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.
The Every1 has some of the same design problems that are were present on the protoype Buzz. Removing the seams between panels, and reducing the gaps between others make for a more streamline appearance - but they don't seem to follow over very well into production. I liked the look of the prototype Buzz MUCH more than the production one. The changes were not all that bad, but they just added up to a completely different feel for me. That said, the nails in the coffin were the price and range. Hell even if I could get over the price, the range was not consistent with the road trip vehicle I felt a VW Bus should be. Its range really did not fit in the US market niche. Perhaps it will develop it's own niche, but it's not the peg to fit in the whole I had carved out for it.

That it would be. The only reason i think its not is because it’s hydrogen powered. And the world is very far away from hydrogen.

Pirelli Launches New Scorpion XTM All-Terrain Tire That's Also for EVs
Not only is this new Pirelli all-terrain tire quiet on the road, but it is also durable, athletic, and stylish. It might come on your next new truck or SUV.
This is not related to the current administrations policies, but we have the Chicken Tax to thank for that.
Its why our domestic truck brands arent incentivized to innovate.
Many truck owners would be just fine with a diesel Hilux that gets 25mpg and runs forever.
(Spicy language warning)
Besides the Chicken Tax we also have some pretty strict car safety regulations that some of the trucks don't have over seas.
He goes over that at around the 7:50 mark and explains why vehicles have gotten larger due to emissions regulations.
that's why I'm confused on how Telo is making it to the market. They can brag all they want about the crash structure, but nothing is going to slow down a car coming at you at 50mph hitting that horribly designed front.
I am a truck fan for the real purpose of trucks. My business has many trucks in the fleet. I own a Jeep Comanche. But, not so much for the giant, luxury, trucks out there today. I know that comment will anger some, but it is my opinion that these vehicles have become too large, dangerous and inefficient for personal use. I do not think they should be legislated away. But, I do think they should be taxed differently for the extra weight, extra fuel, extra emissions, and extra danger to smaller vehicles and pedestrians. I also think that there may be the need for additional driver's license endorsements for todays trucks. You have to have an endorsement for a motorcycle, but not for a giant truck. I would also be remiss if I did not mention that many personal truck drivers are extremely aggressive and inconsiderate. Rant over.
Good looking tires as far as side treads goPirelli Launches Scorpion XTM All-Terrain Tire for Both EVs and Gas Vehicles

I like the quiet claim, if it is real. All-terrain tires can be very noisy at highway speeds.
I generally like Pirellis. This tire might even be made in their Rome, Georgia factory. But, sadly, Pirelli is majority owned by the Chinese now. I hope this is not the choice for Scout.
So the KO3s aren’t for sure yet? And are we thinking it will be something like a Wrangler where you can choose a street tire versus and off road tire. I really dislike street tires on a vehicle like this. I know off road tires are more noisy on the road but it needs off road tires as far as I’m concerned. She says as she rides around on Goodyear DuraTracs with a Clearlidz installed and the people in the back seat have to yell at her to be heard.
I should have stated more clearly, that I hope the Pirellis are not an option. The KO3s are definitely on the list. My tire choice is an aggressive looking on road AT or All Season. I hope it is a Michelin.
Pirellis are the Ferrari of tires, if it gonna cost me 450 a tire. I’m out lol.
