We still don't know what the motor consumption and what the generator will be out putting. It could be that the generator will be able to run the wheel and charge the battery considering they had an “Max” option for the harvester modes.

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 expect ranges to go up over time too.
That said, I'm not expecting the average to jump by that much.
There was an article about this just today actually. You can see the average today is 283 miles for all EV's in the US. And... when I look at that trend line, I"m not thinking that in the next 2-3 years, the average will be 350-400 miles.
But yes, I mean, Scout was guessing on a lot of things, and trying to predict things years down the line. So, it is possible that the mileage numbers will be somewhat different than what they stated at the reveal event (could go up or down, hopefully up). I just won't be holding my breath for 600 miles.
EV tech is always advancing. Scout's numbers could be better by the time they're for sale. I expect continuous improvements, whether they're year-to-year, mid-cycle, or Gen2. However, rugged vehicles like Scout will never reach the efficiency of a $110k Lucid sedan. SUVs and pickups will always give up efficiency for utility. It comes with the territory.
I’d be shocked if they intro new tech mid cycle. Imagine we all reserve, get the first 38,000 out the SURPRISE-we changed tech and now it’s standard with an additional 175 mile range. As a gen 2 I can understand the change and by then SS batteries may be mainstream enough to warrant the change but SM will walk a thin line of hatred if they push out first year models then turn around 1-1/2 years later and just increase. My guess they’d introduce the advancement as an upgrade purchase price with a nice profit that way early buyers do t get screwed and long rangers can pay for the extra. Just my thinking
