walkerjason+FollowVW Scout’s Wild EV Pivot: Gas Isn’t Dead YetScout Motors (VW’s new adventure EV brand) is ditching the all-electric hype and going for range-extended EVs—think battery power with a gas engine backup. Turns out, 80% of folks reserving Scouts want the Harvester model, which can go up to 500 miles using both battery and gas. CEO Scott Keogh says, “This is EV without the drama.” Looks like Americans still want that gas safety net, even in their electric rides! #Cars #ElectricVehicles #ScoutMotors20Share
larsontiffany+FollowColorado’s car shopping just changedCar buyers in Colorado are about to see a real shake-up: Scout, a new American brand, can now sell vehicles directly to customers, skipping the usual dealership process. This move, backed by a recent state board decision, puts Scout alongside Tesla and Rivian in offering a more streamlined, customer-focused buying experience. Local dealers pushed back hard, but the board ruled Scout is its own thing—not just another VW brand. With this decision, Colorado drivers could soon have more options and control over how they buy their next ride. What do you think—are direct sales the future of car buying? #Cars #ColoradoCars #ScoutMotors00Share
Evan Knight+FollowBig changes ahead for SC car buyers?South Carolina is at a crossroads: Volkswagen’s $1.3 billion Scout Motors plant is bringing 4,000 jobs, but state law still blocks direct car sales from manufacturers like Scout and Tesla. That means the cars built here might not even be available to local residents unless the law changes. Dealerships argue they’re the backbone of local communities, while others say the old model is outdated and direct sales would benefit buyers. With the new plant nearly finished and the debate heating up, how do you feel about the future of car buying in SC? Would you miss your local dealer, or are you ready for a new way to shop for cars? #Cars #SouthCarolina #ScoutMotors00Share
