Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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 all hinges on whether SC changes their anti DTC law or not.

After watching that hearing in the SC legislature eatlier this year that Cody Thacker and several others attended, it sure looked to me like the dealer lobby has a tight stranglehold on the legislature.
But there are ways around that. I can certainly process my sale in PA then drive myself down there to pick it up and experience the off-road portion. Sadly SC residents may need to drive to NC to order theirs then back to do pick up but I’m sure that can be worked around for an experience delivery
 
Looks like Horse Powertrain is copying taking inspiration from Scout's idea for a EREV generator and trying to sell it to other auto makers.
(that is my interpretation and you can't change my mind! :LOL: )

I think NC only allows direct to consumer for Tesla. I’m not certain though

what they made is impressive. I don't know if the Harvester will be that small.

This is just about the right amount of “self driving” for the level of software engineering and hardware instrumentation available to production vehicles today. That is to say, somewhat-hands-free but eyes-on driving on a well-mapped, access-controlled, separated highway.

That’s some very unique tech with a ton of flexibility. They may be on to something
