Scout Pushes First Customer Deliveries to 2028 as Traveler SUV Will Launch Before Terra

The CEO set expectations for a longer runway by saying test builds begin in 2026 for iterative development through 2027.

Overview

  • CEO Scott Keogh said he expects vehicles to reach customers sometime in 2028, updating earlier expectations.
  • Scout’s website still lists a 2027 production target with a broad disclaimer that timelines can change.
  • Keogh said a few dozen early prototypes will roll off the line in 2026, with successive generations built into 2027 to mature the platform.
  • The Traveler SUV will lead the rollout ahead of the Terra pickup, reflecting reservations that skew roughly 70–75% SUV and 25–30% truck, with 87% opting for the range-extended variant.
  • Keogh characterized technical issues as routine startup hurdles, a timeline that tracks with a February Der Spiegel report of a roughly one‑year delay.
