I just found this video on YouTube where they discuss the Scout Traveler and Terra designs. I thought the folks here would enjoy it.

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.
Yes, that is good. I also like this one from a guy deep in the IH Scout community. Totally different background, making many of the same design points. His whole video is worth watching, some overall reaction then the design part starts about 31:20.
Is this new or was this the one from like last November? I feel like I watched this.
The video I posted was from last October (published Oct 31, 2024). I found it when I was looking for something else on YouTube (I guess the suggestion algorithm knows what I like
) and I did not see a link to it anywhere on the forums. So I thought I would share it here in case anyone else who had not seen it would like to watch. I am sure 99% of the people here don't need to be convinced that the Scouts are a good design, but it was fun to watch a design engineer explain some of the aspects of the Scout design.
lol this guy is hilarious. He keeps saying he's not a fan of EV because of the "practicality" and "inconvenience" of it, like he doesn't live in a house with electricity or something
My dude, you can literally refuel your electric Scout from an outlet in your barn. I'm betting you can't drill, separate and refine your own gasoline out there. To me having to drive a fair distance to get to a gas station is way less convenient and practical than just plugging into your wall.
People are so used to the status quo they have trouble imagining a different way of doing things. I'm glad the Harvester brings people like this into the fold because he will quickly find that running on electrons is far more convenient and practical than running on gas. He just lacks practical experience with EVs as many people do.
It's a common misconception that EVs are for "city" folk but not practical if you live in the country. The reality is pretty much the opposite. People that live in the country almost always have off-street parking where they can charge up a vehicle. They also drive greater distances than urbanites so would benefit most from the fuel savings. It's people that live in cities in apartment buildings that will actually have the most difficulty transitioning to electric since off street parking and overnight charging infrastructure will be a challenge for them.
Anyway, great video and I'm glad the diehard Scout fans are in support of the new Scouts.
I liked it too and remembered they tweaked the color at the time. I like it but as an architectural designer it bugs me sometimes when people critique something after the fact. They don’t know the confines the original designers had to deal with but I thought that review was decent. It’s always easier to sideline quarterback than to play the game so I think, as you said, it’s a great design from a new group of people recreating an American iconThe video I posted was from last October (published Oct 31, 2024).
