Hopefully scout can keep out of dealerships. I did see a interview where scott kind of broke down the relationship between scout and vwag. He basically said that when they started the company it was setup in a way that made it separate from vw but still under the group.

That’s really weird. I’m thinking something isn’t right with the battery if it’s losing juice so quickly. I mean, mine went dark during the pandemic a couple of times because I wasn’t going anywhere, but my Prius had upwards of 90K miles and is two generations behind yours. What the hell?

Yeah, I thought there was something wrong with it too but I asked the company fleet manager about it and he said it's normal. They all do it. Sure enough, several other people in the company that got them at the same time are all having the exact same issue with them.

I suspect there is a lot about the SM company that none of us know. They didnt go this big, this far without a lot of strategery

Very true

 

[Badams]

Yeah I’m sure we barely know anything about what it’s taken to get this far.

Also I really hope that they will keep both models mostly like the concepts and don’t strip everything that makes the concepts so cool on the base model.

I think that would be a huge mistake

 

[Badams]

Me too so I’m keeping my fingers crossed

Didn’t Scott say the reveal that 80% is real and 20% is fiction. But then the Benj said on a podcast that its more like 85-90% real for production.

I was talking more about the base model version not being a completely stripped down model. Like jeep and the bronco has been done

Agreed. Sounds like there is a draw somewhere.

The company I work for gave me a new Prius Prime plug in hybrid a few months ago. The 12V battery goes dead if I don't drive the car every 3-4 days. Pretty much have to jump start it every time I drive it.

1,800 miles on the car. No, I didn't forget a zero.

I briefly had a similar issues with my 2021 Lincoln. It turned out to be the fact that I hung the keys right next to the entrance door to the garage that we use all the time, and the fob would wake up the car constantly. I relocated where I keep the keys, problem solved.
