R2 Launch Watch

  • 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.
My order date is sometime in June. We're taking a bunch of camping trips this summer and a long trip in August. Delivery of the R2 to us would be too late for those trips. We'll keep our reservation, though. Still min-maxing the options for keeping the Mustang until the Scout is out or trading for a used R1S or waiting for an R2. If we do end up with a Rivian, we'll keep open the option to get a Scout when that's an option.

The pricing is a little better than I would have expected. I have a reservation for an R2, but I had pretty much ruled out getting one. Seeing this pricing, and the ability to get autonomy included in the launch edition pricing, makes it tempting. I still think the Scout will be better for me, but it will likely cost more and is probably 2 years away.

If I were Scout, I would try to put something out that would keep people interested so that they don’t jump to the R2. I know they are different vehicles, but the same demographic will buy both.
 
Reevaluating everything, I think pricing is very good and competitive. I love the way the R2 looks in Green. Definitely want to test drive one. Still keeping my Scout reservation though.
