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.
Maybe it's just me, but that read as AI slop, though a mostly-accurate recap of things (aside from the Traveler being 3-row). If AI wants to pretend to be a journalist or newsperson, it needs to start including poor spelling, egregious grammar and cut and paste errors that are so common in the field nowadays. I'm not even close to perfect with my barely-paid-attention-in-English-class education, but damn, the news, magazines, websites and even books just hurt my brain nowadays. I have to assume there are a LOT of unemployed editors.
That’s the way I read it too. Someone just gave a prompt of write an article about the new Scout Traveler and Terra and that’s what it spit out. The way it had it sectioned was very AI like.

Like what is going on with this paragraph?

"Pure electric vehicles experience battery range loss in cold weather, high elevation, heavy towing conditions, and technical rock crawling, which are all elements an owner would typically subject their Scout to. Charging stations remain rare in remote wilderness areas. Scout's EREV system solves range anxiety during rural travel. The vehicle delivers roughly 150 miles of pure electric driving for daily commuting."

1. EVs experience range loss at high elevation? Quick search says "that's AI!"

The only reason I can find that EV's lose range is because of significant elevation change. I regularly drive sea level to 6,000 ft (about 1828 meters), it is not a big deal at all.

2. Charging stations remain rare in remote wilderness areas. Logic says, "that's AI!"

Anywhere you can put a gas station, you can put an EV charger. Rivian is specifically building stations near national parks


We should normalize saying "That's A.I." as the 21st century version of "That's BS". The kids are already on it.


"On Bluesky, parents bond over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s BS.” "

I sure hope the Scout Motors vehicles won't include mandatory BS, I mean, AI.

My 7 and 11 year olds are all over it. They're always telling me, "That's AI!" Haha

My kids are in their 20s and they don’t like it either. I noticed a new shirt in the wash my son got. The kids are all right.

Shirt is a little much but I’m not too far from that mindset. And yes-article read very AI to me as well but so does nearly everything these days. And if your company is anything like mine they are telling us to find ways to use AI to be more efficient. Have to say, at least to date, it doesn’t work anywhere close to accurate when it comes to architectural design

We've found it to be very useful in architectural design. We laugh so hard at the results that we all have a better day and work harder as a result. :ROFLMAO:

Fair point. My coworker and I do send each other a lot of failed attempts and laugh about it.
Thought this conversion from 2-D to 3-D was good until I realized Scout and other vehicles were all messed up. So it gets the building fundamentals down and the Scout but misses the obvious basics. So frustrating
