It is more of a pre-pre-reveal

Wow... Looks like a Ford Bronco reveal video rip off... But poorly done.
Exactly. Also, as stated above, makes me wanna find a real one to restore instead of getting a German made one.

Batteries are for toys, not for cars

cools video but an EV for off road? Kind of like the Jeep commercial with the charger in the middle of the desert. Will that really ever happen. Also, looks like american made which is awesome but the batteries will come from China right?

Finally, I believe the commercial stated that scout helped defend the nation…but in what capacity?
jeeps are obvious and Ford competed for the design, Dodge had the power wagons, Chevy had the blazers/pickups and the new ve is based on a canyon. I just don’t recall the Scouts

It's going to be made in America at an all new factory is what I had read.
I'm not an EV guy but have been a lifelong VW guy so I'm 50-50 at this point....
The idea of carrying around a generator on longer trips to emergency charge is the hold up....

Wonder if you can ditch the batteries and replace it with a TDI? Imagine fitting a one of these in

All those original Scouts were bad ass. I got this Bronco because it reminded me of my Grandfather's Scout. We will see how the new one turns out. The only thing that makes me think they could do it right is they are clearly acknowledging the original, so maybe they will. Make it look like the old one, give it a serious off road chassis and 300+ miles of range and I'll be interested.

The International Scout was always very obscure compared to the Wrangler and the Bronco, we're lucky to be getting any kind of revival in my opinion, especially since it looks like they're putting more effort into it than Chevy did with the Blazer. And even if it was fully ICE powered, it's doubtful that it would do anything particularly better than a Wrangler or a Bronco already does. They're smart to try and diversify the off-roading space with a capable EV and get a headstart on sorting out the gremlins that entails. Much in the way Jeep is making substantial updates to the Wrangler on account of the Bronco, it'll be good to see a new kid on the block so that Ford won't rest on their laurels.

The batteries will be made in either the US or Canada. Although likely with a partnership with a Chinese owned conglomerate like CATL. So, US made Chinese batteries.

Cool video posted by Scout a couple of days ago:

https://www.scoutevforum.com/forum/...o-from-scout-motors-americas-next-shot.10864/

Like the Bronco is pushing the Wrangler to evolve, I believe the all electric Scout will push Ford to come out with an electrified Bronco by the end of this decade. I can envision the new Scout being my first ever electric vehicle, if they do it right.
I actually really liked the intro. Let’s see how many years until the Scout is actually available. 🤪
