The EV9 Wind AWD with average transaction price of $62,500 is as close as you can get to a Telluride in the SX-Prestige X-Line trim with average transaction price of $54,200. Yes a difference of $8,300 which gets you a larger auto in the EV based on length and width. Telluride is taller. EV9 has more interior space. Yes the savings has not crossed the full cost of the auto but then the maintenance has not been figured in either, where Kia says every 7,500 miles for a proper synthetic oil change. As such, that would be 4 1/2 oil changes and here they average $100, so add $450 to the gas price, so approaching $5,000 pretty much I will be break even by the end of 2026 in how I see it. The benefit of never having to go to a gas station, no maintenance, it is still very simple for me and if you have no problem with used, then you can save a tone on a certified EV or certified ICE. I am seeing 2yr lease returns with very low miles at way less than the 2yr lease ice return. Thank you for the Tire info, I forgot when I just quickly looked at my paperwork from the free inspection they did and did the dumb stupid math of converting 6/32 to a percentage which is NOT how I should have done it. @Drew Dowdell Made a big mistake in tire life. 60% tire life left based on the new tread depth versus current tread depth. Just looked on the Hankook website for new tire information: Hankook iON evo AS SUV 275/50 R20 tire has a tread depth of 10/32 inches -

Per Scout's own support site: They only address Apple Carplay So I hit the chat button and they responded with the following: So at this point, AA/CP is not supported till they state it imo. -
I want one of these so bad. I wouldn't even worry about the "range extended" version as the EV range will be sufficient enough for me. 350 miles of range is more than enough for me. I'd be fine with like 275+ miles of range. My only issue is price and if I could swallow a 60-70k depreciating asset. Oh, I guess my other issue is the dealership/maintenance/repair network situation. I know they're supposed to be building a repair network, but I still worry without any legacy-like established buildings. Yes, they claim to drive to you wherever you are and I'm sure that's only while under warranty, but what happens outside of warranty? Am I paying like a $500 bill to come to my house then to diagnose an issue? -
Everything I've read says they will support AA/CP. I'd LOVE a Scout but I'm not sure if I could swallow the price. I think it's a mistake to allow Chinese vehicles into Canada or the US. You're right. They only have children working in near-slave-like conditions. Good point. 🙄

Just a weeeeee bit off of the price of vehicle difference.. 6/32 is more than 20%. 2/32 is the legal wear marks and most street tires come brand new at 10-11/32. You've likely worn off 4/32 and have 4/32 remaining before the wear bars. If your tires are at 6/32, you're right at 50%.
