An AutoForecast Solutions report says Scout Motors' Traveler SUV will enter production on September 1, 2028, while the Terra pickup is now slated to begin production on March 1, 2030.
Scout had earlier targeted 2026 and then 2027 for initial production; Der Spiegel reported delays to summer 2028 and CEO Scott Keogh later said he expected deliveries in 2028. The Scout factory is still under construction and no public test mules have been seen.
Scout's website still lists initial production as "targeted for 2027," but an updated FAQ says validation vehicles begin in 2026 and customers should expect deliveries in 2028; a Scout spokesperson reiterated that wording and declined to comment on the AutoForecast report. More than 87% of Scout's roughly 160,000 reservation holders prefer the Harvester range‑extender, and Scout has said EREV models will launch before fully electric variants.
AutoForecast's report also included internal model codes and projected end-of-production dates—Traveler through August 28, 2037, and Terra through February 27, 2039—but provided no technical details on the causes of the delays.
