No I meant fusion. Just to drive point home, everything has a cost.

Fusion power doesn't exist....

Fusion power doesn't exist....

Not utility scale, but sustained fusion has been achieved for short periods (22 minutes is the record). It will be here eventually to power our solid state batteries.

Ok, Mr. Pedantic.

Yep. And every solar panel is indirect fusion.

So the Scout deathwatch continues with their response and the obvious niche space they are planning to compete in. Things have changed from the early 2020’s.

Fusion by proximity?

 

[kanundrum]

Yup Same, Also they will not hit their price targets will be the next news (if they even make it to market)

Honestly at this point they are fighting the administration just regroup in 2029

 

[cjones1130]

Commitment to an error, impressive.

Fusion by proximity?

Yes the proximity to the big fusion reactor in the sky. Whoever say fusion does not work must be asleep all day.

I worked nights for 20 months... Still saw the sun (it would wake me up at about 2 in the afternoon due to window placement in the apartment).

I don't even foresee the factory being completed and cars ever coming off the line....they missed the window.....Hope I'm wrong. It is the best looking adventure EV.

I cancelled my day 1 scout reservation last week. I just can't support the emphasis on EREV. If that's their market, fine, but I'd rather support BEV initiatives.

Credit was processed same day so good on them for that. This narrows my playing field to a tri-motor R2 which likely won't be possible due to tariffs or a Volvo EX60 unless a Zeekr or something became available which I'd be surprised in the next year.

The point of his using fusion for his example is that it is a future technology that is held up as the holy grail of power generation. Near limitless energy with zero pollution. He gave that example because even this future "perfect" technology has carbon emissions in making the power plants. There is no free lunch, but moving the needle in the right direction is what matters.

I'll be surprised if the new Scout vehicles make it to market, especially by 2027 and at the starting price scouts touting.
I like the look of their suv better than the R1S (plus I don't need a third row) but do not like their truck. I'll see what happens will likely just keep my T.
