Extra, Extra....Read All About 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.
My Guess would be that JP morgan or GoldmanSachs could set something up with Scout for a 0% Financing. Since thats something a car company and bank work on.
Just be aware this interest program is VERY limited on who can take advantage and if I recall when I saw it before there is a max vehicle cost and I seem to recall these new Scouts are almost maxed out at base price but don’t fully recall
 
FYI ROMR posted a new video on YouTube today. Watched it on my TV or I would drop the link. Talking points about Audi using Scout and the some Recon talk and some talk about the new backpack on the traveler
Here’s what I find interesting about this entire Audi using Scouts platform.

1. It’s normally said not to buy into a 1st Generation model, but obviously Audi has huge faith in Scout, and so do we.
2. Audi’s Land Rover Competitor could be 3-4 years after Scout’s are started being produced, which would give Scout plenty of time to iron out any issues. While also being able to provide a Factory that can handle 3 cars at once. Because we all can expect the first 2 years to be a learning curve for Scouts factory.

Yeah- I think you are pretty close. I’d say 12-18 months if all this pre training is occurring and they get enough 0 series vehicles out to fix kinks, etc…. The fact that winter testing was last year and presumably summer testing was this past summer that’s a huge advantage for learning how the new underbody portion of the vehicles will perform. Zonal is coming from Rivian so that’s established. I’m sure cross-over command functions and operating systems are being designed so it really ends up being mainly fit and finish and understanding whether employee training was successful. And hearing them say they are paying better than most would lead me to think people want to stay at those jobs and not fail so they think with their game planning they are probably further ahead than we realize. So(probably like most) forget that just because we aren’t seeing finished scouts doesn’t mean they aren’t grating away at these things
