Position charge port BEHIND the power outlets

  • 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.

First, thank you for placing it on the rear left of both vehicles so that they're not taking up two spaces when they charge at certain Supercharger sites.

After looking at the 360 view of the Traveler and considering the placement of the spare tire, you're going to want to close the distance between the charge port and the NACS charger. At some V3 Tesla Supercharger sites the charging pedestals have been centered behind their parking space so the charging cable may be a bit stretched to reach the charge port in that current forward position, if the Traveler has the spare tire on back.

I actually think putting it on the front passenger side would be better. That would work for most charging stations while still allowing easy access to chargers when towing.
Yes!!! I just reserved the Scout Terra Harvester today and this is my biggest concern. I tow with my Tesla MY and having the port on the front would allow a lot more compatibility with super chargers and towing without having to unhitch your rig. I want this truck to tow a tear drop trailer but I’m on the fence if the charge port remains in the back.
