  • 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.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Rivian sold me a full-sized spare with my R1T directly with my purchase for $800 Here is the line item from my configuration. This was a good deal at the time!

    Spare Tire

    This is an inaccurate statement and you can absolutely order a spare with a Rivian (I have 20" full-sized spare with an A/T sitting in the bed of my truck right now), or simply buy one in their online gear store here for any wheel or tire configuration...

    The Limited Launch Green paint was made available to all R1 launch customers as part of the Launch Package at no additional charge in 2022. Rivian really did provide very good value at launch.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I think Rivian painted all the panels on the R1's all at once after dipping the entire truck. Maybe the R2 process is entirely new. With the R1 process, this would have been next to impossible (unless a panel was damaged at the factory and replaced with the wrong panel somehow).

    R2 Launch Watch

    Honestly, I don't even know if this is really an issue. Anybody can paint a door panel a different color grey and post it online, or use AI. That is why I'm wondering if Rivian has come forward at all about this. I honestly don't know. Also, if this was real and it somehow missed Q/A and was...

    Off-topic stuff…

    Does it not have an app showing the latest SW release? Why do you have to go to the dealer for updates?

    R2 Launch Watch

    Has Rivian said anything about this directly?

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    They would need direct partnerships with the companies that have apps that are supported within the CarPlay environment.... Like they have with Spotify for example, and a way to enable them natively within their U/X U/I

    Most Improbable or Impossible Scout Motors Special Edition?

    100% in Agreement on this... I feel like too many editions can dilute a model. In some cases its almost as if the OEM is trying so hard to find the right buyer / personna, that they need to create a frickin' special edition for everyone (because otherwise the vehicle isn't that special on its...

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    Sorry - this is a late reply to a statement made last Valentine's Day! While the Rivian platform is great, I would disagree with your statement on the grounds of NOT getting native app support for everything you get with ACP... If you got WAZE support, for example, natively integrated into the...

    Interesting. I wonder what it's wading depth will be with a name like that.

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    My Xpel looks like new 4 years later.
  14. R1TVT

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    Who knows if that will be an option straight from the factory, or via certified partners and installers, but it could be at some point... Rivian added Xpel many months post-launch, FWIW. I had PPF installed on my R1T fascia, hood and tailgate at a local detail shop before they offered it...

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    Or, get PPF directly from Scout at the accessory barn (perhaps?)
  16. R1TVT

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    I'm much more concerned about snow and ice build up )and obscuring the actual headlights while running at night in winter), but that is all TBD at this stage.
  17. R1TVT

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    Very true, and I would say similarly "flat" front fascia to the Scout - which is 100% a giant bug crusher.
  18. R1TVT

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    I think the surround DRL looks good from a distance and the surround gives the Scout a unique front end (and gives a nod to being electric), but with snow, ice, dirt, mud and bugs, I do believe that this fascia might be re-worked a bit, but still give the appearance of being scalloped.
  19. R1TVT

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    Yes, agreed... I can see the aftermarket providing some degree of modularity and customization right from the shop. We've already seen the precursors to some of this stuff. I could see add-on off-road lighting. I could see a brush bar. I could see a winch. I could see a different bumper. I...

    Is that from the factory?!?
