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 Scoutsā¢. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.

America's EV Charging Network Is About To Skyrocket
Led by Tesla, ChargePoint and EVgo, the deployment of new public fast charging ports reached record levels in the second quarter.

It is good to see that charging network growth has not be stifled by our current administration position on EV production & adoption.Some good newsā¦

Such a good video. I like how they actually studied where eyes go and get distracted.
See we don't need government subsidies for charging. These companies have it handled.Some good newsā¦

@Jamie@ScoutMotors the tailgate on the Terra is the release going to be electric or an actual handle that has to be pulled? Kinda curious since most truck are now electronic release, but buttons wear down.
Let's point out that subsidies are handed out in this country for water, farming, oil, gas and on and on and on.
The production vehicle will have a mechanical handle.
True. Even my house is subsidized by the Bank believe it or not. And the Government charges me property taxes even though I own the property. Shows how the Government is a major Cash Cow, something the founding fathers wanted to get away from, but a few bad votes turned it into this.
I am sure you already know this. Property taxes are required on land you own because they help fund local services such as schools, roads, and emergency services. But I get your point.

Drawing Parallels: Lessons from Rome
Here's how the fall of Rome might metaphorically or structurally relate to the scalability challenges of solid-state batteries:| Fall of Rome (Historical) | Solid-State Battery Scalability (Modern) |
|---|---|
| Collapse of a large, complex system | Difficulty scaling a complex, promising technology |
| Overexpansion without adapting infrastructure | Rapid research advances but lagging industrial capacity |
| Fragmented political leadership | Fragmented R&D efforts and lack of standardization |
| Disruption of trade and resources | Material supply chain issues (e.g., rare materials) |
| Loss of knowledge centers | Need for interdisciplinary collaboration (chemistry, engineering, policy) |
What Can Be Learned?
- Infrastructure Matters: Romeās collapse shows that even a dominant system can fail without adaptive infrastructure. SSBs need scalable, robust manufacturing systems and supply chains.
- Stability & Governance: Just as Rome needed centralized control, the battery industry benefits from standards, regulations, and strategic coordination.
- Overpromising vs. Reality: Rome overextended; modern tech often overpromises. Solid-state batteries are promising, but need realism in timelines and capabilities.
Final Thought
While Rome didnāt directly affect solid-state battery development (they didnāt even have electricity!), the fall of a great empire due to systemic weaknesses serves as a cautionary tale for modern technological ambitions. Without careful planning, coordination, and resilience, even the most revolutionary innovations can stall or collapse under their own weight.

This is good news!
But at the same time we have no idea who the battery manufacturer is. @Jamie@ScoutMotors when can you drop the initials of the company?
