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.
Most new vehicles will allow you to turn on the AC, (generally full blast) using the key-fob. For other niceties an App. will be required.
A vehicle in the Scout’s price range will have an app. Heck my son’s Hyundai Venue has an app that allows you to do that.
Since they are using Rivian software, there is a very strong chance, if not a guarantee that they will use this Rivian feature.
It automatically kicks the AC on to protect the screens in the vehicle.
I too live in a hot climate. We see 100*+ pretty often, and since we live near a lake it gets pretty humid too.
I did make a feature request for pre-cooling the cab with the phone app in the Suggestion Box thread. Also requested solar window treatment as an option.
The additional roof insulation is also a great idea. May knock a few pounds off of the payload capacity, but that’s fine with me.
Everyone has an App. My Stove, refrigerator and microwave have an App. Why they have an App isn't clear. I can do everything without it, with the exception of preheating my oven as I am leaving the grocery store with that frozen pizza. As they say there's an App. for that.
I dunno if it applies to all vehicles, but it seems that the scout EVs were designed by people cooler than me
Yesterday I loaned my Lightning to a buddy who needed to move a bunch go stuff.
While he had the truck, I received an alert on my phone telling me about a fault with one of the systems.
I called him up and asked if he needed a rescue. No, but he had seen the fault alert pop up on the dash as well.
It’s a simple enough fault to deal with, but it was nice to get the alert on my phone.
The app also lets me know about things like washer fluid and tire pressure.
I look at my tire and I can see it's low. I hit washer fluid button and it doesn't work. Fill it up later. These sensors are rippoff. We need a base model.
I dont want / need a sunroof, have had them in my last 2 trucks,denali and escalade and never used them, dont want to pay for it
Have you never wanted to watch a movie at a drive-in, nor a sunset over the Grand Canyon, or waited in the car until the kids get out of school, or waited for a ferry, or any of a myriad of things best done sitting with the engine and all those power draining accessories OFF?
Absolutely dislike all that. There are many instances where I need to move the vehicle a couple of feet or inches and with my Tundra I can't without sitting in, seat belt on, door fully closed. Like hooking up a trailer. Most of the time the rear camera makes it perfect, but on a bright sunny day when the hitch is in the shadow, it's invisible. So you have to hop out and in a few times to get the ball in the right spot.
Funny you say that, I was actually at the drive in last night. Quick change in settings to turn walk away lock off and lights set to keep off and it powered down while we watched outside. Lost 0% charge while I was there. Last time we went a storm came through half way so we sat in the car with the screen and lights off with the ac on to keep cool. Never thought a start/stop button would really be a benefit to me in these situations. There is an option to completely power off while in the car too if you want.
Yeah, but I don’t want to fiddle with settings, and figure what settings I need to change and go through menus and crap like that, I just want to turn off the d@*# car! A simple power button is exactly what I’m looking for.
For me it’s two taps to do that or one voice command against hundreds of times not having to press a button for no reason when I get in to drive or when I get out so worth it for me.
My Tundra came with a useful app, but after a bit more than a year they disabled it and told me about the monthly bill I'd need to pay to keep it running. I say if it came with the vehicle then they should support it for the reasonable life of the vehicle.
EGGGSACTLY !!! And if you add some stress to whatever situation (like a tornado on the horizon, or hail damage, the clear thinking to browse menus might just be compromised.
Well in the emergency situation of a tornado or something needing a quick exit no button is better because you just get out and it turns off without having to press anything.My Tundra came with a useful app, but after a bit more than a year they disabled it and told me about the monthly bill I'd need to pay to keep it running.

Not exactly a feature, but just read where VW was requiring a subscription on some models to "unlock" boost mode on some ID3's. Subscriptions to unhobble existing features - that would really help sales... Most reddit posts are - will never buy another VW.
