Scout delayed??

  • 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.
The word prioritize does not overly worry me. It does not necessarily mean that production will be exclusively Traveler EREV - and it does make sense that more effort will go into EREV production given that they currently represent 87% of reservations. Likewise, currently the Traveler has 2x the reservations of the Terra.

If I really want to dissect the meaning of the word, it could even simply mean more effort - which is honestly necessary as the EREV is more complicated.

Since the BEV started development years prior to the EREV I wonder if the priority is because the EREV is behind in development and needs to catch up so to speak.
 
Before people get too depressed, the Scout FAQ still says production starts in 2027 (FAQ link). The main change is that they now specifically state that they will "prioritize EREV models for first production." I don't know if prioritizing Traveler is also new (FAQ link), but they are "prioritizing Traveler™ SUV production first, with Terra™ pickup production to follow soon after."

So, Traveler EREV orders will be the first deliveries in 2028.
I was just coming here to post something similar. The Press Release from October 24, 2024 states, "Initial production targeted to start in 2027 based on current projections and is subject to change. The anticipated production date is an estimate and may be affected by various factors. Actual availability may differ."
I also seem to recall reading something about the time I made my reservation that the estimated delivery would be late 2027 into 2028. I will see if I can track down where I read that. Therefore, I never expected to receive my Scout before 2028.

It was always known that the bulk of the deliveries would start in 2028 and any in 2027 would be limited.
 
I am not being snarky. i think it was Thanksgiving break of 2022 that I joined. i honestly do not think I will see the Scout I want until 2030. Hopefully that is wrong and it will be sooner. fingers crossed.
Yep. I just checked my profile and my join date shows:
"Joined Dec 21, 2022" was lurking around before that.

And further behind due to late start

I say ‘27 but in my head I think “Santa will leave it under the Christmas tree in ‘27. So basically ‘28 but I have to stay positive
