What do we think will come out from CES about the Scout Motors concepts? Or do we think it will be just a smaller reveal event?

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.
Plans are to highlight a new option (albeit more specialized and higher end) and more information on our Community UX. We will do more indepth pieces on both of those technologies in the future. There might also be a couple new "looks" to the Traveler. Both concepts will be on display. I'll be there all week, so I'll post up photos as soon as I'm there.
Looking at the CES website it was hard to tell exactly what it's going to be. I did look at how much air fare would be to Vegas and it's a lot since it's next week. I am just glad to see they are starting to go to events. I know it's too soon this year, but I am hopeful 2026 they will be at the Chicago Auto Show. Ineos has the Grenadiers at auto shows now so there's no reason for Scout not to follow suit!
Thank you, thank you. I am so appreciative you are so responsive to us who are out here impatiently waiting!
Here is the press release for Scout Motors at CES 2025. I will have some new photos and assets over the weekend and will be at the show next week in Las Vegas.

The Right Balance of Touch, Tech, and Connection Brings People Together – Scout Motors announces in-vehicle satellite connectivity and highlights Scout Community UX™ interface at CES 2025
“To make a true Scout vehicle meant we had to listen to consumers and design a versatile tool for today,” said Scott Keogh, President and CEO, Scout Motors. “We’re pairing powerful, state-of-the-art software and in-vehicle satellite connectivity with a community-focused user interface to make our customers’ driving and ownership experience enjoyable and convenient.”
In-vehicle Satellite Connectivity
To add the capability and features consumers desire, Scout Motors announces available in-vehicle satellite connectivity for both the Scout Traveler SUV and Scout Terra truck models.
For peace of mind when off the grid or traveling in rural areas without cell service, to using your vehicle as a Wi-Fi hotspot for your home, worksite or campsite, the available in-vehicle satellite connectivity is one more way Scout Motors is developing a true Connection Machine™.
More than 70 percent of Scout Motors’ research clinic respondents said in-vehicle satellite connectivity was important and they would be interested in an in-vehicle satellite internet option.
Scout Traveler SUVs and Scout Terra trucks with in-vehicle satellite connectivity will be pre-wired from the factory for the satellite Wi-Fi feature. The vehicle hotspot is intended to have broad reach to help drivers and passengers stay connected in and around their vehicle.
Scout Traveler SUV Concept Vehicle
The Scout Traveler SUV on display at CES has been updated in order to imagine the possibilities with features and accessories consumers can choose for their own Scout vehicle including the Harvester™ Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) option, an added roof rack with forward lighting and space for a satellite antenna, Rallye graphics, and spare-tire-mounted, five-gallon gas can for peace of mind during off-the-grid adventures.
Scout Motors Community UX™
Scout vehicle designers employed a thoughtful, customer-focused process for designing the user experience for the Traveler SUV and Terra truck.
“We listened to our customers and created an experience that’s intuitive, versatile, and uniquely Scout,” said Chris Benjamin, Scout Motors Chief Design Officer. “Our Community UX is grounded, warm, and approachable, yet it’s innovative and modern, offering everything drivers need without overwhelming their experience.”
The Community UX interface is setting a new benchmark for human-centered design in Scout vehicles. The system will deliver a seamless integration of intuitive technology, tactile controls, responsiveness, and adaptable design, creating a connected experience for drivers and passengers alike.
With the right balance of touch and tech, the Community UX interface redefines the relationship between physical and digital controls, blending thoughtfully placed tactile buttons, knobs, and hardware with highly responsive screens. This approach provides drivers with the right control at the right time and ensures that essential features are always within reach. From HVAC adjustments to vehicle settings, quick access controls utilize familiar gestures, such as a swipe-down interface, to offer an instinctive, smartphone-like experience. It’s a helpful companion for every journey.
Designed for safety and security, simplicity, and comfort, Scout vehicles prioritize safety and usability through thoughtful ergonomics. A 16.2-inch, 24:9 ratio screen aligns with the dashboard for better visibility, reducing blind spots, and enhancing readability. Larger icons, clear layouts, and generous touch areas ensure a low-effort interaction for both drivers and passengers. Physical and digital controls work in harmony, helping drivers stay focused on the road while maintaining control of key features.
Blending heritage with ingenuity, Community UX reflects the Scout brand’s bold legacy and innovative spirit. By pairing modern technology with authentic, tactile interactions, it becomes more than just a user interface—it’s a connection machine that builds bonds between the driver, vehicle, and the land around them.

Thanks for the update, Jamie! It's great to see more features. I'm excited to see the Rallye graphics.
Jamie just to clarify, we won’t have any details on battery size or harvester specifications yet right?
Thank you, i kinda remember you posting after the event that it would be around another year before we get anything on powertrain specs.
Nice, it'll be interesting to see if going with low latency mid orbit Starlink or more traditional satelite connectivity.
Also if there'll be any data caps.
Eg, is this connectivity really only for making WiFi phonecalls, limited map or data downloads. Or are my kids gunna be able to play Fortnite when the trip is excessively long and I give in letting them play to keep the peace...

> including the Harvester™ Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) option,
Is the Harvester going to be on the shown SUV? And is this another SUV (a 3rd physical vehicle) or the same orange one, just with extra fun new stuff added on?
Well worth the wait holy crap is this thing sick!
Really cool how the satellite is built into the roof rack!
