Scout Concepts are coming home April 18-20, 2026

  • 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.
Even more than specs, I’m dying to see the launch colors. And exactly. I hope everyone gets what they want. If Scout doesn’t make PBY I have a choice to make, do I pick another color I like and that becomes what I want, do I wait to see if they someday have PBY. Or something else. We shall see what happens.
Just get black and give 'er a wrap if they don't give you your PBY. That's what I'd do.

I get the logistics of the supplies and suppliers and all the trial and error that will come from choosing the paint colors, but just think about how high a new level of excitement around SM that could come from them releasing the launch colors "early". That is of course as long as they're not just mostly black, white and shades of gray. 😅

I really wish auto paint was as easy to mix up as house paint - it's honestly surprising to me that you can't add pigments to a base & apply. Especially if you're doing a DTC model & your buyers are customizing a vehicle & prepared to wait.

Maybe you don't have thousands of gradations like a Sherwin-Williams store, but I know the old Scout color books are floating around a thread or two here, so even offering like 15 - 20 colors to choose from would be huge.

That would be amazing if they had that many colors. Honestly I would be happy with 10!
