From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
As a Jeep owner I didn’t think it was loud at all!

? i can delete my post...just give me the word..lol
Really awesome video! I had a feeling this is why the vehicles were down in LA.
I’m taking my toys and going home!
To make s’mores ?
First off, I do hope they change that road noise. It sounded like gear noise - the same noise I got on my Jeep before I had to do a $2k repair to the rear axle. Jay mentions at 18:10 that it is a test mule - the gear noise will be addressed during development. Jamie did not comment on Jay's observation. Jay mentions the gear whine again at 26 minutes - don't judge the car by the whine, it's a test mule. Must be annoying as hell though...
I am still going through the video, but "Steady State" might be part of the issue. They want the Harvester to provide enough electricity to maintain a steady state at 70mph. Hook up a trailer, and the amount of energy to tow at 70mph probably doubles. If the Harvester can not provide that level of power, there will be no steady state (you will be draining the battery). At some point, they could partially address this in software - They are already planning a mode that starts the Harvester early for performance. They would just need to see what it can handle and for how many miles. Perhaps you could get 7-8k of towing if you plan ahead and accept you are towing with an EV with a range extender - that will still need periodic charging during the trip (as opposed to just adding gas and keep driving).

Power density is also affected by chemistry, and a host of other characteristics, it’s not just capacity and charging speed.
