  • 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's the timeline (w/ charging and fill-ups) for a 720 mile road trip (no towing) with and without the harvester?

    The million dollar question. So many variables. We won't know the answer to this until we have all the spec's and can do a side-by-side. Also depends on how you charge or how you charge and fill up, which wheels and tires, weather/temp, accesories mounted to vehicle, weight of the vehicle, final...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I'm not a huge fan of Walmart (and have never actually stepped foot inside one), but I have charged at EA stations that are located in Walmart lots and they are quite convenient. Having the backing of a giant retailer is a good thing - esp as a "value retailer". They should be competitively...

    All EV/BEV needs its own name!

    I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of adding any extra naming and I'm leaning toward the side of keeping it simple. Without the "Harvester", you either have a Traveller or a Terra, and that may be enough. I was thinking that maybe a play on Electrall to "ElecTrail" or something could work, but I...

    Illinois Dealer Fight

    The direct purchase of my Rivian R1T was the best purchase experience I have ever had. These dealer lobbies are no different from the taxi cab lobbies that tried to prevent ride shares like Uber and Lyft from entering major markets. The direct model drives competition & fosters consumer choice...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    Right, my guy - just didn't want people thinking Rivian was charging for Driver + (b/c they aren't, and that is what this thread was about).

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    Rivian's Driver Assist (called Driver +) is not an add-on or performance upgrade: Driver+ features are standard on every Rivian vehicle. Some may be introduced through over-the-air software updates following start of production, including Lane Change Assist and Trailer Assist. Driver+ is...

    Terra has a power rear roll-down window, no?

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    It sounds like you re-convinced yourself to get the Harvester, and if i were you I would get the Harvester. You could do the entire trip without stopping for gas or electricity. If that is what is important and you are OK with the trade-offs, then yes, you should get the Harvester... (y)

    Scout Deal Breakers

    Right, but not sure why you are ignoring what Scout stated, which was that the EREV / Harvester WILL power the battery.

    if that is too heavy, then listen to Scott Keough in this interview

    Scout Deal Breakers

    There are numerous other details & spec's that are still TBD that will impact real-world driving, but Scout has already stated that the EREV will not bypass the battery (and that the Harvester will charge the battery), and Scott Keough has stated that in interviews From...

    Scout Deal Breakers

    Please explain (using science) how there is a misunderstanding. I can simplify this (again) as much as possible, because Scout has stated that the Harvester EREV will be a generator used to charge the battery, and that the Scout will NOT be a HYBRID. 1. The motors are driven by electricity 2...

    Scout Deal Breakers

    Considering that the motors are driven by electricity, when there is no electricity, there is no towing (or going for that matter)... You MUST have electricity in the form of some usable / minimally viable SOC to propel the vehicle forward (let alone tow).

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    Anything mounted on bars on a roof will be detrimental to range. With the Terra, there is an interesting opportunity with the pick-up bed to seamlessly integrate a solar tonneau... This would be an interesting option to consider for truck owners, or if you wanted to eliminate the large glass...

    Hoping for a simple option - will pay extra!

    Agreed. Even simple things like an overhead 360 view (using the cameras) when parking to help you quickly get centered into a space, or see how close you are to a bumper when parallel parking are taken for granted. The other thing to keep in mind is that our kids will grow up with all this tech...

    Scout Deal Breakers

    Are there cars that now serve you up ads on the infotainment system? I'm asking b/c I have not seen that. I agree that would be terrible and a deal breaker for sure.

    Hoping for a simple option - will pay extra!

    Sounds like you've experienced poor implementations of features & tech. Some of those features are related to safety. Safety sells vehicles. That said, with a modern U/I and configuration options, you can usually do things like eliminate or reduce sounds, turn on or off proximity sensing, etc. I...
