  • 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.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Yeah back when I saw R2 in person it reminded me of the 2014 X3 we had at the time, just with a more spacious interior. *** Ok I looked it up just now and wow, I was bang on..

    R2 Launch Watch

    A day away and things are already starting to leak out. Compiling posts from other people, info gained from either taking a peek at the R2 launch thing in Austin or an ArsTechnica article that leaked early.. R2 Launch Edition $57,990 excluding $1,495 delivery 87.9 kWh battery 330-mile range 29...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Here's my feeling on the R2.. ..which I made immediately after seeing it in person at the San Jose roadshow. It really hits all the right notes and I have no doubt they'll deliver on their promises, but as I've said with Scout, the challenge here is our needs have changed in the years since. It...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    Flop no, however success will be highly regional dependent which Scout is fully aware of. California? Overwhelming majority will be BEV. Texas? You're in Harvester Country, partner.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    You might want to reach out to Forbes because they have him quoted as saying.. "The first production vehicles are expected to roll off the line in 2028 in the form of the Traveler SUV, Keogh revealed." https://www.forbes.com/sites/edgarsten/2026/03/04/scouts-chief-digs-in-on-direct-sales/

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I can. As of yesterday Scout has 160K reservations of which 80% are EREV and the split of Traveler to Terra is 75% to 25%.(source). For a brand new company starting production at a brand new factory in an environment with limited resources, it makes sense to start with the top of the demand bell...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    In my post above I mentioned Manager Magazin correctly calling the shift to EREV first. That same report also claimed Scout "will initially only be available with a combustion engine as a range extender – and not as a purely battery-electric vehicle." I think we can safely conclude it will be...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    IMO quite a lot of EREV will convert to BEV. From the time the bulk of reservations were placed to when people start placing orders you're looking at 3-4 years of EV infrastructure development, adoption, and market acceptance meaning a lot of people will decide they don't need the crutch of the...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Back in October when Manager Magazin claimed EREV would now launch before BEV I said the following... ...looks like we were both right. Note #2 was written with the understanding Scout started off as BEV-only and EREV came later meaning it's earlier in development so needs more time. Here's...

    Thanks for the responses on the frunk. Looks like it would be pretty handy for emergency things, sports gear, groceries, etc. Also not having to swing out the spare tire just to access little things sitting in the trunk will be convenient. Ok, bring on the frunk lol.

    Since we're talking about Frunks, what do we honestly expect to carry in the frunk of the Scout? I feel like it's a cool thing I'd never use. Maybe a cooler?

    Ideal Small Sized Vehicle

    First one is a no brainer and let's not forget the "Travelstar XL" trademark. Yes they went with Traveler instead, but that XL was there for a reason.

    Ideal Small Sized Vehicle

    Next model I expect would be a 3 row Traveler. Next model after that would be a Rivian R2 competitor If they feel like it: Small truck based on the above. Notable mention: Contract to build Traveler based Audi SUV.

    I would not be surprised to find this on a Rivian someday.

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

    Rivian R2 is supposed to go on sale in like a couple months yet we won't know all the final specs/prices/etc. until March. I don't expect we'll get that info from Scout for quite some time. The one thing I do know is they're trying to pump up towing capacity for Harvester vehicles since it'll be...

    Same and even if it was 2027 I wouldn't be taking delivery anyway as next year we'll be focused on replacing the wife's ID.4. I was thinking 2028 or 2029 unless needs change or something happens to my now 10 year old Audi forcing a purchase of something else.

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    As someone who has spent their life around VW Group vehicles all of which had coolant issues not counting the air cooled, this makes me a bit nervous....this on top of the fact we're looking at a 100% brand new vehicle that's bound to have first year kinks that need to be ironed out (like...

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    I'm still just amazed they'll be able to fit a whole EA888 engine back there (pretty sure it's not going to be the lower power EA211). All in that engine is just under 300lbs however as an EREV I'm sure there are a number of accessories you can remove making it a bit lighter. This matters...
