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.

Yo, Big J/Uncle Jamie

Whats happening with this delay I'm hearing about? Is it true? Or is this some VWAG Dealership paid fake news?
These kind of articles? I am also curious if this is exaggerated, stuff we already knew, or the most realistic timeline. I am willing to wait, I want my Traveler "Harvey" but still love my Bronco. Just curious and bored lol.

Jamie posted the other day in response to this that there were no changes on their end.

I think we all just have to realize that this is going to keep happening. This info is out there in these unsourced articles so now the search engines and the AI program are going to pull it into their answers.

During a conference on April 7 on China’s automotive policies, BYD Group’s chief scientist, Lian Yubo, acknowledged that all-solid-state EV batteries have reached a “critical stage.” However, challenges remain as the new tech moves to mass production.

After a series of “breakthroughs” earlier this year, BYD is expected to begin producing sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries in limited batches in 2027 while ramping up to mass production around 2030.
