What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

  • 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.

But I think the Rivian ones are for Charging the Rivian you already own.

The point is to ‘rent’ a Scout (for the price of a cup of coffee) for three hours to get to experience it.

Rivian has a service center 6 miles from my house but it’s in an industrial park and you can’t even sit in a Rivian, only get the one you already own serviced.

From what I've seen, the Rivian Outposts have a couple vehicles on hand for people looking to do a test drive while their car is charging. Overall I love the idea of the Rivian Outposts but also accept that it probably comes out of their marketing budget. Great for raising brand awareness via content creators and those who stop by, but it simply can't scale.

Scout would be better off complementing their brick and mortar with rolling road shows/pop up events to get product into the hands of more potential customers around the country...and yes that can include hosting events at cool places like Rivian (eg a national park, maybe a ski resort, some big event, etc.).

Rivian has (at present) 3 different types of public locations that they seem centered around:

1. SC's - like the one 6 miles from your house (for Rivian owners to get service)
2. Rivian Spaces - Urban locations to sit in a Rivian or go for a scheduled test drive
3. Outposts - Seem to be the next gen rural general store for charging and adventure (i.e. Joshua Tree, open to all EV's)

What is a Rivian Space?

Our spaces are for experiencing Rivian in real life — places where you can play with our vehicles*, learn something new, hang out and connect with your community. We choose our spaces for their vibrant locations or their storied past — ultimately, these are places we’d like you to come in and stay awhile.

*Retail vehicle sales and marketing activity will depend on state and local regulations for each location.
