  • 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

    What I really don't understand about this is it appears that the mismatched parts are getting painted the old dark grey (from an R1). How is that even possible? It's not like an R1 part accidentally got installed, and that grey isn't available on the R2, so it shouldn't even be part of the...

    Yes, still keeping the Scout reservation. Never know what life is going to bring in the next few years! I also do still really love the design.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I finally was able to snag a demo slot over the weekend! A few of my observations/thoughts - They were restricting drives to 15 minutes even though appointment slots were a half hour. This is annoying, especially since the Rivian location is in Downtown Denver, so getting a decent route in that...

    I'm in the Denver area, so we have several Rivian showrooms and service centers around. But I still haven't been able to get access to a demo drive slot! Quite annoyed about that.

    R2 Launch Watch

    TBD...I'd like to. But there's a lot of factors that could change over the next few months that could make it not make sense right now.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I got Nov-Dec 2026, and I made my reservation March 2026! Probably helps that I indicated Launch Edition. It's actually about 6 months earlier than I think would be ideal, so we'll see how it plays out. I just didn't expect to be that early with my late reservation.

    R2 Launch Watch

    From what I understand, once you get the invite to order, it remains active. So theoretically, you get the availability to order, but want to wait, you can. Makes sense since not even all the options are available right now. So if you want to wait for Coastal Cloud interior for example, the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Not sure still. All will depend on timing. Ioniq lease is up Dec 2027. So we have to find something new by then, or potentially extend up to 6 months if they allow. R2 is certainly high on our list. I reserved very late, so not sure if timing will work out in our favor there. I still love the...

    Maybe? I don't recall exactly how much, I think at least a little bit.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Glass. And doesn't have a built in shade or dynamic ability. Definitely a downside in a sunny climate (like CO for me). Going to be a lot of aftermarket tinting or shade solutions I'm guessing.

    R2 Launch Watch

    That's the configuration I'd like to go with too, minus the accessories. Only one I think is critical is all weather mats.

    Haha, the great thing about design is it's subjective! I'm just really not a fan of the newer BMW grill approach on all their cars.

    Range stats on the new iX3 are looking really tempting. Too bad it's ugly as heck. https://www.carscoops.com/2026/05/bmw-ix3-pricing-range/

    R2 Launch Watch

    Oh, and a pet peeve complaint about both Rivian models - they have the pop out cup holder trays even in the front. I think that's just a terrible design. It feels so frail and fiddly. I always have some kind of beverage with me, and not having just permanent built in cupholders in the console...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Went to the R2 block party in Denver today. I really liked it. Got to sit in a model, take some measurements and look at the R1 again to compare. It reinforced for me that the R1 (and likely the Scout) are probably bigger vehicles than we need. Biggest priority for me was determining if we can...

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    I was very wary of high regen/1 pedal driving. But now that I'm driving the Ioniq on a daily basis, I have gotten used to it so quickly. I will say, I only prefer actual 1 pedal in more "constant flow" scenarios. I also just haven't quite figured out the touch on it for parking/slow maneuvering...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I RSVP'd to Denver! Looking forward to checking out the interior space of the R2. The small cargo volume numbers behind the rear seats worry me for my needs, so it'll be great to get eyes on it to either definitely rule it out or confirm I want to continue the wait and see approach in the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I ended up putting in a reservation yesterday after reviewing all the info. I test drove an R1S last fall and liked a lot about it, just wasn't looking to spend $100k on a vehicle when I was anticipating a Scout coming. With the shifting timelines and my Ioniq lease ending in Dec '27, the R2...
