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.
That would put the icing on the cake for the Scout ethos. GREAT idea.
Yeah it's still free, we did it last fall. Post-COVID, they don't include the night at the hotel but have negotiated rates with a couple of nice local hotels. They pick you up from the hotel and then have the full day experience with a meal at the PDC, time in the cars, time in the plant, etc. Lots of fun.
Good info. Thank you.
Scout Motors. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride.
Remember the built in search on the forums is a great place to start getting answers to your many questions.
I didn’t pay destination charges on my Model Y. It was delivered to my driveway…
There are 25 Tesla showrooms in Florida. I imagine California has waaaaaaaay more. That helps on the delivery. I hope Scout puts a showroom or, what ever they are going to call them within a reasonable driving distance from our location.
I suspect State laws vary, and change. In Texas, we did not allow direct sales. So even the Tesla's made in Texas had to be shipped out of state before they could be technically sold and delivered. Have purchased vehicles (and boats) from out of State. It is a bit more complicated - but ultimately it was essentially the same TT&L. Just sometimes a bit more hoops. But honestly, I also expect those hoops have hoops of their own. Dealer purchases out of state are probably easier than person to person or manufacturer to person.
I have never had/needed to do an out of state purchase. Sounds like I have a learning experience headed my way. Florida is not friendly to DTC sales at the moment.
They are ever growing here in CA, but funny enough, mine never went to a showroom. It came straight from Fremont, CA. The rep met the car in my driveway when the carrier dropped it off. Pretty wild
It’s really not that complicated. Just a couple extra steps
I have never bought out of state but moved to a new state and had to register our vehicles. I’m assuming it’s similar.
No. You deal with the out of state purchase and paperwork. When you get back to your home state you handle registration and fees as well as your state’s sales tax. Someone else may recall but the dealer may even process the registration for you to your own state but I’m blanking a bit-it was 15 years ago. But I remember it being pretty painless. Sorry I don’t fully recall
Good to know. Thank You. Now as long as I remember this conversation in a year and a half I'll be good.
When we move to Illinois and we registered them as long as the vehicles were over a certain number of years old there was no tax to pay.Good to know. Thank You. Now as long as I remember this conversation in a year and a half I'll be good.
Yes, New Hampshire allows direct-to-consumer (DTC) auto sales, meaning manufacturers can sell vehicles directly to consumers without using franchised dealerships. However, specific regulations may apply, so it's important to check the latest state laws.
Direct-to-Consumer Auto Sales in New Hampshire
Current Status
In New Hampshire, direct-to-consumer (DTC) auto sales are permitted for certain manufacturers. This includes companies like Tesla, which can sell directly to consumers without going through franchised dealerships.
Key Points
DTC Sales Allowed: New Hampshire allows direct sales for manufacturers without franchise agreements.
Tesla's Position: Tesla is one of the primary companies benefiting from this law, as it does not operate through traditional dealerships.
Regulatory Environment: The state has laws that support DTC sales, reflecting a trend towards allowing more manufacturers to sell directly to consumers, especially in the electric vehicle market.
Comparison with Other States
State: DTC Sales Status
New Hampshire: Allowed for certain manufacturers
Colorado: Allowed for EV-only manufacturers
Maryland: Allowed for EV-only manufacturers
Utah: Allowed for EV-only manufacturers
Ohio: Prohibited, except for Tesla
New Hampshire's approach aligns with a growing movement in various states to adapt laws for modern auto sales, particularly for electric vehicle manufacturers.
It is unclear if an EREV will be considered an EV in these states.
