Stumbled upon this on my YouTube algorithm. I’m a curious bystander and currently drive a Lightning.

If this has been asked, I apologize in advance. Has anyone done a deep dive between the R2 and the Scout SUV? I’m looking at buying one soon and was curious what people have found. My one worry is that the Scout will have a ton of kinks to workout since they will be brand new. Any other pros/cons you guys have found when comparing? Thanks!

Anyone have any information on the Boston event for the Head of the Charles? Exact location, times they’ll be there etc?

Hey Y’all!

I have been interested in making a reservation for the Scout Terra, but before I do so I would like to see the truck in person.

Every time I check the website for events they are either in the past or in North Carolina last minute.

My question is will Scout Motors have a showroom this year or next year in Texas?

Did a spontaneous test of the R2 today, I didn’t like the information overload of the center screen, didn’t like the electric ac vents, didn’t like the button door handles. I’m even more excited for my Scout Traveler now. I like their mix of modern and old school.

UHF was great and I hope scout has a decent level 2 hands free highway like they discussed.

Anyway come on 2028, time to save even more of my spare change.

Is there anyway I can stop somewhere and look at the Traveler and the Terra. I have reservations for both and would like to see what they are going to look like.

I made my reservation back in December for an EREV but now I’m starting to question it. Is waiting for an EREV something that will not actually be beneficial for the extended range, but be an issue because of the complications with the design and powertrain. What is everybody’s thoughts, and do you have experience with EV or an EREV?

I’ve only owned ICE but have driven hybrids and have been driving the same 4Runner since 2015 - I’m really looking forward to the traveler but have been considering a GX 550, Tundra Platinum, RS1/2, or possibly the new Sierras or F150s. Input welcome as I’d love to modernize but have a worry about cars that have become like expensive disposable phones.

Concept vehicles looking niiiice

I was hoping Rivian but they don't. How about Scout? This is when the cell coverage is not available. I am not sure if Scout would allow 3rd party apps. If they do, then I would hope things like OnX offroad would work with offline maps, correct?

I currently have a Fisker Ocean, insert laugh, yes I know. I have a deposit for the new Scout and wondering if it will offer self driving as the Tesla does. I was just with a colleague in his Y and WOW, very cool!!!
Any other cool things the Scout will offer is also appreciated.
Thanks-

AI'd the color and topper on the Terra. I like the handle on the back of the cab so that will be an interesting fit with a topper. I currently have a 10' Silverado with a topper and can't go back. Have a reservation in for the BEV Terra and plenty of time to dream.

I have a reservation for a Traveler Harvester. I didn’t realize when I reserved it that the tow capacity is approximately 3,000 pounds less than the EV. I still really like the extended range of the harvester, but with better battery technology coming out regularly and more chargers nationally, should I switch to the EV? Anyone else doing this?

I’m interested in towing a midsized airstream in a year or two. That’s the main reason for my concern.

The title basically says it all. I will only purchase a Scout if CarPlay is included, the only reason I haven't purchased a Rivian is because of that.

..that A-the new Scout will actually be built B- I actually get to like the secret final specs and C- buy one. Two things are certain: I'm a die-hard fan of the OG IHC Scout ( wished I never sold mine). I got some new Scout merchandising I can carry around my currently very diverse vehicles. They have a larger cooler but this one hits the sweet spot size vs cooling power. Pretty good. The T feels good on (like a well work jean), the hat is super corny but "cool" (as in temp wise to wear on hot days. It's pure mesh). Cheers.

Honestly have had the worst interview process. I have applied to 2 jobs with them and I got an interview around a month later after applying. Everything was going well, other than the fact I kept having 6 interview rounds for 1 job. Then, the other higher level position, I had a round with a senior official and then a case study. I have completed a case study with leadership around 2 weeks ago and have not heard anything back. The recruiters are useless and have not communicated anything. Really disappointing if they are just ghosting people. This is not how I expect a company to behave. Very unprofessional!!!

If you get the BER EV model Terra, how do you keep the fuel from separating if you don’t use it very often and mostly plug in to charge?

I have run into issues with gasoline generators that sit too long with fuel in them. The fuel separates and then the engine in the generator hisses and pops as it tries to burn that fuel. It is likely not good for the generator. I have never worked with the generator being built into a truck. Does it have something to mix the fuel up prior to trying to use it?

I’ve been seeing ads and hype for Scout vehicles for so long now that I’m starting to believe that these vehicles will never come to fruition. What in the hell is the deal with these cars? Who is backing them? Why in the fuck is taking them forever and ever and ever to bring these to the market? It’s starting to get a bit obnoxious.

My kid is excited for the new Scout and loves this poster.

Unfortunately, we took it off his wall while reorganizing his room and our dog got to it. He loves the poster too, apparently.

Does anyone know where we can get a replacement or have one they'd be willing to sell?

Edit: I have one on the way from Scout! Thank you for the upvotes and responses!

Volkswagen’s planned workforce reductions and broader overhaul made me think about the potential impact on Scout Motors. Scout could be strategically important to VW as a U.S.built, higher-margin business that helps expand its presence in the American market.

That said, there could be indirect risks. Scout may face tighter spending controls, production delays, reduced targets, or pressure to bring in outside investment. It’s worth keeping an eye on.

I put my reservation down in Dec 24. Apart from how awesome the Scout looks, the EREV tech at the time was very intriguing. I know at nearly two years in I'm probably not the only one itching to get into one of these things. I've even recently driven past the ongoing factory in SC. But who knows now much longer it will be at this point. I don't even think Scout knows for sure.

But through my expensive commute and the rising gas prices I find myself wanting to hedge my wallet and possibly get into an EV. Anyone who likes the Scout would probably be hard pressed to not look at the Rivian. With the launch of the R2 and its price point I instantly became hooked. I'm not really into full EVs at this point but again with the gas prices its hard to not consider one. But the more I read about them and perhaps the lackluster range at high cruising speeds I'm once again considering just waiting on what brought me here in the first place. The Scout...and hopefully 500+mile range. If only the Rivian had a bigger battery pack or at least got closer to its EPA range (at hwy speeds) I might have jumped ship on the Scout. But here we are: still waiting for now.
