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 love reading stories like this.
Other than carbon monoxide poisoning…
So Glad Scout Motors is going all manual handles.
Also:
I know Ryan Decker has talked about Tinker Culture. And I was wondering if maybe the battery can be accessible and serviceable by the owner, no special tools or equipment. @Jamie@ScoutMotors maybe you have some insight to stuff like this? (doors and 12v battery)

Yup. Same here. Just gotta make sure I have gas. And don’t run out on both HVB and GAS. And I’ll be good.
He didn’t mention how long he expected his life to be,Other than carbon monoxide poisoning…
Like technically I don’t need a parachute to skydive, I need a parachute to skydive more than once
That’s the “rest of my life” part…Other than carbon monoxide poisoning…
Don’t know if it’s been shown,
But if this is what Scout is starting with for controllers due to the Zonal Technology from Rivian. Then hell we are in good luck that Rivian and VW JV happened. This is crazy.

Saw an article on problems with VW and Rivian integration yesterday. Honestly, I was not overly concerned with what it pointed out. 1) VW group wants to maintain ICE product lines - which the Rivian architecture is not designed for. 2) VW group is continuing the infighting between lines that they are already know for - so it makes a common architecture difficult when every part of the group wants to keep their unique differences. So VW group might say we need a common architecture - but every line is crying about wanting their own architecture to keep them distinguishable.
Scout might be a little more immune to some of it, as they are not really wanting to maintain an ICE version. They also don't have a legacy of unique differences they are fighting to maintain - they are only trying to make a unique design and pull as much from the VW group toolbox as possible to do it.

Thats VWs fault for keeping Hybrids and ICE form vehicles its not Rivians fault that VW is struggling to deliver, maybe it has something with mismanaging the finances of the company. EREVs are highly more efficient than a traditional hybrid. And they would then be able to use the architecture.
Luckily Scout has the EREV and EV that can both use the Zonal Technology because they are both deep down inside an EV. Just one has a gas generator.
Local paper says first R2 deliveries expected to start in June.

Rivian's first test R2s come off the line after fast-track expansion in Normal
Rivian's first R2s — test models called manufacturing validation build vehicles — drove off the line earlier this month, with the first customer deliveries expected by June. That comes after a huge expansion that added 2.6 million square feet of new space at the plant in Normal.

I still go back and forth and change my reservation a few times every other month or so, really cant decide.
If there isn’t a thread, you should start a thread that’s help me decide BEV or EREV where people can put their driving situation and get feedback. There’s so many threads I don’t remember if we have one that says that. Anybody?
If there isn't and I'm feeling especially entrepreneurial I can make one later today...
