Scout Concepts in New York City September 18-19, 2025

  • 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.

"Traveler will be in new color for NYC. I am the lead on the retheme of the vehicle and reviewed it Friday. Already painted and will start reassembly after labor day."

Retheme sounds like more that paint to me. But, who knows.
Oh thanks for finding that. Hmmm. I wonder what that means. We just have to wait and see, but the waiting truly is the hardest part!

If this is a "retheme" for display in NYC, perhaps its a more 'urban' spec - maybe without the spare tire carrier for a (relatively) more compact footprint? I'd certainly like to see the Traveler concept without the added clutter.

I'm in NYC w/ Boy Scout troop 10/11-12, oh well.

Any notable reason why Scout hasn't done a (public) display of the concepts vic No. VA HQ? Catering provided by Fogo de Chão? Seems like a winner.

An urban feel would be a cool idea and appeal to a larger and maybe younger demographic

I like the "urban" idea would love to see the Traveler without the rear tire carrier as that will fit in my garage best. Having said that, what I really would like is Scout to make it removable. :)

That makes sense, I can appreciate the need to not have the rear tire carrier in order to fit in the garage. Hopefully they give us options since we’ll all be using them differently.

I have to say though, I really do love the look of the spare on the rear. I also love the insurance of a full-size spare onboard considering the amount of time I spend in the middle of nowhere.

Clearly an urban spec for NYC display is the next logical step - here's a native feature that needs to be shown -

Well we would hate to loose you. From the get go it was said these are 2027 vehicles, please have some patients. Oh ya, and your reservation deposit is refundable.

Being that these vehicles aren’t even finalized in design and testing there is no logical way for SM to put costs to things. Perhaps if tariffs weren’t wreaking havoc on metals and parts they might have a better sense. Being on here nearly 3 years is a long time for me to stay focused on something but to expect them to have all the pricing you want when the actual first production model isnt completed in the new factory that isn’t completed is asking a little much in my opinion. They said starting under $60k which will probably be a decently outfitted base model. From there look at Bronco or similar SUVs and see what their options packages run and do a little research and you can surely guesstimate what a Scout will cost. SM has also openly commented that these will run $20K less than competitors so look at a similarly priced Rivian and make an educated guess. The forum obviously can’t stop you from leaving but to assume everyone is going to leave is a bit presumptuous IMO. As @dreamweaver noted it’s always been advertised as a 2027 so in theory that is 2 years away. Heck-midterms could flip completely and set things up to be more cooperative in every way to these new EV’s and change things yet again.
As an example-I’m in building and design and can’t get our steel beam vendors to hold a quote longer than a week and that’s the in stock. If they have to bring it in the price is good for 48 hours. That’s a huge impact on SM and my guess is they don’t want to end up like Rivian and commit pricing now then jack it up 20% in 2 years
