will have usually between 65%-70% depending on the time of the year if the keep cabin cool feature kicks on as well as how many times the cameras turn on (it's called Gear Guard on Rivian) when someone gets around it. On the way home I'll use the vehicle like normal whether it be cool or heated seats and Autonomy + the whole time on the highway running about 80 mph and will arrive home usually in the 20% range, plug into my level 2 charger at home and in the morning I'm right back to 100% ready to do it all over again. With that being said, the BEV Traveler with the estimated 350 miles of range would easily be more than enough.

FYI, I'm not trying to sway your decision or anything just sharing my personal BEV experience. In fact, like many of us on here we've had multiple BEV's or have had BEV's for multiple years so please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any. Welcome again!

I see the Harvester as having a draw on three types of people. One is the type of person who is hesitant to get a BEV. I feel like the EREV is like dipping your toe into the shallow end on that. It's a few steps up from a typical hybrid where the engine powers the wheels. My guess is that once people see that they rarely use the Harvester, their next vehicle will be a BEV. The second is people who have unique circumstances where they need extended range for some reason. The third is they can't wait (well, they can, but don't want to) for the BEV.

I, unfortunately, fit into the second category. I say unfortunately because I have a BEV at the moment and do not want to go back. But my wife is going BEV and we can't have two in the house. I have a unique circumstance given where I live (weather and the Midwest's huge distance between civilization) and some of the places I travel to to see family that has little or out-of-the way charging infrastructure, I have a need for the Harvester. Once in infrastructure fills in/charging times decrease, we'll be a two BEV household.

I, unabashedly, also fit into the third category. There's no way I have the willpower to wait for the BEV to come out.

I just keep telling myself they can make both and there’s no reason to take ages between EREV and BEV.

I’m also in the second and third categories…
I will be towing my boat several times a season and I can’t wait!

Partially category 2 here, along with some category 4**.

**The ability to use the Harvester as a backup power source (paired with solar) for the house for extended weather events, infrastructure failures, societal collapse or whatever.
