  • 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.
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.
My R1T goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and it feels like I'm flying. I've never pressed more than half the accelerator because I don't need it. At 3.5, you're losing your lunch. I bet @R1TVT, could tell us. He's got a launch edition, which I believe were all quad motors.
 
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. 😁
Maybe I've just driven tanks or something for years, or perhaps your perception is just skewed from being a speed demon ( :p) but I have 533 HP in my R1T. It weights almost 7,500 lbs and is longer than the Traveler. That thing flies in my opinion.
 
That brings up an excellent point. If the inverter can combine the lower current from the LFP battery with the generator current, the Harvester model might be as quick as the BEV.
You just stole the words out of my mouth (no you didn't because I have no idea what you just said). But I hope you're right nonetheless!

Precisely! I’ve experienced a few vehicles in the 4 to 5 second 0-60mph range. Also a Launch Edition R1T. Realistically, anything sub 5 seconds is fun and more than plenty fast no doubt.

Would I enjoy and sometimes make use of propulsion beyond that? The answer is yes. Absolutely yes. I mean, I have to merge SAFELY onto the freeway.

It is comical not to mention those upset that the EREV will be a whole 1 second slower at 4.5 seconds for a 6000lb + death machine on wheels
