The Scout Times

  • 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.
Scout Motors: We Aren’t Delayed or in Trouble. Stop Saying So.

Another article about the validation vehicles. I found this quote interesting:
"The company refers to the extended-range hybrids as Harvesters internally, but that will not be part of the official name. One idea being tossed around is calling it the Traveler H, however."
Traveler H. Hmmmmm…. So will the filler door still have that graphic I wonder. I love that little combine graphic.
 
Definitely don't care for the name, and I don't care what they do with the door, so long as it's far away from my charging door, haha. I'd even be fine with a retro chrome gas cap off the side.

You know, I haven't thought about this since the launch but your comment triggered the memory. When they announced the names of the Traveler and Terra, my wife, who works in fashion and is thus, WAY more in touch with this stuff than I am, said that the Traveler name was "meh" and the Terra name "sucks." I wonder if Scout is doing some market research and found that "Harvester" is not being met with good reaction. I have to say though, I don't like "Traveler H." If they are not going with Harvester, please find something better than that.

I’m wondering what the trim names will be. Are they going to go with numbers like there was a Scout II so would this be the Scout Traveler III. Or they had the Scout 80 so would a model be the Scout Traveler 80?

Agree 100%. Just stamp the fuel door and leave it at that. Seems like majority like that detail. Why muck it up with a bunch of words. Create a little icon on rear. Make it a tipped pair of batters for the BEV and a single (double a style ) battery, a +symbol and a little engine block, maybe the are embossed into a little chrome rectangle. To be honest I’m sick of lettering all over cars. I’m sure the first Model T’s weren’t covered with letters and ford logos
