The Terra in Silo green will be there on the 26th. My husband typically tries to take pictures throughout the day to get different lighting to see how the colors shift. I’m sure he will do the same thing during that event.
I believe they will but exactly what regional areas will be built will likely be in the air for a bit. I suspect they will do a traveling circus event where you sign up for regional locations, get your slot then show up to a mall parking lot or a dude ranch and test them as well as see the various color options. 1 or 2 car carrier trucks could easily accomplish this.
And those locations will also likely be prioritized with the highest EV ownership levels so demographic gets narrowed. My hunch anyway
I'm in LA and live a fre miles from a Rivian location (I think we have 4 in the LA area?). Hopefully Scout will aslo have one close to me. One can dream.
Scion did this with their FR-S launch. Traveling autocross circus setup with the various colors. Had a blast and bought one after that, despite them only having cars with automatic transmissions present.
How fun! SM should do that at events like Nats and Harvesters in the Holler. That would be awesome.
I can somewhat speak on that, but there is a Scout Sales storefront in St. Louis already, drove by it on the way to Trivia one night. So you have to look, but I think they are really moving out to big markets.
I can’t imagine why St. Louis won’t be part of this initial group. Denver is a little far and (political sniveling ahead) I don’t want anything to do with Chicago.
St. Louis has a disturbing amount of money in Private hands (which does somewhat explain some predicaments). Plus its still a relatively low COL state. The amount of Rivians, G-Wagens, etc is astonishing once you get South of Delmar and West of Downtown.
Interesting. Didn’t know they had established retail locations already. Wonder what that strategy is about since it will be early 28 until vehicles are produced. Is it a prime location? Just seems odd to purchase or lease something like 3 years prior to selling?
What does the store front look like? Like do they have a sign or something? I've been thinking that if Scout is going to have these stores ready before people start taking delivery sometime in (hopefully early) 2028, they need to get a move on. Real property acquisition (or leases) and build-out for commercial leased spaces takes some serious time. So I wonder if we'll start to see more of these pop up. Just kind of want to know what to look for here in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
This is a good point and dovetail's with @J Alynn's point. Scout is bound to prioritize EV-centric/high conversion rate markets. When I was putting my list together of the 16 largest markets, I added Denver because I thought it would be a relatively high conversion rate and there are lots of trails and stuff available considering its location. I thought about St. Lous (or Kansas City), but I already had Denver and it was in the middle(ish) of the Country. I agree with @6-ScoutFamily. I'd rather not trek to Chicago if I don't have to. It's about a six hour drive for me from Minneapolis. Closer than Kansas City or St. Louis though, I guess.
I am on my work laptop so I can't upload or download files, but the address for the location is: 125 S Sarah St, St Louis MO, 63108.
If money was no object and they could lease anything I would probably have put in Clayton or closer to WashU (lot lot lot more Money in that area). But thinking about this and how Scout is selling itself as a "American Heritage - Manufacturing / Lets bring Manufacturing back" (at least in good number of ads and communication). This location makes a lot of sense. They probably going this location for a cheap rate, have access to a big parking lot for storage of cars. Additionally this location is right next a very high traffic area (Wine Bars, Gastropubs, Taverns) that attract a ton of Doctors, Med Students, High-paid professionals. I wonder if they are going to park a terra or traveler outside of something and basically just get "free window shopping"
Here's a link to a write-up on the building in question from 2025. Scout is not mentioned in it and the door has no branding in a provided photo. So this is a recent development for the company.

Coworking Guide to CIC St. Louis, the Original Shared Workspace in CORTEX | EQ
Over the past several years, CIC St. Louis has housed over 1,300 companies with more than 13,000 total employees. Over 1,100 companies have “graduated” (defined as leaving the CIC facilities for their own spaces). Globally, CIC companies have raised over $17 billion in venture capital; total...
Based on the information I read, this space is likely a design/tech hub and not a service center.
Completely agree which makes me wonder what it is used for. Maybe it’s simply a storefront and name sake prior to building an experience center somewhere. Can’t believe they would (nor be permitted) to tear that building down but agree this building is simply tech office space. Maybe they are wanting to create a hub for mobile service techs and this is a centralized space to build from?
