Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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 said publicly that we have more reservations for EREV than we do for BEV. That said, the final production sequence still needs to be nailed down before we make any official announcements on rollout timing. As most of you know, we started development of our BEV first. EREV is no small project, given the additional complexity, additional parts and software involved. Meaning? Development is still moving, so while we work to go to market, timing will be everything. Obviously, if we have a strong reservation response to EREV, we want to try and offer that sooner than later. But BEV will still be offered as well. More details will come as we get closer to market launch.
Well business is business and money needs to be made. I couldn’t imagine delaying BEV reservations terribly long cause wouldn’t it make more sense to focus on reservations over backstock? Since there is a high likelihood of a large portion of reservations, not flipping to order orders.
 
So, is the article wrong or not official? Either way, it’s good to see Scout on the road sooner than later. I’ll keep holding out for the Traveler Electrall for me and and get the Terra Harvester for business a little sooner.
Also for those that are undecided I hope we get specs around the same time so it’s easy to compare the two to help with decision making.

Thanks Jamie :).

My first thought was actually this as well. That if anything, the EREV was likely behind the BEV in terms of when it started development. But with the bulk of reservations being harvester, it makes sense.

But it sounds like the article isn't based on a new interview then?

Absolutely, I hope this is true. That even with one model available before the others, that they'll release capabilities, prices, etc of both the harvester and BEV options.

Otherwise you'd have to lock in without knowing which thing best suits your needs.

The article said Scott was in San Francisco. Was he there today? I think this is new.

And yes we need to be able to compare features and cost and I know they cant say exactly but are we looking at a difference in release of weeks or months or what?

It’s like when I ask the cost of something and someone says they don’t have an exact cost. My question is always $50, $500 or $5000. They usually provide a ballpark. So if we can even get a ballpark of how long between the two that would be helpful.
