Most of Rivian Modules are made in house. I'm sure a few extra bucks they can put a Scout logo on it.

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.
How about they save their money on module logos that very few will ever see and pass the savings on to the buyers.
They could but also if they are going to re-logo some items, it's probably already factored into the starting price of 50k. but I'm sure we will see some Rivian or VW logos. especially the ones that will be working on them in their driveways.
That BMW shifter in the Grenadier looks so out of place. It’s doesn’t match the feel of the car at all.
Guys, most auto manufacturers also act as suppliers for other companies. Even is Scouts are delivered with VW-stamped parts it means absolutely nothing other than Scout bought that part from VW...again in a boringly normal supplier-customer relationship.
Not sure. I get shared parts and parts bin items from VW-like internals but accessible/ viewable items should be covered/plated /rebranded as Scout Motors
I don’t disagree but if this were an ICE you wouldn’t want to lift the hood and see VW on the engine cover. Rather have a cover/shroud that is stamped as SM. Most little stuff is minimal though
I agree things from vw parts bin should definitely have scout marks. It’s been done before with other manufacturers when sharing parts. Normally is just simply a new sticker or badge where the other was
True but honestly I think it's a moot point. Without doing any disassembly work the only VW AG label you can see on my VW powered Audi A6 (EA888 aka 2.0T engine) is on the alternator and even then you really have to look down in there to see it. Back to Scout, with all the effort they're putting in to make this a stand alone company with stand alone vehicles, I highly highly doubt they're going to allow VW logos to show up where customers can easily see them. The days of a Bugatti Veyron sharing the same key as a VW Golf are thankfully long over.
That's an interesting tidbit I wasn't aware of. "The days of a Bugatti Veyron sharing the same key as a VW Golf are thankfully long over."
Yes. from 1989 to 2008 when Ford sold Jaguar and Land Rover.
Interesting find on FB. Any Rivian owners know if this is true? If so-SM should think about this

I think it used to be more limited and the they added more dealers you could go to. I follow some Rivian guys online and this was one article I found. As for what you can select in the car I don’t know.

Rivian’s 2025.06 Update Will Let Owners Swap Wheels Without a Service Visit
Rivian’s upcoming 2025.06 software update is bringing a long-requested feature to R1T and R1S owners: software-based Wheel Swap. Currently, if you want to change your wheels or tires to a different size, you have to make a service appointment so Rivian can update the vehicle’s software...
Here’s the issue to why tire shops refuse to work on EVs. The manufacturers work with the tire manufacturers, and most of the time these EV companies make the tire manufacturers put sound denting in them to make the ride quieter. Which these tire shops don’t want to have to pull the foam back and reglue the foam. I found this out the other day when I went to a tire shop to help with a BMW IX they had in and needed help with, because they thought we glue the foam strips in the tires. Which we don’t, and it’s only on certain tires, and it’s of a RC car style foam insert, so it’s removable.
I really hope Scout uses normal OEM tires, from BFG and who ever else they are working with, the foam in tires is dumb, obviously these auto manufacturers aren’t confident in their product ride quality and road noise. So much for the EV = Quite Ride, obviously not…
