  • 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.

    Depends on many variables & coverage areas. Personally, I get added coverage, in-truck video (PLUS the other Connect+ features beyond WiFi + streaming). Some may not find value in what others find value in, and that is fine - there's definitely no mandate to subscribe. That would piss me off! LOL.

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

    I get that. My response was only in relation to Rivan's Connect+ subscription option. Maybe I should have posted the features that are included as part of their "STANDARD" offering for everyone. If you don't subscribe to Connect + I don't see how you are subsidizing the cost of something like...

    Sorry, was trying to be helpful so she didn't think it was a barrier, since you do get Software updates without a subscription!

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    I'm 100% certain you will be able to sit in one, just as soon as Scout has one that is 100% ready for you to sit in it.

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

    Just so she's aware, the subscription model for software is not mandatory - you get SW updates automatically without the subscription. The Rivian subscription plan is for additional Connect+ features, so if she doesn't need in-truck WiFi or streaming or find value in the other things below, she...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    They buried it in the FAQ... It's NOT in the Technology, Capability, Electrification or Specs tab... Not surprising in this case! LOL

    I would take all of these "media reports" with a grain of salt, there are good and bad reports on virtually ALL EV's out there... https://rivian.com/newsroom/article/rivian-r1t-earns-highest-satisfaction-ranking-by-jd-power

    R2 Launch Watch

    R2 Launch Watch

    That would be great. To be realistic, it is probably a little easier for Rivian to exceed forecast production numbers at this stage with an experienced staff & already-proven processes in place that they could leverage for their 2nd BEV product launch. Notably, the R2 is also a much more simple...

    OK, well now I'm confused. Because that clearly states that the destination charge is NOT included, but I have no dog in this fight.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    In 3 winters of driving my R1T in ski country & sub-freezing temps, I have never once had to jump my primary or secondary 12V. Yes, as it has been pointed out, you can certainly do it if needed, but it should not be an issue. In my truck, access to the primary 12V system is through the bumper...

    Have you seen a window sticker and TOTAL MSRP? I assume shipping price is equivalent to "destination charge" in this case? I ask b/c the destination fee (according to KBB) must be clearly itemized on the vehicle’s window sticker, separate from the MSRP, and cannot be eliminated...

    June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    I'm a BEV Terra reservation holder. I understand Scout's need to drive initial sales, so I'm fine waiting a little longer to get what I reserved. I also see the simplicity of the BEV as making it entirely possible that both variants could be rolled out - perhaps they run 3 weeks of Harvester...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Perfect example of an AI Fail, since there was no math involved. Regardless, simply pointing out that you stated that "Scout insisted on launching into a saturated $60K luxury market" (when Scout never said that) is hardly "an attack". It's clarity for those reading this board. It's also...

    I'm glad to see you have refuted your own AI post with an AI post. Well done.

    Check Engine - Needs to go away

    Good news people - in a modern EV truck you should demand more, and you will get more. Remember, you will be rolling around in a SW defined vehicle (in any modern EV or hybrid), so you will have much more specific messaging when there is any issue. There is SW managing your battery, SW...

    Designing a $30K highly capable midsized EV truck as an established OEM 🍎 Designing a $60K highly capable, off road-ready fullsized EV truck as a brand new OEM 🍊 Show me just 1 quote from Scout Motors where they indicated that they wanted to launch into a saturated "$60K luxury segment" LOL...

    Would be cool to track our builds through the factory

    I'm all for the "no-nonsense, non-Disney, don't add more crap that could slow down production, or add more complexity" approach. I'm in the "be blown-away when you finally get to see your new Scout for the first-time in your driveway or at the factory" camp! LOL. Just my 02 cents tho 😁
