October 2024 Production Center Update

[LastDayScout]

I suppose there is a careful balance between unique and convenient. Frankly, I like that the Scout is unique. As far as how they are serviced, I really don't care where (or by whom) they are serviced. An oil and filter change on my Traveler at a local dealership would be preferable over going to a Scout branded facility a couple of hours away. With my wife's new Subaru, we drove 45 minutes to the dealership as long as the oil changes were free. Once that ended, they happen locally. I guess you can see that I have no emotional connection to dealerships. As long as the work is competent, I don't care what your cap says.

I know Scouts are off road oriented vehicles and will likely break more stuff as such. But, overall, EVs do not require a lot of service. In 35,000 miles, my iX has had a set of wiper blades, washer fluid, one cabin filter and one set of tires (only because what came on it were summer tires that wore quickly). It will be due for inspection and brake fluid at two years. Of course, if you have the Harvester, it will require fluid changes and filters. Many "fixes" and improvements are Over The Air, OTA.
