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.
As far as I can remember, China’s ICE sales peaked in 2017. The US will follow suit, despite the weird attempts to slow down EV sales here.
I laughed far too hard at this. I needed that. Thanks. 
I sure hope. Seems lately like everything is rolling backwards and it’s a shame. I imagine when Ford and other U.S. manufacturers no longer have any market share in these countries with their ICE’s and the EV products are American size instead of European /Asian sized there are gonna be a lot of jobs lost in the automotive sectorWe briefly discussed this before.
The tipping point for a market’s replacement of ICEs with EVs is not when 50% of vehicles sold are BEVs, in the time period of interest. It’s when there are more EVs sold than the difference between new vehicles sold and old vehicles retired—because most vehicles that are retired are ICEs. That tipping point is around 30% for the US. I don’t know the number of old vehicles being retired in China, but I bet it’s a similar ratio.
For the US, the tipping point year will be around 2029.

Yep. And protectionist tariffs won’t keep those jobs nor will it protect the global-trade-dependent companies.
that's why writing regulations is such a skill. You have to be able to think of every way the rules lawyers will try to get around it. It's not as easy as some people think and that is why the CFR is so freaking huge. People laugh about some "simple" rules being so many pages long but this is exactly why.
The 38 CFR used for military disability gives me migraines every time I try to read up on a condition or technicality.
The VA denied that those were service connected btw.
And a massive amount of this is because some fools think it’s more important to stop one person from getting a little bit of help they might not need instead of making sure nobody is excluded from getting the help they do need.
My opinion— for what it’s worth—is that whether they’re service connected is the wrong question. Did a person serve their country honorably (I would include civil servants)? If so, then we need to serve them honorably. Period. I don’t care if health problems started before service, during service, or 30 years after.
yep - unfortunately those skills can be used on bad regulations too. It is a shame to deny people help they need, military or not! I have a friend who is appealing their disability denial - apparently having spinal dislocations causing spontaneous temporary partial paralysis doesn't mean you can't work. Who knew? But disability applications seem to be automatically denied on the first try so we are hopeful for the appeal.
Ford’s Lightning Supertruck ran the Nürburgring in 06:43.482. And clearly had more available, but experienced some issues in the last 45 seconds or so. My guess is overheating.
Nice video. Thanks. Something was certainly holding it back.
I've Driven My 2024 Kia EV6 For A Year. Here’s The Honest Truth
After a year and 15,000 miles of driving, Kia's electric crossover has taught me a lot about EV ownership. Here are the highs and lows.

I wish your friend the best of luck. Don’t let them give up. I waited 15 years to file and submitted it all last year myself. Ended up at 80%.
They denied 8 out of 12 of my contentions. I highlighted the evidence in service treatment records, current diagnosis, continuation of care, etc. May as well have put a bow on it.
“No diagnosis” for those.
Filed a Higher Level Review in February where a senior rater reopens the claim to look for errors. They found three errors, ordered new exams, and closed the claim a few months later with no decision letter, no denial, no explanation.
I’m going to appeal as well. The current wait time is 3-5 years to get in front of a judge.
Fight for him. It can feel pretty hopeless sometimes and having someone there to gas you up can be a Godsend.
A Tesla Model Y has oil filters — but not for what you'd think
A big brag about electric vehicles is how they don't need traditional motor-oil changes, but that doesn't mean they're without oil filters entirely.

Something I hadn't even thought about. It is a gearbox. And gearboxes like lubrication. I wonder what the oil change and filter replacement interval is. 150,000 Miles?

That’s impressive! If scout can deliver 1/3 of that I’m BEV all the way.
Car expert finds Tesla with original powerpack and nearly half a million miles on it: 'People aren't understanding how significant this is'

What we all forget sometimes is that this is all new territory with electric cars. Older electric cars used first-generation battery technology, different battery chemistries, and battery temperature management (packaging). Add in continued software improvements, better battery management, better charging practices and on and on and things will continue to improve. It is technology at the end of the day, and given all the battery-powered devices in our lives, things will only get better.
I just got a new company car - Audi Q6 eTron quattro, which is built on the newer VW Group PPE platform shared with the Porsche Macan and other vehicles. I'll start a separate thread on my experiences living with it, but so far, so good.

Thanks Jamie. Can I ask what PPE stands for? Is this your first BEV? Looking forward to reading about your experience, especially in the winter. Thanks again.
