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.

VW Will Develop Next-Gen Golf EV With Help From Rivian — The Drive
More has come to light about the $5.8 billion partnership between Rivian and Volkswagen Group as well as what it will actually lead to. Yes, EVs, but more specifically, Audi and Porsche will utilize Rivian’s EV architecture and software as early as 2027.
I'd like to see the USA data. China and Norway are going to skew those numbers.
Fair enough but there continues to be data that EV growth is happening and ICE is in decline
To be fair, I don’t think Norway is big enough to skew the numbers. On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are big enough and successful enough that they’re starting to put serious pressure on older manufacturers. Nissan, probably the number 3 Japanese manufacturer is in dire straits, largely due to its inability to compete with Chinese car companies. VW is also suffering from its difficulty trying to compete in chinas huge market. Even if we completely cut off China from the American market, every manufacturer is going to be competing with China on the international scene. If we don’t figure out how to build and sell EVs efficiently and effectively, then American manufacturers will be reduced to a niche market, if they survive at all.
It seems that Ford knows this. Their CEO said they are going to focus (no pun intended) on smaller and more affordable EVs. He is enamored with the Xiaomi SU7 and how good he says it is. I'd like to think that VW knows this issue as well by building something people want for the US market.
November construction update was posted today under the stories page. Really starting to look like it’s time to start building my Traveler 
That was a SPECTACULAR interview. SM needs to get permission to share that and post under their stories page because I have a whole new respect for Chris. Having gone through architecture school I can relate to a lot of Chris’s early life but wow, just a great way to share the talent that SM has on their team.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors you guys have been doing great on your stories too but this is a great candid point of view and for a designer to be so humble is impressive. Definitely hope you consider pushing this to the stories page.
@nickaburns88 thanks again for sharing this-really enjoyed it!

At the timestamp where he joins in. Lot Q&A discussions.
Mentions using real mechanical door handles. Which was nice to see. A fair bit of EREV discussion (but no new hard details):
