FB find of the day

  • 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.

Hunting Trade-Offs with Bounties​


Affordability is not a marketing tagline for us. To truly make vehicles built on this platform affordable, starting with a mid-size electric truck, we needed to hunt down the cost opportunities.


We started by creating a team within the skunkworks operation, tasked with developing range, efficiency, and performance metrics for priorities such as weight, drag and rolling resistance, and ultimately battery size. That team armed every engineer with a new way of evaluating tradeoffs — we call them bounties.

We’ll see. After Ford's rudderless flapping in the breeze over the past five years regarding BEVs, I’m skeptical of everything they claim.
Agreed - my wife is in corporate real estate and Ford used to be her company’s client, she saw them make lots of “odd” decisions selling properties and then buying the train station…
 
Man - that’s exciting!
Interesting now that I got to read it. I will say I wish SM would post a few articles from the technical side of things. I really liked that article. It gave away nothing but helped me understand the engineering mindset. Things like this open up new ways of seeing things and getting the curious side liners involved in bigger conversations
