Electrall is fun, but I'm not sure if SM could use it because it appears to still be a part of the International Harvester brand (though unused), which is currently owned by CNH/Case IH.

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 know they have alot of EREV reservations, but if im honest (and maybe its juts my more cynical opinion) I feel like BEV reservations are more likely to convert to orders compared to EREV, atleast outside of this forum since the majority here are actively engaged and interested.
Scout Motors Factory to Cost 50% More Than VW Budgeted, Faces Scrutiny | EV
Scout Motors will invest $3 billion in its upcoming US plant for electric trucks, 50% more than originally planned, the company confirmed following a report by German media outlet Handelsblatt.

Looks like the inside of whatever they are revealing on the 10th.
I don't really understand this article, the wording "“Our investments have grown as we’ve realized this vision,” they added, stating that the previously announced $2 billion was a “guaranteed minimum investment” under the agreement signed by the company with the state of South Caroline" here makes it seem like WV was very aware that the project will cost more then $2billion. Additionally with the cost of Aluminum and other construction inputs increasing by over 25% this just sorta makes sense (not to mention the other building they are throwing down lol)Scout Motors Factory to Cost 50% More Than VW Budgeted, Faces Scrutiny | EV

This article is titled as a hit piece but goes on to show that Scout/VW increased their investment as the scope of the project increased? And the scrutiny is the previously-discussed shortsightedness of SC government.
Is this open air or a glass roof? I'm holding my expectations low but looks interesting. I like that it was rear climate control with captain seats which leads me to believe it's a 3rd row vehicle and definitely not a truck.
I for one am SHOCKED that things get more expensive SHOCKED I TELL YOU
that being said I am very thankful that my company went overboard on our new factory we our building (plus our world works differently)
That’s all they showed. Just that picture. I guess we will known next week.
3 row with a glass roof. Looks pretty. I like that the interior isn’t so black and bulky like a lot of the Toyota interiors. I don’t need a 3 row so won’t change my mind but I can see the appeal.
Can't tell size. But 3rd row access is still an issue.
I can guarantee you the exterior of that vehicle is going to be hideous. Which is unfortunate!

I’ve been feeling that same way. I suspect a lot of Hatvesters are “interesting-I’ll reserve one and follow along to see if it’s something I can live with since they aren’t offering ICE” whereas BEV res holders are committed to BEV and want this type of vehicle. Your point is very legit and take rates will be interesting when the time comes.
