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.
The correct response would be; what ice cream would YOU put in the middle?Well that looks like a heart attack waiting to happen
LMAO
. As a realist, vanilla though I really want to say chocolate fudge brownie! Is there a correct answer or so long as it’s full dairy and not that Greek yogurt crap any answer is OK?
To your point-if anyone ever visits Lancaster County PA, we have a local dairy (2) locations called Fox Meadows. To be fair-it’s not my first choice but most people consider it too 2. They have a seasonally flavored treat called a baked fox. Can be a brownie, a thick chocolate chip concoction or even shortly pie. They wrap wax paper on it and stick it in a panini press to warm and goo-ify , then split it and drop a giant scoop of flavor of your choice ice cream then lid it with other said goo-ified half. I can’t even eat half but good God I have tried on several occasions. It seems up there with that bread loaf of cookie dough.
I'll definitely have to reach out on my next trip to Maine. As they're getting older, the wife and kid aren't okay with 18 hours straight in the car/truck. The past few times we've stopped anywhere between Gettysburg and Wilkes-Barre for the night since that's generally the halfway point, give or take a hundred miles.
The Wrangler is at the dealer. Been there since yesterday. It still does that where it doesn’t always want to start and I get the red lightning bolt. They said they don’t think it’s the fuel pump. Now they are saying it’s the “relays”. How many and exactly what I have no idea, but it’s covered under my lifetime warranty so my cost is only my $100 deductible. They said they will have the parts Monday so it will be back next week and hopefully fixed. Come on Rain, you have to hold out until 2028.
She can make it - sooner or later these techs are gonna figure it out!
That’s how I feel about mine, haha. Come on truck, only 2ish more years of hard service.
What happened to the TIPM? Did they determine it isn’t the TIPM, or…???
Have they provided you with a readout from their diagnostics computer?
They have stated the code reader says “communication error”. Whatever that means.
Also it’s taken so long to figure out which relay it has because the relay has been updated a few times and they needed to make sure they ordered the right part.
And this is gonna sound terrible but since I have that warranty replace whatever the heck they want as long as it only costs me the $100.
This happened when it was idling all whacky and they started with the thermostat and the it still did it so they replaced the oxygen sensor and I just paid my $100 deductible.
All of this to say I can’t wait for my BEV. Will my BEV have a TIPM? I sure hope not. Im done with this bs.
Sigh. I’m sorry this is happening.
The BEV will have a pile of computers. On the Scout, there will be fewer physical relays, less wiring, and other improvements that reduce physical complexity. However, it will cost more to replace a failed ECU because that ECU will manage a lot more of the system than vehicle ECUs do today. Overall, the time to diagnose and solve a problem *could* be significantly lower…if everything is engineered well, including the diagnostic and maintenance manuals and software.
My bolt is a baby with its mileage but it chews pavement everyday, I just hope it will still have a good trad value by the time BEV Terras start rolling
I know you have warranty but the constant issues would be driving me nuts
Starting to think you should put the continued $100’s toward a used EV for next 1-1/2 to 2 years and become an EV expert before your Scout arrives. What you’d save in gas alone and trips for repairs might make it worth it and use as a learning opportunity
It’s starting to get that way for me. If I didn’t have that warranty she would have been gone years ago.
Oh my husband keeps saying get something new but I’m stubborn and I don’t want any timing issues delaying me getting my Scout.
You could run the numbers. I bet with the cost of gas, you could come out better than even.
Sell the Jeep, buy a used Mustang Mach-E or similar. Play for a couple of years, getting to know the EV ecosystem. Trade in the interim vehicle when buying the Scout.
My value is about $12k on the truck according to KBB. Which made it really hard when I got a quote for $7k to replace the transmission. 4th gear is slipping, but I’ve managed to baby it between shifting from 3rd to 5th and it has been working. Not sure I want to dump $7k into a truck that’s only worth shy of double that. And it has somewhere around 160k miles on it.
