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.
It's that you need them it's when you need them. And when you have over supply you give them to family members for holidays and birthdays, it's the gift from the stores that keeps giving.Why do you need fifty grocery bags?
50 is the round number for ~5. 
When you’re in the store and forget one or see a design that you like, you buy another! Whole Foods had really good designs for a while.

I think I’m just impressed with how organized people are. Sure - I have some baseline items, a “winter crate”, and some bigger snow-related things I throw in for good measure… but all of that stuff invariably blends together in a mess as I use them throughout the year.
So my shovel gets tangled up in my tie downs, and my wrenches fall into the “winter crate” and my bungee cords snap back in my face when I try to make room for groceries. I have extra underwear and socks that are too big or too small for anyone in my family and three blankets that have invariably collected dirt and gum from a multitude of outings.
I can no longer find my screw driver and my leatherman is the “bad one that somehow still smells like oysters”
So I don’t know how all of you got all Marie Kondo with your cars but mad respect.

For me it was a choice to control one thing. My office is primarily a "file by stacks of paper" nightmare, but compared to my "hoarder in training" garage it looks great. The car is where I chose to take some control.
For me it'll be the following items:
- Scouter blanket (since I'm a Scout Leader)
- Ranger blanket (from when I was in the army) - I'm hoping to keep both blankets rolled and have some way to attach them to the back of the front seats or the walls of the trunk. Rivian showed off a cool blanket stowage feature on their R3X behind the seats.
- J1772 adapter
- CCS adapter
- level 1/2 charge cable
- booster pack
- tire inflator
- tire repair kit
- first aid kit
- ratchet straps
- bungie cords
- extra washer fluid in the frunk
- USB cables (I have these sweet ones that are super thick and look like guitar amp cables. They're colour coded for lightning and USB-C and have a nice silicon-covered cord)
- shackles and tow strap
- depending on the season I may also carry recovery boards, snow shovel, and/or a chainsaw with batteries and chain oil + sharpening tool.

You definitely won't need the Chademo adapter. That's a dead standard, there aren't many stations that support it, and the adapters are super expensive. You might want to include a CCS adapter though.
As for the NEMA adapters I expect the level 1/2 charger that comes with the vehicle will have those as part of that kit. Even still you probably only need the 14-50 as that's the most common one. Not sure what you'd use the pliers, brush and hair dryer for?
My center console arm rest in my Mini smells like oregano since someone I don’t know who decided leaving an essential oil bottle in it was smart and it melted a hole through the cap. No damage to the car, however I was able to nickname my center console to “Thee Italian ristorante”.
I know why those items are need, it’s to get your self ready while in rush hour. I don’t know what the pliers are for, maybe doing stained glass? I’m surprised a ring light and vanity mirror aren’t on the list lmao.

I worked at a specialty gas company for a while - lots of gases that would kill you before you knew they were there and some that caught fire on exposure to air. Everything we wore had to be FR and a lot of the cylinders were kept outside. So now I have entire outfits of FR clothes and coats and boots to go with them.
I don't know - a leaking gas cylinder spraying green flames is pretty cool tooI’d go with the volcano story
But thanks for sharing the mystery
Hair dryer can melt ice! Pliers can be all kinds of useful… remove a splinter, remove a nail, fix broken jewelry, remove something that fell in a hard-to-reach area, open a box you had to pick up at UPS/FedEx/the post office/etc and are too excited to go home and open and want to make use of whatever is available, etc. I had a Swiss army knife in my purse, but I took it out for flying and forgot to put it back in. Now I’m not sure where it is. I’m messy.Exactly why do we need a hair dryer and needle nose plyers?
Remove a nail
. I mean I thought we were in cahoots but are you torturing people behind my back?
OH-did you mean a construction nail? My bad-ignore my previous responseRemove a nail
