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.
The reddit FUD cycle in full effect... Puh-lease.
This is pretty interesting. That just added to my fears of full electric! Thank God For Harvester!
Ehh I wouldn't be too concerned. Think of the millions of charges that happen every day without incident. Doesn't mean failure rate is 0%, but does mean the odds are exceedingly low kind of like dying in a plane crash. Doesn't mean people don't die in plane crashes because they do, but does mean the odds are in your favor.

With that said, there is an interesting point to be made here, charging your car with that company's charger (Rivian w/Rivian charger) could potentially make life a bit easier should something go wrong since they can't place blame on somebody else or you for using somebody else's charger.
Revolutionary new EV charging plans for US revealed
New efforts by a German automaker will make charging an electric vehicle on the go "intuitive, intelligent and effortless."
www.newsweek.com
"The company has committed to building 10,000 charging points at a minimum within the next 10 years. Mercedes-Benz has already confirmed that it will build over 2,500 charging points at a minimum of 400 stations across North America by 2027. The company has invested $1 billion to complete the installation."
Im glad to see companies are still investing in EV infrastructure despite current goings on.
You can toss a lit cigarette into a bucket of gasoline and it will go out, but the vapors that are stirred up when you refuel are whats dangerous.
It doesnt even have to be something you do wrong. An idiot in the stall next to you can light a cigarette in their car and give everyone a bad day.

Ok, I'm actually a little bit confused about this.
So, this is a J1772 connector. Which is the Level 2 AC charger standard.
This was built into the DC fast charging standard called the Combined Charging Standard 1 (CCS1), which has plugs that look like this. You can clearly see how the J1772 plug was added up on top, while the DC fast charging ports are the two big ones on the bottom.
What I can't figure out, is why the vehicle side in the reddit post... only has a J1772 connector. I thought Rivians used CCS1 connectors. Like this.
Or, I guess its just about the L2 charger itself?
Also, the Scouts will use the NACS port, which is different looking than either of the above. Not that it really matters in this context though.
In the Reddit post, I think the charger is rivian, not the vehicle. Not sure what vehicle it is, but might be an older one without fast charging, or even a phev.
New Rivian Quads just launched with NACS ports.
The photo above has the same charging configuration I have on my R1T... The little rectangle you can see in your photo flips down to accommodate DCFC Fast Charging, and Rivian supplied owners with a NACS adapter for this configuration also (if at a Tesla Supercharger without a magic dock, for example).
Right or wrong, I put a little dielectric grease on my charge port. I guess that may help prevent this from happening.

I don’t know how I feel about this. This new fire and ice VW the interior the drivers seat has red trim and the passenger seat it’s blue. Definitely different.

Not a fan of I always thought making the drivers full seat different from the others would be cool if it was all complimentary but this looks like someone installed the wrong seat in one of the positions. Like maybe the scout seats are all same but drivers seat gets a cool plaid inset panel on the vertical cushion just to set it apart but would have to be done really well. Or maybe driver head rest gets the orange scout logo so it aligns with the one on front-you know-to the right side like a signatureI don’t know how I feel about this.

It could be a helpful cue to remind me whether I’m driving or just passenging. Or am I giving away my age again?
Smart move IMO. I was very liberal with that stuff as a mechanic and still am on all my personal stuff too. Could not recommend enough.
Oh I like that idea with the Scout logo on the drivers head rest.
