Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

  • 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 Scoutsâ„¢. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Couple of additional photos. Not uploading any interiors of the vehicles, @cyure got that covered in her thread 😂

Some great new images. Did you notice if the backpack has an internal drain? They keep mentioning wet clothes or even a cooler but haven’t seen any interior angles that show a drain so just wondering if there is a drain or does the liner lift out to remove things and wash it out?

I don’t think the prototype had one. Hopefully that along with some kind of lock are part of production model
 
Lock will be critical for sure
My first thought was to put a cooler insert in this when I built it. My thought exactly was a drain that came out the bottom. But then I started thinking about why a normal cooler with ice, which would require a drain. We have power on board. We could run power to the backpack and make a refrigerator insert.

Our accessories group latched on to this backpack. They love it.

Let's see where they take it....

@CP1@scoutmotors thanks for taking the time to respond, super appreciate the insight!
Know you think about this in detail much more than we do, but if there is power supply running to the backpack would be great to be able to control if it’s on/off along with being able to disconnect the power as I imagined depending on the trip switching between the tire and the backpack (and maybe any of the other exciting accessories Scout comes up with)
Additionally going to echo the lock. My use case would be going grocery shopping, put them in the backpack (and not having to open the entire trunk) and then running some other errands. Don’t want to have to worry about someone opening it up while I’m doing errands number 2 or 3.

Thanks for all you do!

For sure on the lock. Just not thought out for this concept. Production would have to have a lock.

You could put all your perishable items in the backpack(with the cooler option) and the rest in the back. Keep your eggs and milk cold as you finish your errands.

Power is already routed to the spare tire carrier to power the logo. I would think it wouldn't take much to have power for this option.

Stay tuned.

You know - running power to the backpack opens up a range of possibilities, far beyond a refrigerator insert.

Seriously.

Griddles/stoves, various lifts (kayak lift???), inflators, shop style light stands (can you imagine backing up to a field at dusk to play sportsball with your friends/kids team sport, telescoping a 3 light boom up into the air 10 ft, and turning on the stadium lights to finish practice/the last few plays?). Maybe even a heated seat insert (you could ref a volleyball game from up there :D).

Or maybe thats where the gear drier goes.
