What are you driving until release?

[cyure]

Interesting to me how many people are signing short term leases until these are available, as well as how many folks aren't really EV believers but have placed orders for a Scout. Just tells me how much the existing EV builders are missing the mark. Gas generator is such a simple add, but to me, it's pretty vital if you're taking a vehicle off road. Much more piece of mind that I won't be stuck looking for a charger that's operational. Still running with '24 Land Cruiser, which remains a great vehicle, but really looking forward to driving a Scout.

So is the Scout going to replace your ‘24 Land Cruiser?

There’s quite a few of us on here crossing our fingers our vehicles last until our Scout arrives.

I’m lucky in that even though my Wrangler is 12, I have the MOPAR lifetime warranty. They don’t sell that warranty anymore. Easy to understand why. My repairs are a $100 deductible as long as I own her. So I’m going from a 2013 Wrangler to my Scout. I haven’t decided BEV or EREV yet but either way I feel like I’m going from a flip phone to an iPhone.

I’m anxious for the first test videos that show what a capable BEV SUV can do and then see how many people will convert to all BEV. There is a great opportunity for SM to blanket social media with these demos and prove to people that a BEV will easily meet the needs of probably 50% or more of the Harvester reservation holders and folks like @SpaceEVDriver documenting their experiences only helps the education of those of us who are brand new to BEV’s.

I find many of those same thoughts fascinating. I am fully on board with EV. But if Harvester brings more people to Scout I think that’s great. I really hope it doesn’t turn into an us versus them thing.

There’s no reason for that. We are all part of the Scout family!

I have had several Land Cruisers, Toyota 4x4s, and daily a GX470. The Scout will be my first EV.

I think a lot of guys from the Toyota off-roading community will be on board after they see what the Scouts are capable of. Especially the overland folks with Tundras and Land Cruisers.

I can see an easier transition to EVs by Toyota buyers. It’s the big jeeps,Bronco and Dodge crew that I believe will be difficult to convince. But just my take on things

I'm currently driving a 22 GMC Sierra 1500 w/3.0L diesel engine. The plan is to transfer ownership to my son once my Terra is ready for delivery. He should be 16 by the time Scout starts delivering

Welcome to the community!

Thanks for the welcome. Excited for this new Scout. I miss having a bigger rig. Had the cool 2007 FJ in my avatar and miss that look and feel. And love the EV experience with the EV6. Can’t wait to combine them both.

I’m very excited as well. I can’t wait!

The FJ is another vehicle I wish would come back. That would be fun to see.

Having seen the Scouts in person at Nats I can confirm they are a bigger rig. I highly recommend seeing them when you can. A great follow is @Jamie@ScoutMotors he keeps us updated from the manufacturer side of things.

Having seen it in person at the reveal I can say they knocked it out of the park. Even better in person

The FJ was awesome. Had 35” tires. Icon lift. Etc. etc. not sure why I ever sold that. This past week I rented a new Rubicon in Sedona AZ and ran the Broken Arrow trail. Forgot how much fun rock crawling can be. These next 2-3 years are going to be a hard wait.
