Very interested in factory delivery. Would make the buying experience an actual enjoyable experience.
Are factory deliveries for reservation holders being considered?

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.
Could be quite a "news buzz" to see 1,000 new Scouts heading out across the Nation, all on the same day! I'll be the guy headed for California!
Love the idea of factory tours and factory delivery, any thoughts of an option to take delivery at the Novi R&D center? I am 4 miles away and that drive seems much more palpable than the drive to SC and back.
I’m right by Penn State and actually picked up a E92 earlier this summer from Bethlehem. Not a convertible but drove her all the way home with the windows down and music up.
But you’ll miss out on the off road course and plant tour
I grew up in Belleville and went to PSU. You’re in a great area.

I’m located right off the Reedsville/Belleville exit and travel the Seven Mountains everyday for work.
Not sure of age but moved the year before Kishacoquillas HS merged with the other district. Lots of memories in that neck of the woods. I’m not sure I could do that mountain everyday. Would love to see what that does for the battery. I know it’s not a huge mountain but that grade approach is just tough-though the views are great. I’ll be up early January for a PSU hockey game.
Bumping this and hoping to get @Jamie@ScoutMotors attention… let’s make this a reality.
Maybe the same could be done for CDN buyers but at the battery factory.
A Mebanite! I used to live there. Also lived in Charlotte and surrounding areas and still have family there so I could absolutely make an excuse for a factory pickup.
While not as far as you (2,400 miles), I’m having the same thoughts. Time of delivery will play a factor. Cutting across the country in the middle of winter wouldn’t be very fun.I can see how this would be fun, and am glad it exists.
I just checked, and it’s about 2900miles one way for me. Im no stranger to long road trips, but yikes. Sounds like I’ll be taking the delivery option.
The only other time in my life that I’ve been to South Carolina (to the best of my recollection) was while we drove to/from Texas when I was a kid. Google Maps claims that I can do this in one 13-hour drive. 
I’d like to blow out some tires and eat the hell out of some shrimp and grits. The place around here that did a really good job of recreating lowcountry food for Northern swine closed during the pandemic. 
Sign me up. Maybe Scout will let us benchmark the best speed for shooting the windows out of a Prius.

Butterfly roof on this building! Is there anything you’re doing that isn’t totally amazing?Here are some early renderings of what the Scout Experience Center could look like. Subject to change.
This will be located at our Blythewood, South Carolina Production Center. More details as we get closer.

I think the only thing for sale at the bakery counter (as seen in image 3550) are unpeeled eggs and bottles of olive oil, yet the decorative signage says “vegan” along with a lot of other illustrative words, so no, they’re not doing anything that isn’t totally amazing.
Fireplace? Espresso? Multiple flavored syrups? Nothing to eat but eggs? This place rules.
Clearly, I need to put on a pair of cheaters to more closely inspect the bakery counter offerings. I mean, it’s South Carolina, but it’s not Orangeburg.I think the only thing for sale at the bakery counter (as seen in image 3550) are unpeeled eggs and bottles of olive oil, yet the decorative signage says “vegan” along with a lot of other illustrative words, so no, they’re not doing anything that isn’t totally amazing.
I'm in agrrement w/factory pick-up. I would get to Carolina and drive home from the factory. I'm in Jersy w/a son in Virgina.

Great news! Keep us posted!This is something we are actively exploring. Short answer is very likely.
