Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

  • 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.
I've done 1 brake job (which was a little surprising since I drive 1-pedal most of the time), but the brakes are still engaging & working more than you think even if you're mostly using regen. We'll have to see how things hold up in the long run and what costs look like if something goes sideways. It's already been 4+ years since I took delivery of my R1T.
This is shocking to me. This implies that Rivian is doing a LOT of traction control interventions. I am really curious to know if this is normal or something unique to your rig or driving style. My MXP is tri-motor so it can adjust power left-right on the rear using power and not brakes. I'm at 70k miles and the brakes look brand new. My wife's MS is dual motor with open diffs so it has to use the brakes for traction control but at 90k miles the brakes also look brand new.

I was thinking the same thing, especially with a lot of highway miles. Even on an ICE vehicle, I'll rarely get less than 100k miles out of brakes with virtually no highway driving.
