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.
The German publications love their headlines and "sources say" articles - it all makes for good headlines people click on.

We are still moving full steam ahead, bringing Scout back to market. Everything is moving forward and making good progress. Much like the guy who is balancing spinning plates on sticks and running back and forth to keep them spinning to prevent them from falling, we are juggling a lot at once. New factory. New suppliers. Two completely new vehicles. Could there be potential delays? Of course. But I will let you all know as quickly as I can if there are any official changes or major announcements.
Uncle Jamie! You made a headline!!!

 
Actually - I would be VERY surprised to see something like that on a Rivian TBH.

Also, don't forget that there a bunch of Rivian owners here with Scout reservations who would actually love to see BOTH companies succeed.

Even though I own an R1T, I see myself personally as having more Scout DNA and aligning well with the Terra. Not knocking my R1T either - it has been the best truck I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of them!
That’s the part I don’t get.

Not only are the financially married companies, RJ Scaringe has always been very firm on his message of MANY Electric Vehicle manufacturers being required for them to be a viable option in the future.

People need choices that align with their values and lifestyles.

Cheering for the collapse of one of them can cause a domino effect that wipes even more of them out by stock sell offs and legislation targeting the industry.

People need to grow up and stop treating every facet of their life like a football game.
