From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
We have a new video from scout! Of winter testing!!!! And we get to see the test mules!!!!
They look highly modified bodies.

Our favorite insider said we may get a sneak peak of test mules, but they are literally rolling chassis with roll cages and random car parts slapped together so they wont look anything like the real deal.
Looks like they delivered today!
I literally said yesterday it’s 5 o’clock somewhere… tomorrow in response to the prototype tease and email sent at 5:02pm
perfect
The Slate Truck Is Two Feet Shorter Than Ford Maverick but Has a Bigger Bed — The Drive
Slate, the new electric car firm rumored to be backed by Jeff Bezos, wants to revolutionize the pickup segment with an electric truck that costs less than $20,000 after federal incentives.
Maybe we can smuggle them over to you like the Canadians did with whiskey for us Americans during prohibition!
I though Jay Gatsby did that for us? With the Mafia. Lol
What’s that site about?
I don’t know if anyone has found the Also mobility website, so i thought I would share!
It’s Rivian’s skunkworks micro mobility company
Some people thought they were e-bikes at first since their website is kind of vague but there have been some photos taken in NYC of some Amazon vehicles that look like Tuk Tuks you pedal.
Here is a video of one someone took.
I’ve seen similar things (videos, articles, prototypes) over the last few years. Are we sure that’s what “also” is? Seems a bit overhyped if that’s all they’re talking about.
Cool. I’m hoping to do the North America half of the pan America roadtrip in this. I’m also working on visiting all 63 national parks. Either way, by the end, my Traveler will end up being well traveled. : )
There is definitely a market for this. It’s not much more expensive than many side by side UTVs. Lots of governments, universities, security, maintenance, etc could use this. I’m liking it more and more for specific use cases.
Visually I don’t like this but maybe it will spur SM to make a dumbed down 2-door that actually looks good. Do it as a BEV like slate but also do a slightly extended bed version and slide the Harvester under for an extended range. Even if $5K more as a mid level model it would likely sell and look good
this is an opinion based question that has nothing to do with Scout, but could help Scout out in the market: Will R2 make push Rivian to be as successful as Tesla and Lucid?
We all know Rivian has struggled, bankruptcy rumors, and more. But with R2 on the line for 2026 and it being Rivians first US average priced vehicle(45k-65k), and not at a premium price(75k-90k). I think it will be Rivians big break through. Into the future EV buyers and market.

It depends on whether Rivian can sell the R2 at a profit. We shall see. It took Tesla 17 years to make a profit. Lucid is not a success. They lost $300,000 on every car they sold last year (their new Gravity seems to be a great product and will help). Rivian would benefit by licensing its zonal architecture and software to other companies.
Would agree but now that VW has a huge interest in the zonal I suspect they would prefer to make competition spend R&D money of their own to help level the playing field
