What are you driving until release?

  • 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.
That sounds like a great entry to the EV world rodor. I really really want to go full EV but things being what they are and that I very occasionally have to tow and/or take long trips, I'm glad the Harvester is an option.

I almost bought a Chevy Volt just to commute back and forth to work back when they first came out. Then life happened but I find myself back making a similar decision now.

Bought a Ford Maverick. It will be long wait and Canada is a big country to explore so I cannot wait... Keeping my Traveler Harvester reservation though.. Hopefully there won't be a bait and switch for the pricing in 2027 (2028 for Canada I guess)

They have been very consistent in their messaging. I went to Nats in June and someone asked during the presentation and they said again $20,000 less than their competitors.

2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV.

It’s been fantastic, Traded a 21 Charger for it, and haven’t looked back at an ICE since. It cost me about $50 to operate over 2,500 miles a month. Only downside is the actual storage space with in the vehicle.

Hope that isn’t the case. So far SM has been pretty transparent

It's been great! I've had it for about 17 months now, there's plenty of local fast chargers, and I have the NACS adapter, so I was one of the first to use the Tesla chargers when they came online here. We only recently got our L2 installed in the garage, and over the last year I've been looking at the SilveradoEV Trail Boss, purely for it's range, I wish I could want the harvester, but with an EV range under 220 before it kicks on I just can't. We also have a 2015 Volt with 80k miles, it's a fantastic commuter, for my partner who travels less than 25 miles a day, only bought fuel twice

Hello. Can I get clarification of this part of your post? I’m not quite sure what you mean.

I wish I could want the harvester, but with an EV range under 220 before it kicks on I just can't.

Thanks!

Yeah, so the Harvester models propose an all-electric range of 150+\- with 350 range being added by the gasoline "generator" My daily miles can easily exceed the 150 range, and at that point I would be dealing with an engine almost daily, which I just can't handle the idea of, where our Volt might run on gas once every other week, given how my partner drives it. I know the numbers on range aren't final, but for me, if the all-electric range is under 220 (on the harvester models), before the generator, I don't think the harvester would be a great fit, the 350range proposed on the BEV would be plenty, even if it means an extra stop on road trips

I reserved the all electric Terra, I miss my old Silverado and F-150. I was considering the harvester but my daily commute is 150miles on average and I don’t want to run an engine that often. Though in my Bolt I can easily get 230 miles from 80% (the EPA of the car is around 247)
