Will, I thought you were in favor of the free market? Why aren’t you calling for all vehicle manufacturers to be able to sell their products in SC regardless of whether it’s through a dealership or not?
The free market only works if it actually is a FREE market without government intervention and legislators spending OPM (other people’s money) to pick winners and losers!
For those who don’t get the economics thing, I highly recommend ECONOMICS101, it’s free from HillsdaleCollege.edu.
Aren’t the pre-existing and anti-competitive dealership laws in SC that Scout is fighting in and of itself a form of government intervention that’s hindering the free market?
Before you make condescending comments about others needing ECON lessons, maybe look in the mirror first.
Will wants SC to go back to the days of picking tobacco and cotton.
Jackass comment.
Has Scout Motors hired any US citizen managers? They advertise many, but from what I’m hearing they’re not hiring any locals for management positions.
Ford is going bankrupt. BMW expected to scale back on production and lay off 25,000 US employees. Container freight is expected to drop at State Ports
Dozens of members of the State Legislature suspected of getting kickbacks from Scout.
The transplant invasion of a species with two legs from blue states are deranged, nasty, rude, pretentious worms.
Anyone else remember the Mack Truck plant? I believe we’ll see a repeat with Scout Motors.
Please remember that Scout (a loose subsidiary of volkswagon) has not taken possession of the site or the project and they dont have to if the state of sc doesnt hit certain milestones.
This boondoggle is 100% still with the taxpayers. It wont officially fail until after HM is out of office. The site will end up data centers and warehouses.
The same crack team of commerce contractors brought you this one as brought the Carolina Panthers to SC. Oh wait….
We really need politicians that make an average salary between $40k-$60k so taxpayer money is spent more wisely. What a joke to make an investment in something that has little demand like EVs.
Money laundering scheme.
How is the SCADA pumping funds to legislators to keep their cut of every car sale in the state not crony capitalism? I’m not for a carveout for Scout…I’m for ending the block on direct sales all together.
50,000 pre-orders for a vehicle slated to roll off the line in 2027. Scout will do just fine. Definitely better than the Foxconn deal that Donnie dumped on Wisconsin.
Wow, you know so much! ? Could you please talk at me some more about how Scout Motors is treading upon the free market rights of car dealers? Preferably while your wife watches. Your insight has me ready to make a snail slime trail all the way from my cabin in New Hampshire.
Do you think legacy industries, like fossil fuels, haven’t gotten their fare share of public money? I’m OK with Scout taking a handout from an otherwise politically and socially retrograde state to move the EV transition forward. Blue states have offered public money to EV makers, too.
I imagine Will’s great grampy was shaking his fists at those new fandangled horseless carriages too.
This Scout Motors deal was crap from the beginning. If it needed corporate welfare from the onset, not a viable deal. This is why business needs to take care of business and government needs to govern. Stay in your lane.

Another big day for South Carolina as Pratt Industries in York and Carolina Renewable Products in Orangeburg announced a combined $372 million in new investment and more than 270 new jobs!””” That is $1,377,777.78 Sent per Job!! That is TOO Much of or Tax Dollars for TOO little Return! How about Invest in Small Businesses (mom and pop) Instead! $100,000.0 Per Small Business sounds Much Better as Most Small Businesses employs at least 4 People on average!!
