They talk about test mules like it’s something brand new but they did winter testing a while ago. So I’m not sure how new this is.

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.
These might have more close scout looking bodies on them. the old mules looked like scraps thrown over a frame.

To be fair, those of us of a certain age are stupider than we might have been as we spent our formative years breathing in lead - https://dupri.duke.edu/news-events/news/20th-century-lead-exposure-damaged-american-mental-health
I’m curious (not arguing, genuinely want to understand), I never felt like info about the environment and EVs was in any way telling me I’m stupid, just pointing out benefits of EVs and problems with burning fossil fuels. I can understand resistance to being told what to do, but ca you help me understand what happened that made people feel insulted? Maybe there’s stuff I didn’t see?
I hope it looks good, I just don’t want them to change too much but what they did bring up, does make sense, due to manufacturing panels like that is very tough, with dies.
And the other parts like the market. And release seem reasonable. Seeing the media cars by late 2026 and deliveries by 2027 make complete sense.
Yeah it looks like it’s mainly just the side marker lights that’s changing but they’ll make it different to closely resemble the concepts.
Exactly what a good car company should do. Don’t make a concept that looks great and then release something that’s completely different.
Anyone else plan on buying one of these for their Scout?

We also know that they are adding a rear wiper (Jamie mentioned that).
Interesting product. I have never thought about getting one, but I suppose it makes sense for some areas.Anyone else plan on buying one of these for their Scout?

Even if someone was creeping around your car, you could always call the cops if you felt like you were endangered. The reality? How many times have you felt endangered unplugging your car or truck? Probably the same number of times you have felt endangered getting out of your car at a gas station, a restaurant or at a mall parking lot. Seriously. Come on!
It’s really meant for the what if scenario. Like if you are charging in Trenton, Newark, Paterson, Camden. Where they don’t care, they just mug you.
But that’s what pocket knives are for, carry one in each area that’s reachable in my f150. I have at least 5 with arms reach.

I think there are legitimate fears some people have in various situations. I’m not going to question a particular person’s experiences nor the validity of their fears.
That said, these kinds of devices manufacture fear in exchange for your money and brain power. Save your money.

I guess FUD sells? But how does your EV eject button work when your done charging and you wheel your groceries back to the car? When you need to use a restroom? When you eat at a restaurant? I have charged all along the Jersey Turnpike on my way to the mid-Atlantic and have never had a remotely threatening experience (that is not to take away from anyone that has), but if getting in or out of your car is an issue for anything (not just charging) then maybe you shouldn't go there in the first place. Also, let's be honest, most charging stations are intentionally situated in high traffic areas, usually with amenities nearby. Most are well lit and almost all could be considered seemingly safer destinations than a standalone gas station. Sure, be vigilant and use common sense. But this device looks like it was manufactured by the oil and gas lobby.

I was just giving examples. Ive filled up in some sketchy places for work. Standing outside pumping my own gas, because my truck doesn't have a filler neck that will hold the nozzle. Ive had people in masks behind me. All they did was peek in my truck saw the knife on the seat and walked away. And the TurnPike is a pretty safe place for traveling usually. Thats why i never said the turnpike.
Thing is, at a gas station, you’re not sitting in your car for half an hour or more, and in all those situations you could just turn your car and drive (even at the gas station, don’t ask me how I know). There’s a different vulnerability when you’re charging. You can’t drive your car away while you’re plugged in, and bad guys know that you’re stuck there. While most gas stations have someone working there, most charging stations are unmanned. It may not be a big concern for you or me, but for some it is a legitimate concern. I know at least one single woman who opted for a gas car even though she preferred an ev, largely because of security concerns while charging (she had no charge at home option).
