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.
Something is weird about their numbers.
The R2 has an 88 kWh battery.
(957.4/408 = 2.35, not 2.36 miles/kWh)
2.35 miles/kWh * 88 kWh = 207 miles.
For a vehicle with an EPA range of 330 miles, I’d say that’s not very great.
The average speed was 51 mph, assuming they meant they were driving with the vehicle moving for 18 hours, 46 minutes. If they really did average 77 mph while moving, then that suggests they spent about 6 hours charging, which is way too much time for a reasonably-designed vehicle. Something is inaccurate in their statement.
If their average speed was 51 mph, then they got terrible efficiency. No idea why. Excluding a lot of stop-and-go traffic, my full-sized pickup can get >2.5 miles/kWh at 50 mph. A much smaller BEV with less mass and less power output should be able to do better than that.
Maybe they drove 479 miles each day over two days. I drive almost exactly the same distance on my trips to the LA valley every month or so. It takes me approximately 7-8 hours to make that drive, depending on traffic, my speed (too much higher than 72 mph on the freeway actually costs me time), and my bladder. But their time suggests closer to 9.4 hours. I only ever face that kind of time if traffic is worse than usual or there is construction on the freeway.
Basically, we need more context.
