Important to remember that "production start" and "when I get my vehicle" are two vastly different dates.
I wasn't expecting to be behind the wheel until 2028 anyways.

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.
Mentioning vaporware. Has anything come from Alpha Motors? I really like their designs, but I bet we never see them.
Same and even if it was 2027 I wouldn't be taking delivery anyway as next year we'll be focused on replacing the wife's ID.4. I was thinking 2028 or 2029 unless needs change or something happens to my now 10 year old Audi forcing a purchase of something else.
My car is at ~90k miles and freshly out of warranty so we've entered the true maintenance cost vs value territory. Just hoping that scale doesn't tip until I can take delivery because not having a car payment is awesome in the interim. (and I need new brakes and tires ugh)
No question I could run for another 100k but we'll see how it goes!

Ugh. I don’t have to worry about maintenance (thank you MOPAR lifetime warranty) but I’m hoping I can make the tires last till I get my Scout. It’s going to be tight.
I haven’t heard anything in a long time. I don’t think they excited investors enough to go very far. They have a LOT of graphics about their dozen or so potential vehicles. Most of those seem to be renders based on old Toyota pickups, VW Baja Bugs, Porsche, old Land Rovers, and other European and Japanese designs from the 1960s to 1980s. But there doesn’t seem to be much technological advancement.
But…??? I don’t really know much more than that.
I saw their truck some years ago and figured I’d wait to see if they do anything with it. I’m still waiting.
I had never heard of that brand, but looked at their site & that is an...ambitious...amount of vehicles to start off with.
Wow, I have not thought about Alpha Motors in a while. I loved the truck renders they had, but I could tell right away that the company was selling smoke.
thats what i thought about KARMA Automotive until i went to florida and saw a few.
General question here......but given that we're into 2026 now and production is supposed to start next year, is there an ECD for Final Specs on the two models? They must have some idea of what they are by now if they're going to produce something next year.
I don’t know what ECD stands for but no final specs yet. The two vehicles they have are still just concepts. We haven’t even seen pre-production, let alone production vehicles.
Also, thinking about how Rivian is doing things with the R2, they are saying production will be starting second quarter this year and they aren’t releasing specs until March 12th.
Oh I think I just figured it out. Estimated completion date? If that’s it. No they haven’t announced any dates as of yet that I’m aware of.
Rivian R2 is supposed to go on sale in like a couple months yet we won't know all the final specs/prices/etc. until March. I don't expect we'll get that info from Scout for quite some time. The one thing I do know is they're trying to pump up towing capacity for Harvester vehicles since it'll be their top seller and feedback was that 5K wasn't enough.
This seems to be a consistent message.

I would not expect them to have final specs anytime soon. If Scout intends to follow the industry and releases new vehicles at the end of the year (2028 models released in Fall of 2027), we will likely see final specs for the Scouts in the summer of 2027.
The Rivian sub Reddit seems to be celebrating this story for some reason.
Any concerns about authenticity of sources are downvoted.
Highly recommend Power Stop brake kits from Amazon.
I have installed around 10 sets on personal and family members' vehicles.
Night and day over stock, quiet, and last a long time if they are bedded properly after the install.
The cultish behavior coming from some Rivian owners is starting to become concerning. We don’t need to celebrate even the rumors of failure of innovative companies. The Rivian is entirely outside of the price range of most people in the US, so it makes no sense for their customers to think a delay of a lower-priced “competitor” is a good thing for them.
Oddly enough, I'm not opposed to EVs in general, it's all the stupid stuff they put in (or don't put in) with the electric drivetrains. No buttons/all screens, no door handles, etc. I'll want to keep one engaging vehicle to drive, but will likely be all-EV otherwise in the next few years. A silky-smooth inline-6 or a big V8 attached to a manual transmission is hard to beat from an engaging standpoint, and the rolling toasters just don't get my heart going. To be fair, ICE vehicles with automatic transmissions count as rolling toasters to me too. So boring to drive, whether it's a race-prepped DCT or an econobox.This seems to be a consistent message.
