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.
Probably depends on the vehicle.
In our car lvl 0 basically drives like the standard ICE vehicle we’re all use to. There’s some very slight regen when you take your foot off the accelerator, but generally you coast.
As you increase, on our car there’s paddles, the regen increases and as you take you’re foot off the accelerator and the car slows down to varying degrees.
All the way up to 1 pedal driving, where if you take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle will come to a stop. It brakes somewhat aggressively. Not like stomping on the brakes, but you can definitely feel it. Takes some time to get a feel for making it smooth. Now that I’m use to it, I love it, and get slightly annoyed in my truck when I have to actually brake.
Thanks so much everyone for explaining all of this. I appreciate it.
I would put level 0 as a manual transmission car with the clutch in or transmission out of gear - no slowing at all. Unless it detects something ahead, my Audi EV is at level 0 (pure coasting) when I let off the accelerator. It has paddles (and the brake pedal) to engage regen.
That’s a good analogy. And I’d add that 1 pedal driving is like being in first gear, but without rpm limits. You can go as fast as you want but when you take your foot off the gas it can slow down very suddenly.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced driving stick in an older car where the brakes don’t quite work, right? Or is that just me?
I am old enough to understand the analogy. Please give me a coast mode..
My partner took about two weeks to get used to 1pd. Before that, she drove with 1pd off. I'm visiting family who has a Chevrolet Bolt and it has 1pd turned off. I dislike it, but won't turn it on because I don't want to forget and leave 1pd on when I leave. It's been a little over a week and I've mostly rehabituated to no 1pd.
If you are having a hard time in a Rivian and you are new to Regen and 1-pedal driving, it is likely either related to the drive mode you are in (which impacts pedal sensitivity), or the Regen setting. You can reduce the amount of regen directly, or switch to a different drive mode with a lower preset and less pedal sensitivity (like snow mode). Super easy and simple.
My advice for new drivers would be to use a lower regen setting to start (if that is available in your vehicle), and adjust accordingly as you get more used to it. Once you are used to it, you will likely realize how much energy is lost to friction brakes and how inefficient ICE vehicles are compared to EV's.
