R2 Launch Watch

  • 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.
Yeah-Europeans like that too and not a fan of majority of US drivers/passengers carry large Yeti/(name favorite brand) beverage holders and that needs to be accounted for this day and age
I'm an exceptionally well-hydrated person, but I can't figure out the desire to carry a 55-gallon drum of my beverage of choice. Maybe it's for exercise??

I think it’s a convenience thing and/or a gotta have the newest trend on beverage container thing. I tend to use the 24 or 32 ounce sized cups which aren’t really that big compared to others but jamming one in a pop out cup holder ring is a disaster waiting to happen

I remember those chintzy pop-outs from my BMW. Definitely a disaster mixing jumbo liquid with twin-turbo coupe.

Oh, and a pet peeve complaint about both Rivian models - they have the pop out cup holder trays even in the front. I think that's just a terrible design. It feels so frail and fiddly. I always have some kind of beverage with me, and not having just permanent built in cupholders in the console seems silly to me. Especially in a car as big as the R1.
I have a R1 and I dont think the front cup holders are frail or fiddly at all. In fact, they are more than sturdy enough to survive the abuse my wife puts them through with her Stanley all weekend :ROFLMAO: But I also like that they retract too so we can utilize the center space floor area at times, and they don't get dirty with interior vehicle debris and collect that mystery gunk cupholders seem to attract lol
