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.
This is what I picture. A reaper trim. Blacked out with red accents. Street tires, on air suspension so it can be lowered, no tire carrier or roof rack. Just sleek looking and screaming fast.
I would love to see a trim that has everything. I want to strap myself to a rocket and power my home.
The continued big question is the ranges posted for Scouts this far standard or extended. I’m guessing extended so there will unfortunately be an upgrade
Those big Rivians cost as much as my first house!
They're more than 20% more expensive than my first house. And federal minimum wage has only been increased once since we bought that first house...
I sure wish my first house cost that much :/.
Sadly, that is not the case.
It cost... more than that.
Although I'm glad to no longer be on an hourly rate.
So far I have not come all that close to buying a car that cost more than my first house - but in all fairness, the person I purchased it from 1 year earlier bought it for $75k - so the Scout might end up coming close (but I paid $100, sold it 3 years later for $130 - saw it on Zillow a few years ago at $850k, but is back down under $400k).
Also looked up my second house on Zillow - for rent newly remodeled. About all the changes they made in 20 years were in the bathrooms. They ruined the master bath - oh and put in a God awful butcher block top on the island, oh and painted the hardwood banisters white (who the hell wants something you touch multiple times a day white). Biggest changes were ones I made 20 years ago (to sell it). Terrible white tile is still in the kitchen as well. I almost killed my self scrubbing that damn grout back to white with bleach. It peaked in the mid 700's in Zillow - but given the rent, it is also down below $400k I bet.

It dawned on me that as I am expecting my Scout to land somewhere around $85 K that the first townhome my wife and I lived in was $79K. Wow, that is an eye opener.
My first place was a $199K condo. The thought of a car costing that much is not something I feel at all comfortable with. That’s getting into the kind of territory where I’d worry about being executed by the secret police in the communist revolution if I was like WHY YES I HAVE A $200,000 CAR: HERE I AM, CASUALLY DRIVING IT TO 7-ELEVEN FOR SCRATCHERS or something.
Scratchers!
That is so Boston.
Scratchers and Marlboro Reds (Lights if you’re health-conscious, or that’s how the West Roxbury-ish-area folks used to roll).Scratchers!
