  • 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.

    New Scout Video: Forging the Future - The Sound Of Scout

    I'm envisioning some of these things being options or configurable within settings.

    R2 Launch Watch

    The stock watch screen on my iPhone is lit-up like an ambulance heading to a 5-alarm fire! Crissakes.

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Looks good with this paint - but I also like the Scout version. Well done.

    R2 Launch Watch

    The purple is Borealis - They launched that with some Gen 2 R1's at some point as a limited color I think. These are new colors are really nice.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Yes, and I can see those with urgency doing the same now (buying a R2 and waiting on a Scout). Are they offering leases out of the gate for R2? That might be the play for some buyers dipping toes in, or using the R2 as a bridge, but I don't know if they will offer leases straight-away?

    R2 Launch Watch

    Unsure how the market reacts to R2 today given current geo-political affairs, tapping reserves & exploding tankers. The current environment feels so unstable it might be hard for the markets to reward innovation, or will investors see this as the way forward and be looking to the future and...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Have not personally seen these on an R1, but doesn't mean they aren't available, just don't think I have ever seen them: Half Moon Grey Esker Silver Catalina Cove

    R2 Launch Watch

    No, I think thats it other than Lucid. And that is exactly what I was saying (just in fewer words!) LOL.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Can't comment on the exact verbiage that was used, but this was from the press release in '24: CEO RJ Scaringe.: “Our design and engineering teams are extremely focused on driving innovation into not only the product features but also our approach to manufacturing to achieve dramatically lower...

    PBY (Pale Butter Yellow)

    You've been fighting so hard, and it already has a perfect name! LOL https://www.fiberglasswarehouse.com/products/fighting-lady-yellow-gel-coat

    R2 Launch Watch

    If it goes like the R1 Launch, they can choose whichever they want, and they can keep their place in line (essentially moving up if they wait for the future model to launch). Not surprised to see a loaded R2 launch at this pricepoint, if it really is the actual price... They will convert all of...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    Yes, again, Silverado has a MASSIVE MAX RANGE battery. Also... 1/3 more capacity = 1/3 more battery cost (so add $$$$$.$$ to Scout total cost). My R1T Large Pack weighs-in at 1750 lbs and is 135kWh for comparison. All that said, I think a Scout Terra battery will need to land somewhere...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    Totally agree that range is really only important and something I think about when on a longer road trip. My point was more along the lines of showing that the numbers are lining up for a variety of different tests, and that if you do the research you will see there are actually a healthy...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Nothing is "on me" - I'm not VW. I have a fully refundable reservation while I wait to see production specs and what the future might hold hold. I have little to no faith in the big 3 to develop anything half as compelling, so I' here with my bag of popcorn, taking it all in. I'm hopeful that...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    My optimal conditions type numbers come very close to Edmunds Test numbers, which aren't a straight 70MPH HWY run, but rather mimic more real-world day to day to day driving with a 60/40 (city/hwy) split done by two drivers in one day starting at 100% SOC: How does Edmunds conduct its...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    How many miles I can get depends on a LOT of variables: this depends on my tires and wheels (I have summers and winters), heat or cold, uphill or downhill, headwind or tailwind, snow or rain, HWY or backroad. Just like any EV.

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    ZERO issues with range estimates on my R1T - They are shockingly accurate and adjusted well on the fly for varying conditions that may positively or negatively impact range.

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    I'm feeling quite confident that emulating Elon is not a pillar in Scout's strategy.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I would recommend choosing words more carefully here. Do not conflate "Scout" with "the company" that has announced profit collapse or a RIF. They are not the same thing. But since you reference VOLKSWAGEN GROUP:

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    GM built a truck with a massive battery, so they will of course have a longer range. Tesla takes a lot of heat from owners for bloating their range estimates - amongst other things...
