  • 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.

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    I've seen comments and feedback about this in various posts but wanted to start a separate thread to consolidate the discussion. I currently own and R1T and its an amazing vehicle. There are two main drawbacks for me with this vehicle. Its not great for road tripping because of the charge...

    Rear Window - Flip Up Option

    Since the Traveler will have a split gate, its likely a roll-down rear window won't work. So, what I'd really like to see is the rear window be able to flip up like in the Toyota Land Cruiser and Highlander. Super useful. Someone already suggested the rear side windows popping open. Would be...

    More Info on Scout Terra and Traveler (Scout Blog)

    Traveler: https://blog.scoutmotors.com/a-closer-look-the-scout-traveler-suv/ Terra: https://blog.scoutmotors.com/a-closer-look-the-scout-terra-truck/ One interesting difference in content is they mention V2L in the Terra but not the Traveler. Hopefully they will both come with that option.

    Out of Spec Reviews Scout at CES 2025 (Jamie Sighting)

    If youre a fan of Out of Spec, they posted a video of a brief review of the Terra and Traveler. Not a lot of new info but their interviews with Jamie and Nicole were cool. Lots of exciting elements related to the infotainment and UI as well as the Scout community.

    Headlights Have Been Re-Designed (slightly)

    Update: My bad, from other angles of pics from the reveal, it looks like the glass was always there. I'd like to think I had something to do with this ;) Anyways, in a previous post I mentioned how I was concerned about the way the headlights were designed at that time and the potential...

    Traveler Ride Quality and NVH Expectations

    One of the complaints/feedback Rivian has received about its vehicles is the ride quality and noise. Particularly in the R1S. Rivian has adjusted ride quality several times via OTA updates. In Gen2 version of the vehicles, they made changes to the dampers, spring rates and bushings as well as...

    Scout resonates with consumers

    I am a Rivian owner and follow them on various social media platforms like FB, YT, IG, I’m obviously a fan of Scout as well and following them on the same platforms and what I’m seeing is interesting. Scout is regularly getting as many or more likes as Rivian. A company that has been selling...

    Leverage Existing VW Group Service Centers at Launch

    We've read that VW dealers are upset that Scout announced its going to set its vehicles direct to consumer. As a consumer, I applaud and hope you'll continue the past to sell direct to consumers. Service for Scout vehicles is another thing. Telsa has historically struggled with service...

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    It was announced during the reveal that Scout will launch in 16 metros. I know all of us across America have put in a deposit for a reservation but depending on where we live, we may or may not be in part of the first batch of deliveries and may have to wait. Similar thing happened with...

    Harvester - Request to allow it to charge battery while parked & a 30-40amp/240v outlet

    I live in the PNW and with the recent "bomb cyclone" we have had widespread power outages. Its been almost 3 days without power and we don't have a generator. We've been able to draw power using our Rivian R1T which is great. I did have to go to a DCFC charger to juice up once but otherwise...

    Rethink Steering Wheel Design?

    Let me just start by saying design is subjective. I hope the steering wheel design is not final. I think a round wheel or a round wheel with flat bottom would be preferred by most folks. From a design pov, don't like the two spoke design either. I know its a throwback look but in combination...

    Grab handle on drivers side A-pillar

    Here's a suggestion to put a grab handle on the drivers side A-pillar, in addition to the other 3 we see in the vehicle. A vehicle with this much ground clearance needs that to make it easier to enter and exit, especially if there is no running boards.

    Running boards integrated into the lower molding?

    I was looking at photos and also noticed in some angles of video that the vehicles appear to have an integrated running board (or at the very least a step). It seems more pronounced on the Terra than on the Traveler. I'm hoping it is at least an option so we don't have to get aftermarket...

    Driver Assist Tech on the Terra and Traveler?

    Has anyone heard what type of driver assist or autonomous driving features will be available with the vehicles at launch? I watched the reveal but don't think it was mentioned or maybe I missed it?

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    Scout has indicated both the Traveler and Terra will start under $60k for the entry model. It's likely the models shown during the reveal aren't the entry model. What do you think the specs will be for the entry model? Here's some speculation, it'd be interesting to hear what others think...

    Seattle Scouts

    Hi, Didn't see a group yet for the Seattle/PNW area so thought I'd start one. Looking forward to connecting with other fans and enthusiasts of the Terra and Traveler and future Scout vehicles. I'm in the Seattle area and currently own an R1T and a couple of hybrids. I put in a reservation for...

    Re-think Headlight Design

    I'm not a huge fan of the 4 array headlight design, looks too similar to the ones Porsche uses. Also kinda looks like a merge of the Porsche and Bronco lights. IMO, its not actually that distinctive/iconic. I do really like how the DRL blends into the side/parking light and the light bar...
