Probably not. He was telling me that the community is just one small thing he does at SM.

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.
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me an IH van
My friends all drive Sprinters, I must make amends

Happy Friday!
We all should be really happy, we are all moving up the reservation line. People are dropping their spots due to poor communication on Scouts end. Which I agree with, it needs to be more transparent. Stop with the cryptic wording, and tell us what’s happening. We all don’t want this to be another EV startup fail.

We all need to be calm and Scout on!
Yeah, you'd think with the R2 launch going well, there'd be a little more "counter-programming". Even being 2 years out of production, you don't want to lose too much momentum. The upcoming events should help, but they're limited by geography - hopefully a lot of good info comes out of them.
Happy Friday!
Another crazy week at Scout. I spent most of the week at the factory going through safety training, so we can start filming inside the factory, cover the latest progress, and share it with all of you. I haven't been inside the buildings in several months, so it was quite a shock to see how much progress has been made inside. There are crews and crews of people working and navigating around each other, running wires, installing equipment, moving forklifts, lift trucks hauling supplies, robots being programmed and tested, and so much more. It is really staggering to see its size and scope. We will have a lot of new updates and content between now and production starting up.
The new Scout Motors Training Center is already training new factory employees and we had a chance to tour that as well (full story on that coming later). Here is an exterior shot:
This shot above was taken the blue circle on the map:
This shot (below) was taken at the location indicated by the red circle above. The red circle is over the area where completed Scouts receive final checks, are signed off, and are driven out the door at the end of the building, where they go to the marshaling yard to be shipped or to the accessories building to be factory-fitted with accessories.
It is hard to see, but that small square of light at the end is where finished Scouts will leave the building.
Lastly, a view of Traveler most don't see much from above.

Thanks Jamie for then update! It’s massive!! Can we pretty please with a cherry on top have a camera at the end of the line and get pictures of our Scouts on their wait out of the building? Like Disneyland takes pictures of you on Space Mountain towards the end of the ride.
Definitely something we've talked about.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors to the left of the red circle, is that the run track to put the mandatory mile on each vehicle? I remember BMW having that at their factory and was fun to see them launch the vehicles out and around and back into the plant
