Very sleek and implemented! Only think I would add it would be nice to have an area of the bumper with an integrated step to access the roof rack.

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.
Yes, from what I have learned on the forum that’s the most cost effective and efficient way to charge your vehicle. Let it charge overnight and you wake up with a “full tank” every morning.
The door hinge is blocking the actual charging port in these pictures.
After hearing some many complaints about the R2 charge door panel alignment just look at that charge door panel alignment its absolutely perfect!
It will have to have V2L (vehicle to load) capability but looking at the photo showing the outlets it appears it will.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors so do we get to have those sweet magnets? Lol guess the door needs so help after all these shows?
Jamie said recently that the charge door is subject to getting a facelift, because that style just won’t be able to handle the daily abuse
I love seeing these photos and reading first impressions - these vehicles are so well thought out with buttons in the right places without clutter, screens covering the right functionality.
The hinge on the tire carrier is no joke.
Also interesting how white the metallic steel color looks in this photo.

They've got some pretty beefy anchor points under there too. I see threaded holes in the body, so the mount points should be removable, but it likely won't be easy.

Well doesn’t that tend to confirm the fact that it’s not intended to be removable? We would either order with or without. With all the way!
Oh, definitely not easily removable or swappable, but appears to be technically doable without cutting. From wiring to a new mask, adding a carrier to a non-carrier vehicle wouldn't be easy. Now, will you be able to order a vehicle with a carrier and take it off at the hinge/pin, leaving the rest of the structure intact? No clue, but hopefully.
That’s the other thing I hadn’t considered. If you remove it your lighted logo goes away. If you order one without do you still get a lighted logo on the back?
That’s a great story for life memories. Oh how we learn the hard way sometimesIt's a fairly funny story - the '93 Pathfinder was my first manual, and my first new-vehicle purchase (post college, first real job, etc.). The term SUV, if it was used, wasn't quite as pervasive around then. My friend and I drove to VT to go skiing. We pulled up to a skiing outfitter to look around. Not long after, some guy walks in and asks "who has a red truck." I replied I don't have a truck but I have a red Pathfinder. Few minutes later he says, "whoever had a red truck, it rolled down the hill into a field across the road." Friend and I looked at each other, then ran out to discover my Pathfinder sitting pretty in the middle of a snow covered field across the road. Lesson learned and an opportunity for 4WL(I HAD set the parking brake so I'm sure it was a slow roll).
That thought lead me to this one- Any idea where the third brake light will be? If it's high on the hatch, you wouldn't be able to see it if you drive with the rear hatch open (if that's even possible). If you can't drive with the rear hatch open, how am I supposed to transport longer things? I definitely need to be able to transport long stuff, sticking out the rear.
95% of time I call it SUV. The rest is general “trucks” as I may be talking about both of them
We have the new plate design as of about 18-24 months ago now. The genius designers changed the zeros to have a diagonal slant through it (old school). But now the turnpike readers can’t tell if they are zeros or 8’s. Created a messIn some future-focused states, vinyl stick-on plates are legal to use.

The reflective vinyl tags are allowed through a special DMV program.sfstandard.com
It was said in passing to me it might be offset or on the wheel carrier but since not everyone is getting carrier that’s tough to plan for so guessing it’s still a bit up in the air. The signature is off center so why not the plate too ?
Saw this post the other day showing potential third brake light placement. Also, I think the lighting will be signature enough and I think there is a chance we don't get the lit up Scout emblem on the spare tire carrier because if people order one without it, the cost of manufacturing surely goes up having to make two different harnesses or worse two different structural setups.
