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.
I'm thankfully in a low pressure situation when it comes to getting the next daily driver. I still love my 2016 Audi A6 which I bought 10 years ago next month and I'm only doing about 6K a year on it thanks to being a remote worker plus owning several other cars so I can cruise along until 2030ish just fine.
Given we're still 4 years out there's plenty of reasons I could cancel: my needs/wants could change before then, another car comes out that I want more than Scout, I don't like what Scout releases for xyz reasons, my Audi dies or gets totaled by some idiot forcing a purchase of something else, or I just decide to keep the Audi even longer. Plenty of reasons to drop out but I'm holding on because I like the Scout and I think the utility it would provide the family fleet can be justified (kids+kid stuff, random haulage, road trips, camp/ski trips, tow the classic cars, etc.).
I didn't get that vibe. At least in the interview I saw he confirmed a "high $50K range" then justified the price by saying it'll be "loaded to the gills" highlighting locking diffs and towing capabilities, then compared it to cars with $70-80K price ranges.
The one thing Scott didn't confirm was what power train comes with the base model. Given the reservation list has now grown to 220K people with 87% wanting EREV, my guess is the "optional" Harvester has now become standard.
Anyone want to start a thread with all the links from the last few days?
Everyone’s vibe radars get different readings. Mine comes from knowing the face language of auto executives.
That was hinted at at one of the events. Was hoping it wasn’t true but alas-there it is. Loved the concept port so much
Just keep it here. Easier to follow the chain and many are already here looking
Thanks for noting that Jamie. How has internal outlook been after that media event? Seems like a solid positive at least on social media sites
I just watched the other video that showed this area in more detail with a much better perspective. That thing sticks all the way out to the body, so it definitely looks like it'll pretty much be a matching panel to the gas door on the other side. I was thinking it didn't come out as much earlier, but the video in post 11,906 (holy crap) pretty much tells us what's happening.
I so wish I were more like that. I love my R1T. Just absolutely love it. Best vehicle I've every owned or driven. But I've had it for two years and I've got the itch so bad it's killing me.
The gasket interface "sealed" it for me
.I'm glad to have a bit more room for plugs, honestly, perhaps folks with traveler will be able to use a variety of 240 plugs now- and it allows for the door to be bit more robust. Rivian R2 door is very small and incredibly flimsy.
I was hoping the change was to give space for 240v plugs too. I'm also perfectly fine with a simple hinged door with no lock, motor or fanciness.The gasket interface "sealed" it for me

That Mystery SUV Spied In Moab Is An Audi-Bodied Test Mule For The New Scouts - Jalopnik
Our spies caught the same prototype at a secret VW Group test facility in Germany, resurrecting rumors that Audi wants its own version of the Scout Traveler.

So this is the Frankenstein test mule. @Jamie@ScoutMotors so are some in Germany and other areas? Because of different weather types and testing?
Ford and Jeep ought to be worried by that.
That’s why bronco made the filson bronco with similar colors. They just wanted to show they make colors too. lol.
And jeep pretty much made their customers move out.
Honestly, it's a wonder Jeep still sells as many Wranglers as they do considering it's widely known as an unreliable vehicle.
