Hey there Scouters. I think with the manufacturer direct sales we may see a more affordable brand that we expect. Let's wait and see and not be so negative before we know what the numbers really are. Keep good thoughts about it.
Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

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.
Hey! A man after my own heart. I’m on here all the time repeating over and over, faith and patience.
Pure BEV Terra up to 8.8% LFG!!!And the Pure BEV Terra is back up .1 to 8.7%coming down the straightaway.
Hell yeah!Pure BEV Terra up to 8.8% LFG!!!
The lithium mining site in Nevada is a Tesla project, I don't know if that means the lithium will be able to be sold to other companies for their batteries, or just for Tesla specifically.
My company actually sold them a bunch of equipment for the mine site that they had to send us their "Tesla Red" paint for all of it. Normally everything we make we paint green.
Put my deposit down for the SUV extended range. Not in a big rush because my current vehicle is good for a few more years (Acura MDX Sport Hybrid with +90,000 miles).
My only concern is service after the sale living in NM. I'm assuming the I.C.E. engine "could" be serviced at a VW dealership? I've always had a negative feeling with VW engines with carbon build-up with D.I., being overly complicated compared to USA/Japanese engines, and needing specialized tools and a lot of labor to work on them. Not to mention any Scout warranty work, EV component servicing, and applying Technical Service Bulletins fixes w/ and w/o software updates.

WUT? Pure BEV Terra up to 9%? Someone put out the FIRE!Pure BEV Terra up to 8.8% LFG!!!
Hi again. I’m not counting on any service happening at a VW dealership. I don’t see how warranty work would occur through them. (Especially with them suing right and left trying to make Scout sell their vehicles through VW dealerships).
SM has stated they will have physical locations and mobile techs. So similar to Rivian and Tesla.
Hopefully, I will have a physical location and mobile tech options in ABQ, NM. Too far to travel to Phoenix, Denver, or Dallas if they don't have this option in my state at the time of estimated delivery in +2027. I'm anticipating the I.C.E. extended range engine will need servicing at least once a year compared to the EV components.
I share your concerns, also living in rural NM. Fiesta VW in Albuquerque is 30 miles away.
I am all in for the all electric vehicles. I have reservations for the Terra and Traveler. I love my gas powered vehicles but it is time for me to move to the next phase. All my friends who have electric vehicles have no regrets. Sign me up. I just hope Scout produces some of them early on since the majority of people are wanting the Harvester edition. Go Scout!!!
I've had my order in for a Harvester for some time now. For what I do, the gas generator makes a ton of sense. I've got a two year old Land Cruiser, which I love, so there's not necessarily any immediacy for me. My concern, though, is that if first releases end up getting pushed out a year or more, a lot of customers may bail, which can create an issue for the brand. Not an easy undertaking starting from scratch, but I think Rivian is a pretty cautionary tale. It's taken them far too long to get the R2 and R3 to market. Just think it hurts the momentum of the brand. I also have an order in for an R2, but just got tired of waiting and ultimately like the styling and the ability to add a generator on the Scout better. A couple of years is a very long time in the auto business.
I had my reservation set for a fully electric Terra, then recently made the switch to the fully electric Traveler (this week).
Basically, I started thinking about the vehicle I loved driving the most: a 1996 Lexus LX450 (took it over 300,000 miles). The LX had a split tailgate just like the Traveler which gives me a nostalgic connection to the bonfire parties of my teens and twenties (growing up in northwestern CT we did not have much to do). While I doubt I will be taking my family to bonfire parties, I can see us using that back area as a post-hike hangout. From there the list grew as to why I would be happier in an SUV more than a pickup, but I can sum it up with a simple sentence: While I love the look of the Terra, I can actually see my family in the Traveler making memories.
Plus, if we ever do a family road trip back out east, we will be prepared should we happen across a bonfire in the woods of Litchfield County, CT. Who knows: Crazier things have happened!

I'd love to have a truck; but, I would want to treat it like a truck. I had a 2001 Ranger I would take to the bulk landscape material depot. The 7' bed was just large enough for a skid steer dump bucket to drop gravel/mulch/dirt in it. I can' t imagine every doing that to the Terra. And, if I have to use a trailer, I can easily do that with the Traveler. I'm a big SUV fan - I REALLY miss my manual '92 Pathfinder but rust won out. I bought a '06 Pathfinder but it wasn't the same..
When I was in a band in the early 2000s our bassist had an early 90s Pathfinder (forest green, stick shift) - one of the most surprisingly smooth clutches I've ever used in a manual - plus you could really pack in the gear ha
WUT? 9%???
The new PURE BEV TERRA Line Chart has been released and it looks like this
LFG!!!!

LFG!!!!At last check, Scout said it was an 87% reservation rate for Harvester, so that tells me we have a gross oversampling of BEV'ers (pronounced "beavers") on the forum here by a full 90%! With election interference being the phrase of the day, maybe the BEV'ers are voting for both BEVs and skewing the number in hopes Scout will produce the BEV and EREV versions at the same time.
Okay, it's too hot today for this tinfoil hat...

We are in for one BEV Traveler, and one EREV Traveler. I don't personally want or need the EREV but fiancee likes the idea. I don't think she knows that Harvester will be more expensive. My sincere hope is that Scout isn't locked into a specific battery chemistry yet. If they are pushing the release of the BEV I hope they will be prepared to move to the latest tech that still keeps the pricing in line. Range and charging times are improving by the month. If you have 18 months before production starts, let's make sure we aren't behind the times or obsolete before the cars deliver.
