Scout Has 160,000 Reservations—and 87% Aren’t for the EV
Only four months ago, the reservation mix was 80/20 in favor of the extended-range powertrain.

Scout Motors, the U.S.-based EV startup operating as an independent subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, has announced that it has racked up more than 160,000 reservations for its ladder-frame Traveler SUV and Terra pickup.
That’s obviously great news considering that the company had reported around 130,000 reservations in late October 2025, which means that it has received 30,000 reservations since—or about 7,500 each month.
Scout CEO Says First Customer Deliveries Coming in 2028
Scout CEO said at an Automotive Press Association event in Detroit on March 4 that the company will begin building prototype models this year in South Carolina, according to Reuters.
The automaker previously said volume production would start in 2027, but Keogh said yesterday he expects the SUV and pickup to be in customer hands by 2028. This appears to confirm recent media reports claiming the rollout has been delayed due to technical challenges.
