What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

  • 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 okay to keep some thoughts to yourself. A little self-editing is a good thing. I suspect there are many openings in your social calendar.

A silent mode, so even when in EV only, the pedestrian safety noise can be turned off below 20 mph.

The idea is so nature trail low speed not making loud noises to scare away birds, and to not be super annoying while doing off road obstacles.

The Honda hybrids are very loud when at a stop in drive even. Avoid that please!
Unfortunately this is a regulation and it cannot be disabled, muted, etc. I can say, however, that they are terribly fragile things. Soon after I bought both of my last 2 EVs, I went over some really rough railroad tracks and wouldn't you know it, they stopped making noise.

Along those lines, one feature I wish more EVs had, is a pedestrian horn. The original Chevy Volt had this, before the days of the stupid spaceship sounds we have today. It was a quiet horn that you could use to softly beep if someone was walking down the middle of a parking lot lane or something. Because my external speakers are broken, I do sometimes sneak up on people. I don't want to scare the monkeys out of them with the big horn so I just patiently wait until they hear the heater or AC fan noise and move over. But the Volt pedestrian horn was a great solution. It let you be quiet when you wanted to be quiet (well, if your external speakers break like mine always seem to do) but also give a soft sound when you need it.

The Ineos Grenadier has that little horn. Theirs is on the steering wheel. The little red toot horn with the bicycle on it. I think that’s a great idea.

Can I also say that I loved the saddle leather steering wheel. It was so nice.

So, two different horns? Steering wheel center and Toot button.
