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 son really likes the look of the R3X. Says it looks like some rally car I have never heard of. Anyway, he has never driven an EV and wants to test drive a Rivian because he isn’t sure about not having button or CarPlay. It’s impossible to get a test drive of even the R1s right now.

It's funny, I intentionally waited until day 2 to reserve my Scout. I'm okay seeing some of you get yours first, but I want to make sure the factory has ironed out most wrinkles before mine shows up. After watching the R1 launch, I figured it was smart.
Although I reserved mine on day one, it's for a BEV which means I have no choice but to watch everyone else get their PHEVs first while I wait for BEV launch a year or two later.

I just don’t think it’s going to be that much later. I’m just thinking positive thoughts that we will get our BEVs sooner than we anticipate.

Every time I have a thought about getting a EREV my Wrangler brings me back to reality. Took her in for a rear turn signal bulb.

She still keeps having that issue where sometimes she doesn’t want to start and I told them what I have to do to work around it. I have to pump the gas a few times and then she does. They now agree it’s probably the fuel pump. They are going to call the warranty company as it should be covered. So just $100 deductible and thank goodness because apparently the fuel pump is in the gas tank??? And depending on which pump she needs they arw on back order. BEV ALL THE WAY!!
