Scout has more than 50,000 reservations

  • 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.
The article referenced in this thread is dated beginning of January 2024 and stated 50,000 reservations. I watch the YouTube video of the event in Blythewood and during the presentation I swear I heard 75,000 reservations. If that’s correct that’s amazing and quite an increase just from January.

Not to be a downer - but turning reservations into sales is a hard thing. Reservations show interest, true. But sales is putting your money where your mouth is.

Not sure if it is true, but found an article discussing the end of the Cybertruck reservation program. It said Tesla managed to convert 2.5% of reservations into sales. Part of that was probably due to the production delays, perhaps some was not hitting all the performance numbers. I suspect some was people hoping to flip their reservations. But probably the most was the price change.

Tesla deserved a low conversion ratio on Cybertruck because they couldn't keep the wild promises they made nor could they make a car without rampant quality issues. While nobody knows what Scout quality is going to be like, and as a longtime VW/Audi owner I'm not giving them a free pass on that one lol, I will say the promises they've made so far seem achievable. No bulletproof military grade vehicle that floats on water for $40K BS and no overhyping dialogues from Scott & Co.
