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.

Seems I’m already driving a Scout sized vehicle!
Looking forward to being able to play with a configurator & see how much damage I can do right off the bat (cause I did a lot with the R1S - lol). And then of course compare to Scout when that's available.
Me too. I’m dying to know how the Scout is going to work. Is it like Rivian where the trim comes with whatever and there aren’t many options to add or like BMW where it’s infinite options and packages.
We need a BMW type configurator but make it have less packages. Because you add one thing it adds ten.
I am hoping for some really cool options and packages! @Jamie@ScoutMotors would you happen to know when we might see a configurator pop up on the website?
The “war on buttons” approach is a huge turn off for me.
100000% agree.
I love most of the rest of it , and rivians in general (although, not the "they're super expensive to repair" bit).
Funny enough, the one review I've read so far, was about how the haptic scroll wheels didn't work for the reviewer as of their first experience with them (I think it was Insideevs? Maybe it was Electreks?).
I agree about the war on buttons, but this seems to be the best compromise since you can change climate control settings via the haptic scroll wheels instead of using a screen. So there are actually more control Via "buttons" with that new steering wheel than there were previously.
Extremely jealous that you got to touch and sit on one!
There were roped off at the Stock Yards
It’s because it was such a small event. And believe me I asked permission. And kept thinking “dear god, don’t hurt the Traveler”.
Deep down, RJ wants to do kisses with Scouts. I firmly believe this. I want to meet him someday and ask him what food trucks he got lunch from when he was a grad student and found out if we ever got food poisoning from the same ones. He was there when I was there.
I'm not sure everyone realizes that the scroll wheels on the R2 steering wheel, are also "BUTTONS"... And those 2 buttons work for almost all the buttons and functions that you would most commonly use (as you scroll the wheel). You can simply scroll and press the scroll wheel - just like a regular old button.
This is an interesting implementation because it caters to an entirely new / younger buyer segment that grew up with things like haptics on remote controllers for video games and scroll/click wheels on a computer mouse or a touch pad, for example. Its sorta brilliant actually.
If you have no idea what the hell I am talking about, watch this video and start at the 9:25 minute mark:
If you have two hands on the wheel and can scroll and click through menus right in front of your face, you've got a pretty intuitive and streamlined interface for users, AND you still get the 2 physical stalks with all of those standard controls.
I would liken it to flying a B2 bomber with this interface:
