  • 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

    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...

    R2 Launch Watch

    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.

    R2 Launch Watch

    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

    R2 Launch Watch

    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.

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    That really IS the true cost... And for most consumers, all of that data is on the ONE device that they take everywhere, inside and outside of their truck. Even if truck SW & interfaces were actually better (and weren't displayed on massive screens that you can't take with you) phones would...

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    This is not correct. There is no OEM fee paid to Apple for Apple CarPlay. Developers just need to be on the standard Apple Developer platform to start to build a CarPlay integration. The developer fee is $99/year: https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/

    Scout failing to refund reservation

    Yes, Scout only needs to do the legwork in the scenario I described (where the credit card account was completely CLOSED), otherwise the card network will simply redirect the refund directly to the new card that was issued as a replacement. Yes, Scout may still be in the process of finalizing...

    Scout failing to refund reservation

    If the card was cancelled AND the account was closed, then no, that won't work. Scout would be notified by the card's issuing bank. Then Scout would need to credit you directly (ACH, check, gift card or by some other means to make you whole). If your card was replaced and Scout had issued the...

    Scout Traveler: Running Boards

    I think that is their plan (with the accessories building)... Kit-out your Scout directly from the factory post production.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Most DCFC chargers in the Northeast are intentionally established around existing infrastructure and restaurants. DCFC operators are very intentional about locations. There are usually gas stations either DIRECTLY on the HWY or DIRECTLY off the exit. DCFC's here tend to be just outside of the...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    This is what I like about companies like Rivian & Scout being ALL EV. They aren;t dropping half measures at something with an "ICE backstop" that they are still fully committed to (like the big 3)
