  • 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.

    Sadly many those vehicles could only move off lots with heavy heavy manufacturer, dealer, and tax incentives. Will be interesting to see how 2026 shakes out given that tax incentives are gone and mfrs rightsize the supply.

    Preparing an EV for a winter storm...

    I bought one of these a couple weeks ago after a power outage... I have a bunch of Ryobi tools and thus a bunch of those battery packs that, until now, were useless for anything other than the tools themselves. Nice to have an additional energy source I can tap into when the power goes out next...

    Jeep Recon

    Not sure if it was discussed previously, but the Recon's interior was done under the watch of Chris Benjamin who led Jeeps interior design before joining Scout to become Chief of Design. I'd be very curious to know what specific ethos he purposely carried over and integrated into Scout.

    This is amazing news. I'm very familiar with gov't contract vehicles like Sourcewell along with others like NASPO ValuePoint, GSA, etc. They play a huge role in procurement for SLED customers because they eliminate the expensive and time intensive RFP process since a competitive price is already...

    Just worth pointing out you got a :love: from Aileen. With that said, @aileen.barraza, would love to hear your thoughts on what's been posted in the 70+ pages of the Scout Color Poll thread. IMO Cyure's Pale Butter Yellow is a slam dunk, would love to know if there are any other colors posted...

    Launch Edition

    That was me! :D I called it the Scout Community Package. The Community gives input on what's included in the bundle, we get some kind of discount for our efforts (and to get some kit out in the hands of customers fast), and it becomes a bundle that regular customers can buy...but with the added...

    Launch Edition

    I'm going for an "everything you need, nothing you don't approach with this car which means no loaded up Launch Edition and I'll be closer to the lower end of the price range. If they go the Launch Edition route and push the rest of us to the back of the line then I'm probably looking at a 2029...

    So two years ago Rivian sent reservation holders a survey on what configuration they'd most likely buy. Below were the options and given RJ said Launch Edition will be top of the bell curve of what people will order, likely in part due to survey results, and that we're expecting Launch Edition...

    Absolutely, buying a soon-bunk (in the US) J1772/CCS car in 2028+ makes no sense. Even if that wasn't the case, having access to the Tesla Supercharger network alone is enough reason to want it. At least here in California, it's a no brainer...

    Plays exactly into what VW design boss Andy Mindt was saying two years ago.. How does the cost of the ID 2all interior work out compared with an existing car with its simplified design but higher-quality materials? “[The cost] might stay the same but we up the quality as you save costs with...

    Both strategies can exist. They learned that BEV isn't the right fit for large truck customers so they've pivoted towards EREV. Meanwhile they're still a year or two away from debuting a new line of smaller BEVs, including a pickup, on their Universal EV Platform.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    In almost every interview I've seen of RJ, the reporter tries baiting him into a political question and he simply doesn't bite. Keogh is similar. And that's the way it should be.

    Am I the only one who thinks every post from tomgillotti has come straight from ChatGPT? Every post is either one human-written sentence then a cut/paste from ChatGPT for the rest or the entire reply is ChatGPT. Is nobody else seeing this?

    I'm hopeful all the conversations we've had on colors have pushed the needle in favor of offering decent choices. Fingers crossed.

    Yeah, Rivian offers up to 10 colors on R1S but that includes black/white/grey/silver and a few variations of said colors. Would prefer to see your 4 crowd pleasers then 6 interesting colors.
