  • 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.
Man that's crazy! How often do you get that kind of weather?!
Well, that's coming straight from the weather station on MT Washington, which really is "home to the World's worst weather". So, yes, that happens quite a lot there.

It is one of the greatest places on planet earth, but one that also deserves a lot of respect - especially in winter

 
So as of about 12:30 we had 7-8” of very light fresh powder. Went out to do round one with snowblower. 25 minutes into it and quite and peaceful and know cars to see or here-THEN. A D-bag in there 2-color Cybertruck comes hauling up the hill sliding everywhere. Was hoping they’d curb out but no such luck. Later a Taco and a braptor which not an ounce of wiggle. Really hope the scout is more like those and way less like the CT.

At 1pm we had 16" my dog was eating snow the entire time. He barely was able to move. Im gonna be shoveling probably tonight. But i don't see this storm calming until tomorrow mid day.

My town is in a stay off the due to plows. So no cars are out on the road.

Has me thinking that with a new Terra if you are in the snow removal biz if you can load a blower into bed or small tow behind utility trailer you could tow 2-3 blowers and charge them as you go it could be viable? Depending on how many jobs you do. Probably to much strain for distance from driveway to driveway vs recharge time

We are supposed to be but always the handful of people out screwing around or believing they are above the law

I saw the opposite yesterday, though the Ram and a Gladiator both ate the curb because they were driving like fools. and we saw another cyber truck at a stoplight last night with the driver clearing snow from his headlamp shelf

We were supposed to get freezing rain, but it hasn't happened yet. But im sure its going to soon. But who knows its so cold it might just keep snowing at this point. And so far every forecast and meteorologist has been wrong.

I can’t wait to have my traveler, I’ll be the one with a plow on the front that clears their drive way in one swoop, and then leaves and checks out the town.
 
so far we have about an inch and a half of sleet. Very little freezing rain which is awesome. But there's a possibility of more precipitation of some sort from 5pm-9pm so we will see where it ends up. Hopefully not too much worse. Work has already declared campus closed tomorrow with emergency situational telework approved so I don't have to try and go anywhere.

That freezing rain is the worst. We got about 7 inches of snow. The Wrangler did great this morning. Getting my son to work early and some of the roads hadn’t been plowed yet.

I’m expecting the same type of confidence in my Scout in the snow.

Ant wait. My Accord is a temp vehicle and I like it but not built for snow. Scout will solve that

Finished shoveling the snow in the driveway. And had to shuffle the cars forward and back.

Heres my results the 76' ford with ko2 tires 2wd, Did almost good as the 19' Mini all4 with all season pirellis on it. The 3rd was the fwd 11' Mini and 4th was 18' Silverado 2wd with all terrain tires thing couldn't get grip at all. But managed to find grip in areas.

I would like to say that BFG tires are king!

Always fun buying a fresh gallon of gas for the snow blower in my R1T. Love the looks I get from the attendant in town. "1 gallon plz".
My grill cover is telling me about 18" so far, and it's supposed to keep falling tonight and into tomorrow in the Northeast, as the storm wraps and draws moisture off the ocean. ❄️

Snow by me wrapped up around 5-6pm. Being less than a 500ft from the water kills pretty much every storm by me. Its like i have friends that are 3 miles in land and get massive thunderstorms and I'm like no storm here.
