Scout Motors aims to launch the retro-style Terra and Traveler electric models amid challenging conditions influenced by government policy changes. CEO Scott Keogh emphasizes that automakers should not rely heavily on government incentives and that a strong product can succeed regardless of these fluctuations. With ties to the Volkswagen Group and a factory in South Carolina, Scout Motors is set to navigate market difficulties while focusing on delivering quality vehicles. Keogh predicts that federal tax credits, such as the $7,500 incentive, may soon disappear, urging a focus on strong product offerings instead.
It's naive to anchor everything you have on government policy, so government policy can move. Make a great truck at a great price, that people love.
The consumer tax credits were always going away, so there's no way you could live off of that. I think they were gonna be gone by 2032.
