Last week we reached a major milestone here at Scout Motors with the first welded Traveler body. Here is the note from Scout Keogh that went out to all reservation holders today:
“We've had many firsts on our way to delivering Scout® vehicles. We hired our first production associates. We received our first parts. We turned the lights on in our factory for the first time.
Today marks another one: the first time welding a vehicle body at our Production Center in Blythewood, South Carolina.
No, this isn't a vehicle that will end up in driveways, campsites, or trailheads. But it is helping us prove something just as important: how we'll build every Scout vehicle that follows.
Running these processes allows us to validate our engineering before customer production begins.
Every weld, every component, and every lesson learned helps us improve the way we build and gets us one step closer to delivering Scout vehicles in 2028.
There's still plenty of work ahead. But for the first time, our factory isn't just being built ... it's building.”
