Does it make sense that the DTC detail should have been a determining factor beforehand I don't think the way the current climate towards clean energy or EV's that Scout is going to be able to achieve DTC especially with their detailed investment in Rivian lawyers for dealer association will prove they invested in Rivian to utilize Rivian technology in Scout which seems to be the case.

Not losing interest, but coming to terms with my real reason for wanting a Scout (wifey helped with that). The truth is, this will be a nostalgia purchase for me. I’ve owned two, my dad owned four. I learned to drive in the ‘67. My first thought was, I want all the off-road bells and whistles. Am I going to do that? Probably less than 5%. I do “need” a PU though… ‘every man should have a PU’ Right? I occasionally need something to carry stuff with, but not often. Hence my Terra Harvester reservation.

I’m educating myself on EV’s in general and all the associated positives and negatives. To my surprise my attitudes against EV’s has taken a hard 90o turn (not 180). Battery and charging technology seems to be advancing at warp speed. Who knows what will be de rigueur in two years. I may re-think the Harvester choice down the road, even if I do make road trips with it.

So… STILL EXCITED!
