Scout Motors just dropped fresh footage showing its SUV and pickup truck with a 350-mile range and an optional Scout EV range extender. The vehicles are set for Scout Motors deliveries starting in early 2027.
Scout Motors vs Rivian: Design and Powertrain
The new Scout looks like a direct rival to Rivian. Similar boxy styling, similar adventure focus, and even shared software vibes. Where Scout pulls ahead is the range-extender option: a small gas generator that kicks in for extra miles, exactly like the old BMW i3 setup. For off-road trips or remote camping, that hybrid capability removes range anxiety without forcing a full gas vehicle.
What This Means for Tesla Owners
Tesla drivers chasing adventure vehicles now have another option. The Rivian R2 vs Tesla Model Y comparison already showed how Rivian targets the same buyers as Model Y. Scout adds the range-extender twist that pure EVs still lack. If you tow an RV or want to sell your house and live off-grid, the Scout pickup truck 2027 could feel more practical than a Cybertruck or Model Y.
If you're thinking about switching, Plug Motors — get an instant offer to sell your Tesla or EV can get you a cash offer in 15 minutes and close in two days.
Bottom Line
Hype vehicles only matter once Scout Motors deliveries actually happen. The 350-mile range and Scout EV range extender make the Scout Motors SUV release worth watching, especially against Rivian. I'll check one out in person once they hit showrooms next year.
