Oh that paint shop sure does look pretty.

Everything is coming along great.

I mean, I've said this before. But this is like, an actual enclosed building, that is starting to look like an actual factory.

And whats more, the first welded bodies mean that work is actually starting to be done (given, its early stages, and test stuff, validating equipment/etc), which is huge.

deliveries in 2028 are starting to feel not as far off .

I'm still saving my pennies! (metaphorically of course. No more pennies are being produced).

Never ceases to amaze me how big this is and I remember the empty site like it was just yesterday

Any plans to build a paved and offroad road course testing areas? I hoping we have an opportunity for a factory visit to test drive demo Scouts with an instructor lead events.

That would be amazing!

I have a couple cups of game tokens that surely spend like company scrip: wonder what those are worth?

They just recently posted a video of Scout mountain and discussed some sort of “adventure” but nothing stated in stone as of yet

Nice!! Looking legit! So much for vaporware

Looking at this, would someone say 50% completed or more or less as far as it relates to a production building facility?

I love my bright garage lights, but seeing those sweet vertical light strips every few feet on the walls in the paint shop make me realize I need an upgrade. There was also a NASCAR chassis dyno just down the road from me that had recessed channels in the concrete floor for up-firing lighting with clear covers to protect the lights. I might need to bust out the concrete saw and do it all at once. Pretty sure I'd glow in the dark afterwards!

I’m going with 80% because some areas are actively working with full set up and other areas still are being set up. It’s like the fire power of a fully operational battle station. $hits happening but the stormer troopers haven’t finished decorating

Maybe I should start a new thread, but I'll post this here instead.

Am I the only one who's seriously thinking about canceling?

I'm already in the double-minority camp by wanting the Terra EV. It's a great-looking truck, and Scout Motors definitely tugged at my heartstrings. That's why I placed my reservation on 10/29/24.

This isn't about the factory timeline—I understand that part. My frustration is Scout's decision to prioritize the Traveler EREV. I understand the business case behind it, but it increasingly feels like early Terra EV reservation holders have been pushed farther back while others continue to move ahead.

I reserved a Terra EV because it's the truck I wanted. But at some point, I need a truck, and I can't wait indefinitely. If Scout continues down this path, they're going to lose customers like me—not because we stopped wanting the product, but because life goes on and eventually we have to make a purchase.

To be completely honest, I haven't canceled my reservation yet. But I'm actively researching other brands, and I will be buying a truck well before 2030.

Will it be a Scout? That decision is largely in Scout's hands. I genuinely hope it is, but if I'm being honest, they're steadily losing my interest.

Keeping my Terra BEV res. But I do want to drive one first. More time to save… but then I’m old, boring, and retired.

Tough for any of us to say what's going to happen when deployments begin, and highly recommend holding on to your reservation. Like you've said they are more than likely prioritizing the Traveler based on the reservation data, but they won't completely disregard building Terras.

At this point the best we can all do is keep supporting the team as they push through production and trust the leadership team are working to fulfill the demand they're observing.

And also this is transportation. If someone needs to buy/lease a vehicle that does not mean SM has failed in some way. Just means you need a truck now and maybe a Terra is the next truck purchase.

While I'm not in the Terra BEV club (not that there's anything wrong with that), I'm definitely in the old, boring, retired club!

I love the Terra but it won't fit in my garage...

Speaking of fitting in the garage. I was walking the dogs yesterday and one of the neighbors pulled his truck out. He had a Ford F-150 Raptor and an Acura SUV parked in the 2 car side of his 3 car garage. I admit I’m worried about fitting the Traveler in my garage but seeing that I don’t think I should be.

I’m still hoping I can fit in the single side of our 3 car garage. It’s 95 wide. If I can fold the mirrors while parking I think I can do it.

I think you'll be fine...
