Like the early days of PC’s, buy now or wait a few months for something better.
Yes, but I was referring more to the charging infrastructure. I like Scout's design philosophy and ideology (body-on-frame, bolt-on-panels, buttons and tactile human-based UI's), so I don't expect much to change in the next few years as far as the vehicle I want. I was just saying that by 2028 I bet a few more folks will peel off the Harvester and opt for the pure EV due to changing conditions on-the-ground.

I could be wrong, of course. I think it's going to be a long education process before the US catches up to the rest of the world in regard to the FUD that's being spread over EV's and the range people need each day.

That said, I fully acknowledge the use cases presented here for those sticking with the Harvester.

I look forward to when they actually roll out the build sheets and associated cost hopefully that's 6 months from now and once factory is close to coming online timelines for manufacturing. Right now I feel like John Delorean I can see it feel it now we just need to build it Regardless if SC passes DTC bill Scout will be successful simply because they have a great product that makes sense in cost construction and creativity

Edit: this is borne out in this site's reservation stats here:

https://www.scoutevforum.com/forum/threads/2027-scout-ev-reservations-list-tracker-stats-📋-📊.10906/

82.6% are for the Harvester EREV!



Article:

Why More People Are Ordering The Hybrid Scout Than The Electric One

If 2024 was the “Year of the Hybrid,” then I think it’s fair to say that the next ten years in the United States will be the “Decade of the EREV.”

No one knows what the battery sizes and efficiency stats will be. Until we get real numbers, people will hedge W the harvester, ive reserved the harvester - if the range is only 150miles before you dip into the gas generator then I would switch my order To EV only because that’s insufficient. What for more information and we will see how this shakes out.

I think 150 EV is not enough I was hoping more of 350 and extender addition of 150 to give you the 500 mile range.. But like you stated we need to see what comes out of scout and that will determine how many reservations turn into actual orders.

They’ve been pretty clear in several communications that it’s 150 EV, 350 Harvester. Sure, it could change, but there’s no way they can stick a gas engine and tank on a vehicle with the full size 350 mile battery. That’s just not going to happen.

FYI: Looks like Scout is at least a little ahead of the pack on this.

It's noteworthy that Scout avoided Ford's billion-dollar mistake (building expensive full-size EV pickup trucks that aren't quite practical with current battery tech). Same goes for Hummer EV & Cybertruck.

...the last one is overdue. Ford's even more glaring hybrid/PHEV omission is the Transit van, which has an EV version that's viable mainly for local delivery.

Right now we have a beautiful partner who looks to do everything right but it hasn't cooked or raised kids yet this baby needs to come to life and start cooking to see and have realtime data. And scout needs to get build sheets and actual offerings out to reservation holders and be nice to enlighten by scout when those milestones will occur. What are the timeframes for design, order / build codes , Options and trims my hope is 6 months when is factory slated to come online are they currently on schedule. When can the loyal scout reservationist expect to see information and will there be availability to see feel and touch the vehicle of choice before ordering.
