Hello - Newbie here, just reserved my place in line for a Terra Harvester last night. Because of where I live, Anchorage, Alaska, I’ve been on the fence about an EV for awhile. You see them often around Anchorage (Alaska’s largest city) ~300k population, but there are few charging stations around the state. So, because of that, and not wanting to have multiple cars, I’ve been hesitant about getting an EV. However, the off road capabilities of the Scouts paired with the extended range option and price point pretty much sealed the deal for me. I’m also aware of the need for cold weather mitigation and I think this can be managed very well.
I just have one remaining concern…I’ve seen mention of 80% of repairs not requiring a trained tech, but what about this remaining 20% of repairs that may need a specialist? Assuming Scout wouldn’t set up a service shop here, how would I get repairs done, especially those under warranty? Would the Volkswagen dealership/service center have trained techs?
Edited to add: I think this issue would apply to a lot of owners, throughout North America, that are far from a Scout service shop.
