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.
I remember him saying like they will still be there but not actually cut out of the fender, just attached to it and appear somewhat the same
At reveal they noted it is the largest production panoramic roof ever designed. Don’t know if that is true?
Not to be a dream crusher but it was noted at reveal that the perimeter lighting might not make production. Which would suck because at night the experience of the lights is awesome
Jamie has noted a retractable interior cover is planned
Welcome! And I can second @cyure ’s response as I’ve been told the same thingMaybe I'm blind and not seeing it because I was so distracted by the beauty and probably not a big deal but I don't see a grab handle on the driver side A pillar. @cyure do you remember seeing one? I've been going back through your pictures and I don't see it. I see the other 3 but not the driver.
I do not mean the floor mounted from factory rotted steel.
Okay I kept stats on our trip so one of you EV owners could tell me how this will compare to a BEV.
We left Illinois at 1:47 AM CST with a full tank. I had filled the Supra up and drove home the 2 miles so full.
The mileage I’m giving you is the total miles traveled per the trip odometer. Not how many miles traveled on that leg of the trip.
The Supra takes premium gas.
253 miles - filled up $38.71 - 8.567 gallons - $4.52 a gallon.
460 miles - filled up $31.50 - 6.775 gallons - $4.64 a gallon
691 miles - filled up $33.60 - 7.15 gallons -$4.69 a gallon
Arrived in our hotel room at 4:00 EST.
Drove out to the factory and around town.
Left town at 2:04 am EST
847 miles - filled up $43.66 - 8.385 gallons - $5.22 a gallon
1076 miles - filled up $$27.50 - 6.456 gallons - $4.25 a gallon
1324 miles - filled up $38.66 - 8.055 gallons - $4.79 a gallon
Arrive home at 2:05 pm CST with a total trip of 1643 miles.
There’s 2 bars left on the gas gauge. I need to get gas but we were too tired that day. I’ll go later.
How long would a trip like this in my BEV Traveler take? Cost?
Thanks!

Assuming you charge at home to 100% and then fast charge on the road at say $0.50 /kwh, I would say you are probably looking at around $225-250 depending on factors like efficiency and speed and weather. Back of napkin math.
Tire carrier included. The R1S feels like a limo next to the Traveler and much shorter too. As for the width I think it feels wider too. I drove my R1T to the event and I could definitely tell my truck is smaller than both of the Scout models.
You know what else I like to see beyond the fact that there’s this nice “flat” dash? I like that there’s actually quite a bit of upper “lip” to protect the screen from glare.
I knew I had some. The hubs found them for me. This is when I was sitting in the drivers seat. So my POV.
I’m curious about your times. If I’m reading this correctly, it took you approximately 13 hours to go 691 miles? That’s 53 mph average. That suggests to me that you stopped for a meal at least once? Maybe twice?
Assuming that’s the case, then your total trip time shouldn’t be any different on your drive out or back, if your charging and meal/restroom stops coincide.
I’m assuming the Scout BEV has a 130 kWh battery.
I’m assuming you would get poor efficiency of 2.0 miles/kWh.
691 miles at 2.0 miles/kWh = 345.5 kWh.
But you charged from home for the first ~350 miles.
So:
130 kWh @ $0.174/kWh at home = $22.62
215 kWh @ $0.46/kWh (average in IL and SC for DCFC) = $99.13
Outbound cost ~= $121.75
Next Assumption: You charged at a free L2 charger overnight, arriving with 5% remaining and ending your charge with 100%
Exploring the area and heading home, you drive 952 miles.
952 miles @ 2 miles/kWh = 476 kWh.
You got 123.5 kWh overnight charge at the hotel for free.
Drive home using about 352.5 kWh @ $0.46/kWh = $162.15
You arrive home with some low percentage. And you don’t need to go out tomorrow, just plug in and tomorrow the truck will be well on its way to being refilled for your low-cost home energy price.
Total cost: $162.15 + $121.75 = $283.90
You forgot to account for the cost to fill the car before leaving town. That would be about $61.92 at $4.52/gallon, assuming it’s a 13.7 gallon tank.
Supra cost: $275.55, including the first fill-up, but not the last fill-up.
Scout BEV cost: $283.90, including the first fill-up, a free overnight charge, and not the last fill-up.
Because of the dramatic increases in cost at DCFC recently, it’s now about the same cost to drive an EV on a road trip as it is to drive a gassy car. I typically get 2.3-2.5 in my truck, so my cost would be about 15-25% lower than these estimates.
So presumably with seat movement and tilt/extend on the wheel it should work for nearly everyone
Close enough.
I used average costs in IL and SC for DCFC, and an average cost of electricity in IL for home charging. I also assumed an overnight charge on a free L2 at the hotel.
I knew there would have been some bit of info I forgot to list. It was 790 miles to the hotel. So we went 790 miles in 13 hours.
We had enough gas when we got to town so we didn’t have to fill up until we got back on the road to leave for home.
The Supra gets much better gas mileage than the Jeep. I’m
Lucky if I get 17 mpg on the highway.
Thanks for this!
A Better Route Planner says your one-way trip out would use 419 kWh and take 13 hours, 50 minutes. One of the reasons I don’t use it is it’s super conservative and always suggests I stop before I need to. It suggests you need 3 stops to get there. If you can charge on a hotel charger, it’ll be about the same on the way home. You could do the trip with two longer stops in each direction, but that might not be to your liking.
