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.

I don’t understand that statement. They set up a fund of X amount of dollars. The program would end in March of 2025 or whenever X dollars were spent. I don’t see how that relates to what you’re saying here

Because he is wrong, and desperately trying to spin things.

Tesla exhausted the Canadian fund by submitting a ton of applications within a short period of time. I want to say it was around 8,500 vehicles in just a few weeks, which ended up being investigated for fraud. It turns our they had a bunch of backorders fulfilled at the same time, and when they were submitted they used up the remainder for those funds.


He also rejects anything that doesnt affirm his ideals. So dont stress about trying to teach them anything.

Maybe, if we get to use Waze directly through the head unit and on the infotainment screen (at a barebones minimum)... We already get native app integration (like Spotify) so if Rivian can add more apps like Waze I might get over it. For now I will continue use Waze on my phone in parallel while driving, which isn't my preference obviously.
