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.
I assumed it was a proof of concept and some type of support vehicle.
Would actually make sense for rally’s and long distance races if a team is running a pure BEV.
Lol.
Totally missed this (watched like half the video, then looked up some ground clearance specs).
Removing the third row... is dumb. That is in fact the whole point of a minivan for MOST people. Some people use them as tiny cargo vans, but that number is pretty small.
And as mentioned, usually removing the third row isn't that big of a deal. Seems bizzare not to include them. It really does remove them from the trim, as it prevents the "family who wants to go places" from considering them.
I have to break my silence for this time and this time only, @Jamie@ScoutMotors is this by any means true?
I will now go back to percentages!

I thought this was a proof of concept vehicle. Basically an electric Jerry Can.
I realize that Scout is probably not going to develop its own ADAS, as that’s a huge time and resources investment and there are companies out there that provide the service much more cheaply than they could likely do in-house. I do hope they go with one that uses LiDAR.
It is true though. That coating prevents rock chips, which is how rust typically starts.
If my $600 robot vacuum can have LiDAR, I don’t see why a $60k truck can’t too.
Always seemed like someone spending a lot of money just to prove proof of concept. Often wonder if companies like this develop them grab a bunch of patents and copyrights and hope to recoup in the future when someone goes larger scale?Aptera is probably going to end its operations. I’m not surprised at this development. Getting people to move to EV is difficult enough, asking them to take on a very different vehicle while doing so was always a long slog. Hopefully they invented some new technology that someone will consider purchasing.
Solar car maker Aptera is about to go public and I'm worried
Aptera, the company behind a highly efficient electric vehicle capable of charging from the sun, is about to go public,...electrek.co
They can showcase their engineering and technology, and write it off.
And I can’t imagine the seat weight had much if any impact in the big scheme of things
100%True that VW does that on some cars? Yes.
And you can use your words.

Tough to write off all that money but guessing a lot of that money is angel investors who are willing to gamble and lose as well as write offs by the company.
I remember seeing a Toyota get hacked via the headlight harness at a white hat hacking completion a few years ago, but seeing this is actually happening is insane.
It just takes splicing into the CanBus system.
Wow.
Definitely recommend giving it a watch.
Edit: Shoutout to @SpaceEVDriver for posting this previously. Sorry for missing that one.
