I'm Ready for Another Big Announcement

[ID_ENG]

I know I'm not the only one. And nothing special about me to get one out. But I'm itching for some new details.
- More pricing info
- Maybe more details on what will be manufactured first
- Color options
- Packages


What do you all want to hear next?

For me pricing is a big one, but even without it I'd like to see what packages and addons will be available. You know, does base package have 33" all season shoes. And offroad package include the 35" all terrains. What else does it include? I know customization is a big focus when SM and does that mean I don't necessarily need to order a "package" and are all upgrades available ala cart?

All of the above but guessing that’s at least 9 months away-minimum. Guessing lots of parts and things are still moving targets being nailed down

I’d like news saying they overturned SC to go direct sales. That would be awesome news!

When we are going to get the configurator tool to play with.

Can't find it now but someone from Scout just posted that the Terra has an updated skin. Hopefully they will be able to show us that in the near future. Otherwise, I think they just have their heads down, trying to solve the 6,000 little problems that crop up and decisions to be made, build the assembly line, etc. I'm sure there has also been some pause waiting for the tariff stuff to calm down, etc. IIRC they've been doing a lot of testing using mules to get all the hardware and software working together, building the UIs, etc.

 

[Jamie@ScoutMotors]

We will show an updated Terra concept around September 7th. It features new paint, updated interior accents, and some new accessories and looks.

Since we are trying to launch not one, but two vehicles in a brand new factory, you can expect that it is likely we will launch with one model first, more limited trim/model options, and other items will have a delayed introduction. This is normal when spooling up a brand-new factory where we want to ensure a quality product and not overwhelm the production process. This kind of thing will always disappoint a few people, but we think it is important that we be as transparent as possible so expectations can be set. All that said, we will work as many options, trims and models in as we can while still maintaining quality. All of these decisions are being made right now as we negotiate with suppliers and sort out timelines.

Pricing is on track at this point. The current regulatory environment, which has been changing virtually every week, has caused some delays and made things a bit chaotic, particularly for suppliers. We are navigating this and will continue to push hard.

The repainted and rethemed Traveler will make an appearance in late September as well.

So overall, there are a million things all going on at once but everything is still moving along nicely.

Both @Jamie@ScoutMotors and @CP1@scoutmotors have stated that both models are getting updated looks and accessories. It sounds like in next month or so we will get to see them. So excited!

Thank you so much for the details Jamie. Always appreciate you!

Of course, things didn’t really work out too well for him

I’m very excited and hopefully we see the Terra with a nice gloss color to show off those body lines!

Also, not sure if feasible, but would be nice once orders open to be able to get a baseline for what’s not included, but planned as things get ramped up. If the difference is 6M for a specific set of features/trim that I really want, I may wait or not, but having some sort of idea will at least let me make a reasonably informed purchasing decision.

Completely agree. Like-here’s the master list of options and features but right now-the items checked are the ones available at launch. Exciting but stressful all at once
