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.
Local paper says first R2 deliveries expected to start in June.

I wonder when non-reservation holders can play around with configurations

Have they even gone out to reservation holders?
I have a reservation and they haven’t gone out to us. According to things I’ve read somewhere, current owners of an R1 get preferred access to the R2. I don’t expect we’ll get the option to convert our reservation to a purchase until much later in the year. And I don’t expect to purchase the R2; it’s just not quite what I think we want in our next vehicle and we have to save up for longer.

Yeah I put down for a reservation the day I saw it at the San Jose reveal back in...checks internet...wow, April of 2024. The lease on our ID.4 comes up in February of next year and while it's still top of list, I'm seeing cracks forming in that decision since needs, budgets, competitors both on the new and used market (thanks to heavy EV depreciation), are changing.

100% same here. I'm keeping my reservation until the point of no return and then probably canceling it.
