  • 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.

    Yeah, I went in telling them that I didn't want to do my tires yet unless absolutely necessary because $ and when they came back with the number I was like, uuuh on second thought! The dealership (who I was only going to because I had Subaru Care or whatever its called) wanted the same for...

    When I brought my car in for service at the dealership in January they told me I was on borrowed time with my brakes and tires would need to be done within the year. Was hoping to at least hold out on the tires but the mechanic I went to offered basically the same stuff as the dealer at half the...

    Well my luck has finally run out. Was running some errands on monday and my Crosstrek started making an awful grinding noise when braking. Couldn't hold out any longer. $1200 for new tires, brakes, oil change, and two TPMS sensors. At least my reservation # hasn't been called yet!

    Unfortunately for those who want to complain about it, getting cars/tech/whatever in the hands of influencers is a big part of marketing in today's world. More and more people will head to youtube/wherever to see what their favorite website/personality says about the new game, new phone, new...

    Interesting article that definitely throws water on the "but china's cars are so cheap, why can't scout be cheap too" argument (that many of us have already been data-center-level dumping water on for months) https://www.autoblog.com/features/chinas-ev-price-war-was-built-on-cars-sold-at-a-loss

    Also on the flip side I'd be angry if I got invited to order after I test drive! I am in the absolute minority of 1 but I want to wait longer lol

    I'm not in the room with the people deciding how to order the reservations, but I agree that it's not an either/or situation. They arent just saying "lease people first" they're definitely taking a series of attributes (reservation date, lease end, distance to service, previous Rivian owner...

    Rivian had a specific question about your current lease (Rivian or otherwise) end date earlier this year. I think the play there is, if your lease is up in August, they want your R2 to be available in August so you make the move. If your lease is up in August and the R2 isn't available until...

    @cyure did you get to drive it too? If not, what was your experience like as a passenger, or any thoughts you had as an observer? My week filled up (kinda overfilled) quick so I didn't get a chance to book anything. Maybe next week!

    At this point I'm just curious to see how long it will take for a Day 2 reservation to be called up. We had a few surprise (but affordable) expenses come up so the more I can delay the better :)

    R2 isnt even available to test drive at my location yet :( I'd be really irritated if my order window opens up before I drive. Would love it if I make it through the summer before it does lol.
