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 know! I am not a forum “regular” like some of you, but every few weeks/month I like to catch up on Scout related news. Today while doing some fall chores came across some new content (shout out to forum members on their appearance), and this interview queued up. Some new info—came here and searched and didn’t see anything! Excited to see when/if we will see some of these preproduction test vehicles! From another interview they talk about this time to test ideas, finishes, colors etc and make some manufacturing changes as needed. So I could see where these are not shared publicly since it may show something that doesn’t make it to final production.And people keep saying there is no news-here is some news
I think that is exactly the situation and if things are being tweaked they don’t want to commit images then come back 4 or 6 months later and show something different. Like I was told in Boston there is now a good mounted seat with built in go pro and a washer nozzle to keep your face free from dirt
. Kidding aside I do think that is why we are only seeing prototypes for now until all items are locked in. Even with lighting their designs gene noted in Boston we would all be happy-but what does that mean 
. So I guess I need to plan on being happy. Glad you pick up new stuff when you visit

Good to see my Uncle Scotty talking about the achievements. Can't wait to see the next progression update from Jamie
Check this out.
Note: This is with home charging only. Some people got confused thinking this was in the context of road trips because it lists cities, but that's only to help put the distance into perspective.

How far $100 of fuel takes you in America's best-selling cars
Miles on $100 of gas, diesel or home charging in each version of the 25 best-selling US models and the 5 best-selling electric ones, at this week's EIA prices. A Tesla Model Y charged at home goes 2,110 miles, a diesel Chevrolet Silverado 366. Plus a month's fuel cost for 899 miles. EPA ratings...

My current Toyota is off the chart on the bottom, and I'm expecting the Scout to be up with the Toyota/Honda sedans, so I'd be quite happy with that jump up the chart.
This is a great chart and really shows the advantages when you have readily accessible charging both home and longer travel. Don’t realize how big the spread really is. Also assuming our RZ is similar to the Toyota BZ since siblings so very good on that end of thingsCheck this out.

I would expect it to be on par or better than R1S not counting cars equipped with crazy off road tires like you see on the concepts......actually I just realized I'm thinking BEV but of course the EREV is what's launching first so you're probably right.
We still don’t know for sure what’s launching first. It hasn’t been announced officially yet.
I'll be on crazy off-road tires, but I'm very curious what voodoo Scout bakes into these to get some good range efficiency numbers otherwise.
And if they ARE on the forum and she's single: I have this son in TN..... He's a chemical engineer, likes to work on cars, take long walks on the beach... (well, 2 out of 3).That scout II is killer good. Beautiful color, love the black roof. The lift makes the silhouette look so good-almost looks shorter than usual due to the height. And as an owner of ostrich chukkas-I’m a huge fan of ostrich leather. Beautiful vehicle and if daughter and father are on the forum-congrats to you both. This is in my top 3 vintage Scouts. Well Done️
Yeah the spread is huge. I think the problem with the Average Joe is when you start talking about miles per kWh and price per kW and other EV jargon they get lost. The beauty of this chart is it puts everybody on the same field using a very simple calculus that everybody can understand and lets the results speak for themselves.
Is your RZ FWD or AWD? The Toyota bZ they listed is probably the FWD model. Your car will be a bit heavier and if it's AWD that'll also ding it just like ours will get dinged for similar reasons, but not by much meaning we'd still be ahead of the next car in line.
We have the AWD so I know that’s a penalty stroke but just surprised how high it was. That said we are roughly 6 months in and averaging like 4.4-4.6 miles per KW so winter will be the fun test to watch the cold weather impact
Oh I would love to know. If you can have your wife provide an update on her winter driving I sure would appreciate it.
Yeah same. These cars are equipped with heat pumps which makes a big difference. Because we skipped the loaded model we don't have the radiant heat on the dash, but your car does and that's supposedly good for some additional efficiency gains (vs spending all it's energy on heating ambient air).
As you can see above, its much more than tires for the R1S. There is about a 300 mile split from one variant of R1S to the other based on wheels, tires and motors.
How cold is it? How fast (or slow) are you going? What accessories are adding drag? etc. etc. etc. The charts are nice, but its the real-world stuff that individuals do and how they drive that make the biggest impacts. Clearly charging at home with an EV is a no brainer no matter what, and way more convenient too...
While their $4.29 gas price is pretty accurate for premium unleaded for me locally, the $0.18/kWh is also a big variable. I'm at $0.07/kWh, so if I can pull 2 miles per kWh in the Traveler, I'm looking at over 2,800 miles for that same hundred dollars while my Toyota is getting about 340 miles for the same money. That's eye-opening.

If I got 2 miles per kWh on the Traveler with the 35's I'd be ecstatic.
I'm hoping, but with 90% of my driving on 35-50mph roads with very little highway, there's a chance!
