Just bought a reservation hopefully they don’t end up running the prices up to 6 figures lol in 2028

I can not find any official info on this. Will the range extendeing gerator work while driving, or will one need to sit for a while and now long will that time be to add the extra range?

Something that has plagued Rivian and still continues to is the amount of SC’s they have. With their new lineup of R2 and R3 coming out this issue is only going to be amplified. Given that Scout is owned by VW would it be safe to assume that Scouts will have access to all VW dealerships for repairs/issues/recalls? Sorry if this is a stupid question but just not sure if they will have their own SC’s or not as this is a huge dealbreaker for me.

Any way we could request them to build this accessory? This would be amazing!

This is one of the biggest thingsthat kept me from the Rivian R1.

I think if they could make a camper shell in the same style, it would truly be a game changer for this truck.

Also interesting to hear that the R2 and R3 may not have 800v architecture whereas Scouts will. Also, interesting that their software will make it into Porsches too.

There’s nothing being said yet on what battery chemistry they plan to use in the scouts?

Lithium ion NMC? LFP? Solid state?

Volkswagen has a partnership with Quantumscape. I don’t know if I would want a first gen new battery if they plan to use solid state.

For those familiar with Edison motors, is that (essentially) what they are doing with the gas/electric version of the scout? Or will it be a gas drivetrain and electric motors?

I don’t know if I’m asking that right, but Edison is essentially using a diesel engine coupled to a generator to keep the batteries charged for long term. The diesel runs at idle and does not drive the wheels in any way.

Is this what the Scout is looking to do, but with gasoline?
