  • 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.
If that is accurate, the maximum "horse power" would apply to both. The HP of an EV is mainly determined by the electric motors, and the motors will almost certainly be the same for both the BEV and EREV.
I think the discharge rate of the different battery chemistries could play a role, limiting power on the Harvester models. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I swear I saw somewhere that the EREV would have a slower 0-60 than the BEV. I think it was 3.5 vs. 4.5. My guess is its because of the LFP battery in the Harvester and NMC in the BEV. See @speedrye's comment above. If 800HP gets you 4.5 seconds, imagine the HP on the BEV. It has to be close to 1,000.

As it relates to the motors, Rivian has a "performance" package that boosts HP by about 100 HP. It's available on my dual motor R1T (I don't have it). So it's possible to boost HP without adding motors.

I remember seeing that time difference as well.

Your 0-60 numbers are correct. I'm hoping the Harvester has the same hardware underneath (motors, inverters, axles, etc). It'll be slow, but the drivetrain should last a long time if it's designed to take the beating of the BEV's power.
 
Sometimes I take a pause. It’s just crazy to me that we’re at a point where a 4.5 second 0-60mph time could be considered slow.

I swear about 20 years ago only cars like a Z51 C6 or a BMW M6 were hitting numbers like that.
Haha, I literally was reading speedrye's comment about that being slow and had the exact same thought before I read your reply.

Those numbers for timing I think were just early numbers. I’m sure they are probably different now

I've been driving a faster car for almost 20 years, so I'm definitely biased. The 0-60 is okay, but the 60mph-100mph range is where I always feel I need more power. 800hp is solid for a 3,600lb car, but in a 6,500lb SUV with lots of rotating mass, it's merely acceptable. 😁

Possibly but the larger battery in the BEV might push more power than the smaller one in the Harvester. I also don't think the Harvester will approach anything close to 800 HP when the engine is running. I could be wrong though.

I dont have the boost in my Rivian either, but I did get it in my Long Range Model 3 and I was seriously impressed with the difference.

I think 800HP is really nice sounding number for the Scout vehicles. I would certainly hope its not less.

I currently have the most powerful vehicle I've ever had at 385hp, 387tq. So that sucker can be quick to me.

My '97 Honda Magna probably is way down on power to a lot of bikes too, but that thing still can get my rear end up on the back seat from a standstill... only did that once, learned my lesson.
