  • 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.

    Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

    The R2 is IMO the clear winner for what you're wanting/needing but even better than that would be to have your cake and eat it too. A used Gen 1 R1S would literally check every box and should you be on your off-road adventures and stumble upon a big surprise on the trail, the R1S could handle...

    I see multiple 2 year leases in my future 😅

    My wife does the exact same thing! That's how I've known for quite a while that EV adoption is not for her lol! Simple rule my electronics live by. If it ain't red, it ain't dead. 😅

    It was both actually lol! It was derived from a Rivian YT short.

    Proof that they are REALLY pushing the sale of the R2 because they know its critical to Rivian's success.

    Y'all could release the BEV's, get units on the ground and let us start racking up the mileage. :cool: 🤙

    Valid for current EV owners, but for new EV adopters who are undoubtedly going to heavily depend on the range readings of the BMS, I think it would be good practice to focus on mileage estimates instead of relying on the gas gauge.

    This is what it's all about. At night: In the morning: Tbh I find it much less stressful to look at the mileage remaining than the % because I can judge how much 31 miles is much easier than 11%. I think if early adopters simply begin by practicing the same technique in their ICE vehicles...

    Got charge anxiety? 😅 Proof you've fully adopted EV ownership. Now I got to make a quick 14 mile round trip. I know my truck, it'll be fine. I'll charge when I get home.

    The truth is EV ownership is easier than ever. When I worked at Tesla a couple of years ago, the supercharger team told us you were never more than 80 miles to the next supercharger. As good as that is, that distance has undoubtedly been reduced since then. Add with that all of the other...

    One pedal driving is something I will never go without again. There is so much more precise speed control of the vehicle, a more simplistic form of driving that once you get use to it, it can IMO offer a much smoother ride than a traditional ICE powered vehicle.

    "I still have a lot to learn but my first EV is less of a learning curve than I thought it would be." This is the key line that pretty much sums up EV adoption. Most people think its some major change of vehicle ownership when in reality it really isn't. The only real difference is you got to...

    Scout Concepts in Blythewood, South Carolina, April 20, 2026

    Yes its good! Any new Scout content is lol! I will say Gjeebs messed up some of the facts but there are some cool things to check out, including seeing the harvester maintenance counter.

    It might just be reaching for straws, but maybe, just maybe SM will see the feedback and alter the design to where we can remove it relatively easy should we want or need.

    Unless its made into the lift gate which it isn't there has to be some way of removing/installing it especially for collision repair service. I'm sure the mounting locations of the arm will have to be reinforced to support the weight and all but I seriously doubt there will be no way to remove...

    Scout Concepts are coming home April 18-20, 2026

    10-20 colors would be insane, but also not very likely unfortunately. Agreed there are a lot of people will need time to decide a color but I know at least one that wont.... @cyure 😅

    Well this looks promising to me. If these arrows indicate the swing arm attachment points it looks like it could be very simple to remove with just two bolts. Surely these will have to be a special security bolts so people dont run off with our spares or back packs for that matter, but simple...

    I did not even think of the PITA that could result in having a rear swing arm when charging. I would be very curious to know if Hummer EV SUV owners have had a similar problem as they have pretty much the same setup as the Traveler with a spare tire carrier will have. Of course the simplest...
