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.
Hi! That one article is the first thing we have seen showing 300. It could just be a typo. I checked out the reservation page and it’s still showing 350.
I have put the @Jamie@ScoutMotors signal up in another post to get an answer to this question before there’s any panicking.
This is what the reservation page showed as of last night when I checked.
Possibly a typo - or could be the first indication that there will be a standard and long range model. Up to 350 miles could mean ideal conditions, or could mean options up to 350 miles. Waiting for Jamie.
Everyone stand down. Just a typo. Carry on.
Maybe this thread can be deleted now that the article was updated. Otherwise new members will keep getting wound up
I was thinking that last night. It might cause confusion.
Maybe that’s just another typo. The reservation page says 350 and when we brought it to their attention they fixed tha January article to 350.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors can we please get clarification on the anticipated range for the BEV? Has anything changed from reveal? Or is it still 350. Please and thank you.
Given that it says “more than” and the general nature of social media accounts for companies this just sounds like someone responding in more of their own words. Obviously 350 itself is an estimate, and not currently proven and probably won’t be for a while still, so I don’t see any reason to take 300 all to seriously.
I'm not taking it seriously. More than 300 is technically accurate. Everything is an estimate at this point. I was just letting everyone know that the "300 mile thing" isn't a one-time occurrence.
Of course, I just wanted to say something along those lines as there are some people, probably not active in the forum, but possibly lurking, that take everything a little bit too literally. Which is unfortunate, but I have seen in it a thread or two, about vehicles that technically still don’t have a (publicly atleast) “finalized” design
Such negative people on social media. I think social media is where hate goes to die
Did you read the “dead in 3 years” comment? They would probably e surprised to learn of Rivians continued existence
That’s the part that got me. Another group wishing for failure-probably because they can’t afford one and they are angry because of it. Seems to be haters from every direction:
No diesel, no V-8, not enough range, not enough tow, not full ICE, killing trees to build plant, and on and on……
Yeah, their might be some reasonable criticism for scout, given it’s been years since unveiling, allowing for new tech and competition to enter the market, well maybe atleast in regards to EREVs, but they have a good reason, the factory is still under construction. The only thing I’d be upset with is a 400+ mile BEV only a couple years after launch, but that’s part of the risks with early adoption anyway
Yup. And it’s not even like it’s a one sided attack. It’s coming from all angles at this point. But everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. Thankfully the Auto industry in America isn’t as controlled by the government as much as China or other countries. If it was we would see a lot of people riding bikes or walking.
It’s funny because when I first heard that Scout was coming back I was a bit pissed that it would be all electric, but then they introduce Harvester as a surprise at the reveal, and it pulled me back into wanting a Scout.
Trying not to theorize, but the more I see it, my mind wants to say they working on getting verifications and in the “PR notes” they’re saying “more than 300” to manage expectations, but I think I’m just going crazy, being stuck home in this iceover
