Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

[Westfork]

Welcome to the community. Here is a picture of the Traveler frunk my husband took at Nats when the Traveler concept was Tahitian Red.

Thanks for the picture. The frunk looks very useful. Concerned with dust. I have 10 miles of gravel roads to travel when I leave home. The generator in the back underside is going to eat a lot of dust.
I have been keeping track of my local driving. Trying to see if I can make the BEV work.

There’s a thread where the people who have EVs post about their experiences and there’s a few guys on here who have purchased EVs for the first time they have threads about how it’s going.

Honestly I reserved the Harvester initially. I think it’s a great option for people who travel far frequently or go off the beaten path or don’t live in an area with lots of chargers. I’m in Illinois so that’s not an issue and with my driving pattern and learning what I have on this forum I recently switched my reservation to a BEV.

Here is one of the threads.

Thank you for being thorough and taking the time to demystify things as you do.

I was pretty skeptical about the claim but the most surprising part of your insight to me was the tire pressure being lowered by the heat transfer with the water.

I’m sure we have all had the pleasure of a tire pressure warning light greeting us on a frigid winter morning, and witnessed it disappear after a few minutes of driving.

Does the study flesh out the temperature delta as well as well as the pressure variance?

Trucks and SUVs tend to run higher pressures so it makes me wonder if they will...

I live on a 2-mile gravel road and am off-highway (forest service roads) almost every other weekend. Dust happens. I don’t own a gassy vehicle anymore, but when we did, we had to replace the air filter more regularly than typical. You’ll still have to do that if you get the Harvester.

I’m certain Scout Motors engineers understand that such an item will need to be easily accessible. Where they’ll put it is a great question and one I haven’t pondered because I have no plans to own the Harvester.

Quick thoughts:
Mid-engine and rear-engine vehicles typically have one of two routes for clean air: from the front grille or from a rear grille with a positive pressure mechanism (fan). Given that we haven’t seen any kind of grilles in the rear of the Scouts, I would expect they will feed cold, clean air in from the front. It seems to me the air filter will be up front as well. The ducts will need to be resilient and well-sealed so no contaminants are introduced along that path. It will be interesting to see what their solution is.

Hey Everyone,
Good News/ Bad News

Good News, my wife and I will be at the show on Friday and will take as many pics as possible. Please note 600 pics is not an option.
If allowed, I will get shots of the under carriage, roof rack, interior from both the front and back seats. FYI, I will be more focused on the Traveller.

Bad news, dues to an ailment that she’s going through, Rhona will not be attending the show. She’s of a certain age and I don’t want to stress her.

Oh no! I hope Rhona gets better. How old is she? She’s so sweet.

Thanks in advance for all the pictures. You would be surprised how quick they add up once you start taking them.

Thanks. she is getting better. Surprisingly quick, I might add. But we don’t know what exactly is wrong. She’s 10 1/2 and that’s pretty old for an Irish Wolfhound.

I’m getting the camera set up today to insure as good a set of snappies as I can get.

That is old for a girl her size. Our lab made it to 15. I hope she feels better soon.

So what kind of camera are you taking? My husband is a camera guy so I have to ask.

I’ve got a Nikon D3500. Nothing fancy.

I think anything like that is fancy these days. Everyone uses their phone.

I love on how they are keeping the pistol looking charger. It’s my favorite thing.

Thanks for the video…I watched the whole thing and now I feel like I need to go reserve another Scout.

You can never have too many!

Yeah-gotta say it has a modern old school feel. Almost like a gas pump nozzle
