I have a hard time imagining members who have signed up for and participate in this community not overwhelmingly voting yes for this.

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.
And derail threads while we wait for the next morsel lol
What’s that about railroads? One time, a long time ago ……..
What if the configurator had options that were obviously so cartoonishly unrealistic that it was clearly for fun and not meant to be taken too seriously, thus freeing Scout from any sort of legal obligation to actually give any expectation that they were really going to one day provide the things being built? Basically, you’d be making weirdo video game fantasy Scouts, but with some plausibility. That might actually be kind of fun. Like THE BODY IS A VINTAGE SCOUT II AND IT BETTER HAVE MANUAL LOCKERS BUT IT IS ALL ELECTRIC BUT ALSO HAS A 75 GALLON DIESEL TANK AND IT TOWS 100,000,000 POUNDS AND IT HAS A DANA AXLE AND IT’S YELLOW OR GO EFF YOURSELF and so on and so forth.
I'd give you some kind of award if I could. LOL.
Ha! I think that’s would be crazy and fun as long as YELLOW is an option. But the right YELLOW not the wrong YELLOW!
Scout should absolutely do this so they can get some data on what customers want and help eliminate some options to simplify production.
I’d use a configuration tool. Especially if it gave me an idea of what I’m looking for in a Scout.
Of course if it had prices associated with it, the better.

I was wondering what the hell yall were talking about until I saw Thill08s burner account posting about those freaking hubs.
Not yet. The information we have is from Jamie at SM. The visualizer is coming later this year and the configuration will be closer to production.
Haven’t even built the first factory production vehicles so not easy to see a visualizer without the final production vehicles
visualizer/comfigureation??? they will NOT even let you sit in the truck,way out over the skis on this one...maybe in 2029 you can sit in the truck and visualize what the options may be....
For anyone who doesn’t know, the only reason we can’t sit in them is because they are one of a kind multimillion dollar hand built, with lots of 3D printed parts and the body panels are carbon fiber. The numbers I have heard are somewhere between $3 to $5 million each. When I was in Chicago I spoke to one of the SM employees there and he said if anything breaks it’s not just pull a part off the shelf. The part has to be fabricated for a repair. They travel by a temperature controlled semi so they aren’t in the heat or cold which could cause damage.
When they have production models I’m sure we will be able to sit in them just like every other production model at an auto show. It will happen. Just not with these one of a kind very expensive concepts.
Not to put words in Jamie’s mouth, but I did ask if the “pre-production” trucks will be able to be test drove, and it was more less a yes. Which makes me very excited for the day the concepts get retired
