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.
Analog displays with a needle sweep for your speedometer etc. Give this the full throwback treatment!
Welcome to the forum. If you dig around a bit (or a lot
) you’ll find all kinds of cool stuff on the forum. I do recall they are looking at an elongated needle sweep speedometer option as one of the screen options. Check things out. The search button will become a great resource for searching 2-1/2 years of crazy talk and genius ideas combined. The/we/us OG’s will always help out if you have questions

Great Scott… and all I want is a flux capacitorWelcome to the forum. If you dig around a bit (or a lot
There’s gonna be an option for the flux capacitor-limited edition, comes with a hover board and a tattered white hair wig. The UX lights up like a jukebox with an entire playlist.
Jokingly aside-wow-the UX looking like a jukebox box front would be a cool idea-or better yet-8-track BABY!
@THil08 -do you know what an 8-track player is? I barely do so I’m guessing some people on the forum missed that evolution of life
Ah well now I feel old! I had one in my room in middle school. I had Blondie on 8 track!There’s gonna be an option for the flux capacitor-limited edition, comes with a hover board and a tattered white hair wig. The UX lights up like a jukebox with an entire playlist.

Okay, now I'm pissed. I am getting the Terra, so there is no place to install my flux capacitor without blocking the rear window.
Can you saddle pack it on the rear driver’s side window. That’s all but useless anyway
Hopefully this innovation will be a standard feature.

8 track all the way! It would match the factory 8 track player in my 74 AMC Javelin!There’s gonna be an option for the flux capacitor-limited edition, comes with a hover board and a tattered white hair wig. The UX lights up like a jukebox with an entire playlist.

Ok now that dash is incredible!!! Talk about retro that would be so sweet with the chrome and mix modern tech… I love that
I had 8 tracks in both my 1964 Triumph TR4A and 1967 Mustang GTA. Great tech. for the day.
Hey Scout Team and fellow enthusiasts,
I’m beyond excited for the Terra and everything Scout is building — it’s exactly the kind of vehicle I’ve been dreaming about for real adventures off the beaten path.
One feature I would love to see (and that I haven't seen mentioned yet) is an integrated Anderson plug or another standard solar input port directly into the vehicle/truck bed. Something that allows owners to easily plug in their own solar panels — ideally handling 300-1000+ watts — without needing a bunch of workarounds.
Here’s the vision: I’m planning to add a pop-up rooftop tent to the Terra, and I want to mount solar panels on top of the tent. Instead of lugging around a huge external battery like a Jackery or Anker just to harvest that solar energy, it would be incredible to plug directly into the vehicle.
This would let us:
Having a dedicated solar input would seriously extend the reach and utility of the Terra, especially for those of us chasing trails far away from traditional charging networks.
This feels like such a natural fit for the spirit of Scout: rugged, independent, ready for anything.
Please consider adding this — it would make an already awesome platform even more unstoppable!
Thanks for considering, and thanks for building something this community is so passionate about.

This would let us:
- Charge the vehicle slowly with solar while out camping
- Power gadgets, fridges, lights, etc. straight from the vehicle without the fear of taking away range
- Have a backup energy source for emergencies
- Maximize the Terra + Harvester setup for true dual-fuel, solar-supported adventures

This has been discussed before, but never, I think, presented so well. Search the forum for “solar ready”. I think it’s a great idea and would be a great differentiator - very forward looking.Hey Scout Team and fellow enthusiasts,
