Scout Concepts in Cambridge, MA, October 16-18, 2026

They look good!

Can’t wait to see them, when it’s time for test drives. Because none of these events fit my schedule what so ever and I’m not taking days off. And I’m not a semi retired person

Some views from across (well-80% across the foot bridge) looking back with Harvard in the background

It looks like you guys are having a great time!
I’m jealous and excited for you guys all at the same time!

Oh-and nothing directly disclosed by we all chatted about the exterior lighting and whether warm or cool, etc.. and we were told we’d be VERY happy with the lighting. But no specifics

Interesting

Did they say what happens if it rains? What’s the precautions? I’m sure @CP1@scoutmotors doesn’t want to be scrubbing and cleaning the Scouts multiple times a day.

Completely covered by the structures.

He’s lucky I got my emotions in check after I got my first eyeful of the Traveler because I definitely got a little sand in my eye. I’m a very messy crier.

Nooooooooooo! I had my alarm set for 5:45, intending to get up, wash up, and get going so I could get an early start and go check out Mountainside and hopefully find a handicapped parking spot somewhere (I did yesterday, except today it’s in a new location with a couple of nebulous public lots). The alarm woke up my cat. It woke up my mom. It woke me up, briefly. I then went back to sleep. Looks like I picked the wrong night to try out a new sleep medication. ALAS. I can’t decide if this means I’m hosed or not. Decided I’m in no rush and worst case, I go tomorrow.

Exactly. You get there when you get there.

I gotta say, I was a little skeptical about hearing "oh wow, they look so much better in person!"

But I was wrong and will admit that. They do.

The new car smell got me. The interior really does look much better in person, and these things are going to be beasts (in a very good way). So cool to meet some of the Scout team tonite, and to meet J Alynn and Scoutsie too. Lots of fun dorking-out on Scout for an hour or two.

Super glad you got to see them finally. Being a long time R1 owner how do you feel now about the Gen 3 R1's? Have you been or are you now 100% sold on Scout? Also you didn't mention the Terra, were you able to see it as well? If so, thoughts compared to R1T?

Oh I've seen this before. I dub this the "Scout Shrug"

 

[cyure]

So who else is getting to see them for the first time today? I can’t wait to hear what you all think!! You never forget the first time you see a Scout.

I did not get the chance to see the Terra up close and personal like we did with the Traveller, but we saw enough of the interior of the Traveller to know that will not be an issue and that it is very well thought-out and perfectly "appointed" for my tastes, with a bit more interior room. The bench seat is something that I'm thinking hard about for the Terra. Sort of loved having the bench in my old Silverado 2500.

The Terra is an entirely different animal (at least from what I can tell) from the R1T. I know there are similarities, but it has a much bigger "presence" and seems to me to be a little more "no non-sense" and utilitarian than the R1T - a bit more ruggedized. I've said this before here I think, but the R1T is almost too nice for me. Feels too nice for a truck to do work or truck things so I worry about it too much. The SW and U/I UX have all been great. Support has been great, but I also have not seen anything related to the Gen3 R1T. I'm guessing

What I love about the Terra is the roll-down rear window, the bigger bed, more interior space and potentially a more traditional truck suspension that will be a bit more hardened. But that is a trade-off. The Rivian rides like a dream, but way more moving parts and complexity. The Terra will probably "feel" much more like a truck to drive. What we have seen from the U/I stuff looks good - I'm not one of those people that loves or hates screens or buttons, the mix feels appropriate. I don't have a real "deal-breaker" list based on what I have seen with the Terra so far - it all looks great,

Do you have info on the Gen3 R1's?

No, I haven't seen anything regarding the Gen3 yet. I have a feeling Rivian will keep it under wraps so R2 gets as much of the spotlight for as long as possible.
