That’s the way I read it too. Someone just gave a prompt of write an article about the new Scout Traveler and Terra and that’s what it spit out. The way it had it sectioned was very AI like.

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.
Like what is going on with this paragraph?
"Pure electric vehicles experience battery range loss in cold weather, high elevation, heavy towing conditions, and technical rock crawling, which are all elements an owner would typically subject their Scout to. Charging stations remain rare in remote wilderness areas. Scout's EREV system solves range anxiety during rural travel. The vehicle delivers roughly 150 miles of pure electric driving for daily commuting."
1. EVs experience range loss at high elevation? Quick search says "that's AI!"

We should normalize saying "That's A.I." as the 21st century version of "That's BS". The kids are already on it.
Some Kids Will Never Think AI Is Cool
“I think it should stand for ‘artificial idiot,’” one 9-year-old says. Here’s why kids of all ages are calling AI “disgusting” and “creepy.”
"On Bluesky, parents bond over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s BS.” "
I sure hope the Scout Motors vehicles won't include mandatory BS, I mean, AI.
My 7 and 11 year olds are all over it. They're always telling me, "That's AI!" Haha
My kids are in their 20s and they don’t like it either. I noticed a new shirt in the wash my son got. The kids are all right.
Shirt is a little much but I’m not too far from that mindset. And yes-article read very AI to me as well but so does nearly everything these days. And if your company is anything like mine they are telling us to find ways to use AI to be more efficient. Have to say, at least to date, it doesn’t work anywhere close to accurate when it comes to architectural design
We've found it to be very useful in architectural design. We laugh so hard at the results that we all have a better day and work harder as a result.
Fair point. My coworker and I do send each other a lot of failed attempts and laugh about it.We've found it to be very useful in architectural design. We laugh so hard at the results that we all have a better day and work harder as a result.
Thought this conversion from 2-D to 3-D was good until I realized Scout and other vehicles were all messed up. So it gets the building fundamentals down and the Scout but misses the obvious basics. So frustrating

It's amazing how quickly places like Instagram, Pinterest, etc have filled up with AI pictures of houses. So many customers bring in pictures of what they like and clearly haven't taken a deep dive into the dysfunction they're sending me. It's more of a feeling thing. I'd be curious to see how many people note that AI has retrofit itself into older vehicles and is driving them willy-nilly on your streets. I'll be no more than one in ten would even notice.
It's interesting that it inverted the black corner windows. Wondering if the wording threw it off. What programs are you guys using? We've been trying a few out with varied success. Some are stronger in certain areas so we're starting to mix and match a bit.
Also, for your entertainment...
Full self-driving “by the end of the year.”
Every year for 10 years.
And people keep buying his nonsense. I will never understand it.

They are only making 1,000 of these. I really hope Scout doesn’t go down this path. If there’s a special trim package let the people who want it get it, don’t limit it to basically 20 per state.

I have absolutely found this to be the best way to tokenmaxx and keep the token police at bay. Everyday, submit something to the AI tools that can run in the background and sometimes I get some AI slop that I can share for it's comedy value, the same way some movies are so bad they are funny.We've found it to be very useful in architectural design. We laugh so hard at the results that we all have a better day and work harder as a result.
Honestly, as someone who does not do architecture design, it would take me quite some effort to spot the errors. As far as the Scout parked facing the wrong direction, the biggest mistake is that should have been something like G-Wagon. Just this last weekend I saw a Expedition or Tahoe or something parked facing the wrong direction on the street between me and the beach and I noticed the parking police had already ticketed it.
I smiled.
I would argue that it doesn’t get the fundamentals.
For example: BEVs don’t get worse efficiency at altitude. In fact, they get better efficiency at altitude because the density of air is lower and at speed, air density matters for drag. This would be true of gassy cars too, but they’re so much less efficient when the air-fuel mixture is bad that the engine runs so much more poorly and the improvement in drag doesn’t overcome the worsening efficiency in burning the fuel.
At my elevation, drag is reduced by almost 20% compared with driving at sea level. The final efficiency is less because other factors aren’t changed.
After a million+ miles driving, I regularly see random crap happening on the roads that I never expected to see. A computer can't be programmed to handle every event, so until computers actually understand what they're seeing, self-driving will continue to be vaporware.
What is the car supposed to do when it comes upon cops with 800-lb pigs on leashes on the interstate?
20 years ago, the piece I titled simply "Pigs":
Exactly.
And the stans proclaim “a million miles driven on T’s full-self-driving! It’s solved all the problems!”
But those training data are only from very limited, specific geographic areas. And, more importantly, each year, humans in the US drive more than a 3 trillion miles.
A million miles of FSD is less than 1/1000 of 1/1000 of the number of miles driven by humans each year.
