VW is reviving scout line to be mostly hybrids rather than EVs
More than eight out of 10 consumers who put down a $100 reservation on a Scout have selected plug-in hybrid versions over EVs.
This leaves a terrific space for β¦βͺ@Rivianβ¬β© to slot right into. Do either of them dare?!
How bad does RJ want to stay independent(ish)? How bad does β¦βͺ@VWβ¬β© need them for the Americas?

ChatGPT is giving +500 on a parlay bet that Slate Auto + Rivian + Lucid all launch their newest vehicles on time in 2026.
Whoβs taking that bet?

2026 is the year where (some) car companies go out of business.
They wonβt actually close their doors in the 2-6, but the foundations will be firmly set.

Points to OEMs building in NA (which is ALL of them) seeing this as a long-term solution.
And even more pressure on π¨π³ supply chains as they get sloppily get taken out of the 2nd largest passenger vehicle marketβs vehicles.
Likely outcome -> shove more supply into the πͺπΊ.

We love the open-top Longbow Speedster, but the Roadster will be the company's bread & butter. These specs are pretty promising and the price isn't completely nuts for this kind of proposition.
