  • 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.

    And since we're on a truck channel, this is insanity in a heavy truck. Fastest time ever in a production truck, I believe:

    Time of year for factory pick up.

    Please deliver my Scout truck in nastiest weather possible. I would like to jump a flooded 'crick while navigating around a hurricane that wandered onto my route, or outrun a tornado through a corn-field with some flying cows, or just plow through a raging blizzard in the dead of night up the...

    Looks like NW Maine to me.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Taking real-world data from your driving, then plugging that data in to a model to look at results, can validate and predict what you will be seeing for actual ranges. So in one of my cases where my efficiency was at 1.47, and with the following variables assumed, and leaving my house at 100%...

    Did someone say cold weather? The coldest temps I see when winter driving are about -20F (extreme). This past year, the coldest temp in VT was -29F in the town of East Haven (Northeast Kingdom of Vermont near Jay Peak). That is pretty impressive cold considering that the coldest temp on Mt...

    Interesting! My R1T has a built-in FM radio tuner, but I guess no more.

    One thing to note regarding battery health and diagnostics - you can really nerd out on this stuff, but I have never once worried about battery health, and it has never been a problem in over 60K miles of owning my truck. Checking my battery health just isn't something I ever do, b/c my range...

    I agree with this - I don't understand the move to mimic Tesla with this one!

    Looks like a cool spot, but lets crop the old Bronco outta that pic!!! 🐎

    Once you set up your phone and the Rivian Assistant, (if you want to use it), that takes care of sending and reading all your texts...

    More positive feedback on those scroll wheels - they are all the rage for sure. Great design by Rivian to improve the user experience with something even better than a traditional cluster of 30 buttons on a steering wheel with tiny text that you can't even read. Well done Rivian.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I agree with pretty much everything you are saying, and the R1 could make you "spoilt" for sure, but the "luxury" part of the R1 is actually one reason why I am here. I do truck things. I feel like my R1T is a little too nice for me. I drive around in my ski boots and waders, I overfill the bed...

    R2 Launch Watch

    No, and not planning to go out of my way to do that with no intention of buying one. I have an R1T and a Terra pre-order - no SUV for me. I would like to see them sell the crap out of them though and hope for strong sales. I think that will actually be quite good for Scout, based on projected...

    Rivian just sent me an email with a summary of the media coverage from the R2 Launch - They also posted it in Rivian Stories. I have not watched them. LOL To mark the launch of R2 on June 9, we brought a select group of journalists and creators to Utah to put R2 Performance with Launch Package...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    What's the point? I use Dog Mode all the time in my truck. Works great.

    Rivian disclosed & published reservation-to-order conversion numbers? I have not seen ANY of that data in any reports or filings, ever actually.

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    Ignorance is not an excuse for the way a feature is designed. That's like breaking the law and stating you didn't know the law, or catching a fish illegally and claiming you didn't know it was undersized or out of season. If you don't know how your specific functions operate, then don't use...

    I have not - I have a hard time watching them! LOL

    Judging by the sheer number of "R2 test drive" YT videos and the amount of clickbait, I am quickly reminded why I will never be an influencer.
