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.

Direct-to-consumer sales are at the center of Scout’s U.S. marketing strategy but have drawn strong opposition and, in some cases, legal action from dealers nationwide.

Scout licensed to sell in California, secures various permits in other states, records show​

(Article is from Automotive News)

Scout Motors’ drive to sell directly to U.S. consumers is slowly getting more traction despite legal challenges from dealers in several states.
In an early, high-profile victory, Scout in December was awarded a dealer license in Colorado, and it appears it was not the upstart brand’s first, public documents show.
The Volkswagen Group-backed brand has been licensed to sell vehicles in California, the country’s biggest new-car market, since 2023...

That includes plug-in hybrids. Combining those with BEV's into an "electrified" category can be misleading, especially since many plug-in hybrid owners never plug them in and run them purely on gas.

According to my research in this, roughly 9% of PHEV owner don't charge their battery.

I guess it really depends on the driver. Like the Volvos in my area everyone has chargers.

Oh I think it would look amazing in yellow. As long as it’s the right yellow. PBY! I take every opportunity to advocate for my color!

Just glancing at that Dodge - it does not look like it's made to do truck stuff (but what should I expect from a Chicago show). But sure, most trucks are probably sold to people who don't do truck stuff (or at least the truck stuff I grew up with). Low profile tires, mediocre ground clearance at best. I would tear it to pieces just driving across my ranch (not talking "offroading", just getting from point A to B on a daily basis)

Most/All new trucks start out looking like that. Give it some time it will look like a proper work truck. 🤣
