Hold my beer.

These VW dudes don’t know how to take pictures. Brightness needs to be turned up.


But also. Nice rivian bro.

As a previous owner of an original Scout, I sure hope they threw out everything from the original design. The damn thing was a rust bucket, the steering was so loose you had to go from 3 to 9 to keep it going straight, the lap belts were well, not safe. Half the time I had to spray the carburetor to get it going. It was a heavy beast, but it was tough: you could stand on the hood or the roof and not dent it. Ours was 2 toned: white lower and black upper and we called it to the Skunk, because of the smoke/smell. It really didn't have any redeeming qualities. It was truly a product of the 70s.

Good thing the Scout EV will share zero mechanical parts with the original Scout then! ? I think we're gonna see a modern design revealed tomorrow rather than a retro / heritage look.

Oh, I agree 100%. It needs a clean slate (in more ways than one)!

Just watched. New scout bad af, but it’s a hybrid with a gas engine (range extender). That kind of defeats the low maintenance element.

The price seems aspirational even in today’s money. I hope they don’t Fisker themselves

It is unclear that you are looking at this in any detail vs just reading titles

Indications are that the 'range extender' is an OPTION so it is primarily a battery EV.

Also, there is supposed to be like 80% user maintainable items on it.

Here is one short but fairly informative video - they also open the frunk, doors, and tailgate.

Way better looking than the Rivian. Oink.

I’m definitely not reading haha. I watched the press release event, the grey haired dude said it needs gas and even though it does have projected 350 mile EV range - he made it seem like the range extender is standard. It was unclear. Almost everything both of the dudes said had a future tense connotation. If it was available today, and it truly is backed by VW, I would take a look. Right now they’re projecting a 2027 release date; we all learned with this cybertruck release, that a lot can change.
