  • 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.

    Rivian Rs2 vs Scout Traveler

    Yeah, I was not getting Old Fart from OF either when I first saw it!

    List Price

    This is kind of my take as well, luxury or not, I tend to compare vehicles of similar size/type and in the same price bracket, which for the R1S, nearly all alternatives are what I would call luxury vehicles.

    when does production begin ..pLEASE HURRY UP

    It’s whether they do BEV first because they started developing it first or Harvester because it has the most orders. Hoping it’s BEV since I have the least popular order of Terra and BEV! I’m leaving towards BEV being first because I imagine less potential issues from that model initially...

    Make steering wheel sportier

    I wonder if something like that keeping everything on could be achieved using one of those aux buttons by the steering wheel, which would only be one flick of a switch too. Maybe you could even have a sub menu so it could be configured to keep everything on, just climate, or some other...

    Make steering wheel sportier

    I'm not certain, my guess would be no, since it would still start up off the regular EV battery initially and then the Harvester part would come on later but I'm happy to be corrected.

    What’s your hobby

    Mine is out of an airport so not a layover, and actually setting foot on the ground rather than just driving through. I haven't spent a night in every state but I've spent at least a little time in each state on the ground, and I think, but not 100% certain, that I've ate a meal in every state...

    Make steering wheel sportier

    Since it's not necessary on EVs I hope they perhaps have both options available, and those who don't want it can have it deleted, and those who do want it can have it included. I'm not sure how much difference that would make in terms of cost/software, I'd hope not too much but that would be a...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    I wonder how many different builds the average person on this forum will do when that is released!

    What’s your hobby

    That looks like a fun trip :ROFLMAO: This would be the actual road trip to get it done:

    What’s your hobby

    Thankfully I already have Hawaii and Alaska ticked off my list. I basically need to drive on the edge of ND/SC and go into MN and then drive straight down to LA (dipping into OK on the way down), turn right to go through MS and AL and then come straight back up towards home in PA and I'll be done!

    What’s your hobby

    I don't know if I have what I would call many hobbies, cars have always been a big hobby of mine, maybe less so as I get older. I've taken up pickleball with my wife which is fun, and our other main hobby if you can call it that it is traveling. The Scout will definitely fit in nicely for that...

    Speculation - will Scout use the new EV battery announced by VW?

    Yeah mine (Telsa Model 3 with heat pump) wasn't too bad last year when we went to Quebec at the end of January. That was around -20 or below and we didn't have a charger at the place we were staying. Used up a couple of percent to defrost and heat up but certainly was livable. If I lived in...

    Question about Pedal Feel and Driving Characteristics

    You can select roll or creep as your stopping modes as well as hold on my Tesla. I only do hold so not sure if the regen is as strong on the other ones but just allows the car to roll or if it’s more like two pedal driving. I’ll have to try it out briefly next time I go out.

    Texas Scouts

    I believe you order online as normal, and they deliver the car to you in Texas. They send the plates and registration when complete, it's just the purchase is not done directly in Texas. I'm not sure if Scout will do the same, but Tesla have a list that says how they process registering...

    Texas Scouts

    Depending on how Scout does it, I imagine you will order online and the sale will be completed in another state that allows DTC purchases. Then most likely you can either pick it up from there and drive it back or have it delivered to you in Texas and then register it there.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I think a lot of people who don't do any research on EVs just look at the time it takes to get to 100% charge and go off that figure which is obviously significantly longer than just charging to 80% or less and moving on to the next stop a few hours away. So when they say it takes over an hour...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Interesting, I didn't know that's how they worked in terms of modules. I guess on the plus side with those like you say, you could have a few go out and still get good charging speeds. I agree with the maintenance though, while more chargers are needed across the US and Canada, outside of high...

    Make steering wheel sportier

    Maybe there will be different options for steering wheel design to accommodate personal preferences. I like how the current one looks (minus the stop/start button on it), and I wouldn't really want a sporty looking wheel in a large pickup truck but that's just me.

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    This shows why multiple options are needed, I actually test drove a Cybertruck while I was getting my car inspected a few weeks ago and I liked the way it drove. It was a bit different to my model 3, maybe a little firmer on the regen but once I got used to it I liked it. It actually drove...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I feel like Tesla don't really want to sell tires, although they will. They are more expensive that at other places, which I presume is to try and free up appointment times for other things. I just get my tires from Costco for mine, which also come with free tire rotations (Tesla would charge if...
