Realistic TTM date for traveler BEV?

[BearScout]

Any guesses on time to market for Traveler BEV model? It seems like they will release the EREV version only at first. Makes me think it will be closer to 2029?

I am currently playing the car lease game trying to time it but it seems impossible to gauge with Scouts’ TTM timeline.

I just don’t see it being an entire model year later for the BEV, especially since they started designing the BEV long before the EREV and it’s simpler.

All I will say, I posted it not too long ago actually, is this transportation and if you need a car you need a car.

Agree. You can’t risk losing 20% of your traveler buyers simply because most want the EREV and if it is a full year I’d be shocked if most wait around when there are plenty of BEV’s already fully baked but Im just guessing

It'll be available when it's ready.

Given an option between rushed and a delay, I would prefer a delay to make sure the vehicles have been as tested as reasonable rather than a half-baked rush job.

I'm not looking for perfection. But would prefer "enough time to make it good" rather than "must meet an arbitrary deadline."

2 issues - will the development be ready. Given it was started first and it is ultimately simpler - I don't worry about development that much. The second is simply demand vs ramp up production capacity. Initially, they will have lot of orders and they will take time to fill. It will ultimately be up to them how they prioritize filling orders. I suspect they will produce the EV's first if the EREV's are not ready - or do the opposite if the opposite is the case. If both are ready for production - my humble bet is they will produce in proportion to orders (unless there is a reason to wait on the EV - such as emerging tech coming into near imminent commercial production.
