Scout Motors secures 212,000 vehicle reservations as South Carolina facility nears finish

Electric vehicle startup Scout Motors has accumulated roughly 212,000 reservations for its upcoming Terra pickup truck and Traveler SUV. CEO Scott Keogh stated that the Volkswagen-backed company is experiencing strong early interest as construction on its $2 billion plant in South Carolina enters its final phase. The vehicles will be offered as all-electric versions as well as extended-range electric vehicles, with the hybrid variants and SUVs dominating reservations so far. Full production is expected to start next year, with customer deliveries anticipated to begin in 2028.
