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.
UPDATE: It appears I am late to the game...again.

I guess maybe Uncle Scotty will be moving to Charlotte. Maybe I can swing by his house and we can talk Scouts!
I read another interesting article today that notes EV sales will slide because older adults with capital aren’t nearly interested as are poor 20’s/30’s drivers. I think I mentally understood that-hence the ratio of reservations on Scouts but maybe SM should think about a smaller 80/800 shorter range EV with an EREV for the off roader demographic to get younger buyers in then hope to sell up as they age to Traveler/terra then future travelall. Get them in the family and never let them leave.
My company’s second office is Charlotte and I keep thinking of transferring there eventually as my job(s) can be done from PA or NC. Then I could join you and the cool uncle for lunch and scout talk. We could become corporate Scout ambassadorsI guess maybe Uncle Scotty will be moving to Charlotte. Maybe I can swing by his house and we can talk Scouts!
Reminds me of the days when I got weather info from “downstate Illinois’ only full time radio meteorologist Ed Keyser”
Now don't get me wrong, sometimes he's off slightly. But when its a snow storm, or any storm for that matter matter he normally nails the 15minute tracking.
Hey thats my Uncle! LolI guess maybe Uncle Scotty will be moving to Charlotte. Maybe I can swing by his house and we can talk Scouts!
I know! I think you have started something. He'll be everybody's uncle on this forum. He just has no idea how big his family is going to get as the new Scouts roll out!
Uncle Scotty! 
Uncle Scotty! Uncle Scotty! Uncle Scotty!
Has anyone every tagged him? I know he's on here, but unlike the other CEOs he's hard at work.

The company I retired from after 38 years is headquartered in Charlotte. It is less than 3 hours from home and the Blythewood plant is also less than 3 hours from home. That's what is exciting for me. Yet, I haven't seen the concepts in person. I hope to see them soon.
Come on down! I like the idea of being a corporate Scout ambassador.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors How can I get Scott to drive my scout out of the factory, and be there at pickup from the factory?
I car wait till we get posts like this for our Scouts!

Rivian and Volkswagen will start testing their first EVs next year.
The joint venture, which operates under the official name Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, is prepping its first prototypes for winter testing in the first quarter of 2026, InsideEVs reports. These include VW, Audi, and Scout test mules equipped with zonal architectures, with consolidated ECUs and less wiring. The first crop of passenger vehicles will also be Audi, Scout, and VW branded models, including the VW’s ultra-low cost ID.EVERY1. Audi and Scout will feature three zonal ECUs, like the second-generation R1T and R1S vehicles, while the VW ID.EVERY1 will come with just one zonal ECU.
As the Silicon Valley resident here, between Rivian's office in Palo Alto, VW's office in Belmont, Audi's office in San Jose, and Scout's "office" in Fremont that is likely TBD, I have no doubt I have no doubt I'll be seeing these prototypes next year and will make sure to report back.
