It’s great to learn that way…. I was lucky to come up under an experienced manager myself - tried to pass some of that on when I retired but the new kid was more interested in getting AI to do the work…

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.

I take that jab at lawyers as a compliment.I LOVE loopholes!! I have fun with all the local inspection departments, and then going over their heads to get them overruled by the state's Department of Insurance that regulates our codes. 100% success rate over 25+ years!
I'd have made a greatlawyercriminal if it weren't for these darn morals...
I'm not quite sure whether that's a loophole Scout could follow. Tesla's problem is/was different than Scout's. Scout's problem isn't that they are selling direct to consumers in a particular state doesn't allow that type of sale. Scout's problem is that it's selling direct to consumers and there are allegations (untrue, of course) that by doing so, Scout is violating a state's franchise laws. In short, by selling DTC, Tesla was (allegedly) violating State Law A. Scout on the other hand, by selling DTC, is (allegedly, but not actually) violating State Law B. So while the loophole may have gotten Tesla around State Law A, and could ger Scout around State Law A if it has the same problem, I don't believe that same loophole will get Scout around State Law B. I'm not saying there isn't a loophole for State Law B, but it's much harder to imagine one than Tesla's. If you were to believe the dealers' associations' meritless (in my opinion) arguments, each state's franchise law is designed to stop exactly what Scout is trying to do.
