  • 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.

    Haha I wish. But I’m a 1099 contractor so If I don’t work I don’t get paid!

    It’s 4 hours from my house, it’s a Thursday and I have to work on Friday.

    FB find of the day

    I like how many random people log on just to comment that it needs a v8 and/or diesel

    Size comparison

    I’m in a rental car this weekend. A ford expedition. It’s roughly the width and height of the traveler. Honestly I think it’s a bit big for me. I’m driving a Volvo xc60 now which is relatively small, so maybe it’s just something to get used to. I do like the solid feeling of the bigger ford

    I second Texas…San Antonio because we get skipped over for our northern neighbors

    Rivian CEO Interview

    I’m also flipping back and forth, I tend to keep cars a long time so I lean towards harvester as it gets the most mileage. But I’ve got a phev now and barley use the engine, and like the idea of less to maintain If it was 350 ev with a small engine for the extra 150 I would be all in, but I...

    0-60 times with harvester

    My xc60 can hit 0-60 in 4.5 seconds with gas and electric motors running, trust me it’s still plenty fast

    At least you don’t have to wait long to make spaghetti

    Luxury features I would like to See

    It’s been a “cool” summer in Texas, last year we broke the record for consecutive days over 100 degrees (75 if your curious)

    Don’t be shy, say hi!

    Haha just don’t say “you should have put a diesel or v8 in it” like every 3rd comment on Facebook or Instagram ads

    Must haves to purchase…

    Off the bat deal breakers would be - -Range below 300 miles. -Price over 70k -Inability to test drive one before I buy -If i somehow have to go through a VW dealership and they mark it up -Scott basically buys his way into an administration and arbitrarily fires a bunch of people while...

    Must haves to purchase…

    I’d say the fact they are building a factory is a good sign it will happen.

    Poll: Would you use a Scout configurator tool if pricing and details are not finalized yet?

    Yes! I waste a lot of time at work building Porsche macans, G wagons and slates. Would love to add a Traveler to the mix

    What do you all do? Curious about Scout buyers occupations, or former occupations.

    certified registered nurse anesthetist. I gas people to sleep and then wake them up

    What's the timeline (w/ charging and fill-ups) for a 720 mile road trip (no towing) with and without the harvester?

    A better route planner.com can run scenarios based on what car you drive. Scout is not in there yet, but it will give you a rough estimate of charging stops and times, I’m sure scout will eventually make it up there once more info is released

    Rivian Rs2 vs Scout Traveler

    Agreed. If money was no object I’d get both. And probably an EV G-wagon, and a Ferrari and caddy ct4 blackwing just to round it out. And a bigger garage too

    Rivian Rs2 vs Scout Traveler

    They are very different sizes. The R2 is approximately Toyota rav4 size, while the traveler is approximately Land Cruiser size. Rivian has a head start in production, and service Personally I like the looks of the Scout I’ve got reservation on both and going to see what they both look like...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    I’ll speak for myself here and say that’s perfectly adequate. My Volvo has a somewhat decent lane keep assist (hands on but you can take off for 10 seconds ish). I like the idea of level 2+. There if you want it, but not mandatory or invasive
