  • 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.
Range Rover's Sweet New Electrostatic Stereo Speakers
I remember the first time I saw electrostatic speakers for a home theater setup and they're such a different technology that I was fascinated. You could see through them!!

Oof, big water main break in our area with 100k-200k people without water. All three of the area hospitals are without water and need that water for air conditioning as well, so that really sucks. Luckily, the weather is nicer than usual with 85* and low humidity. The break was found in an isolated area, 40' below ground, under a pond. Most businesses are closed.

Makes you realize the fragility of the infrastructure. If this coincided with a power outage as well, it'd get nasty in a hurry.

I hope they get it fixed quickly and get everyone back to being hydrated!

I noticed the problem yesterday morning when I got to work, so about 28 hours ago and it sounds like they're pumping and digging, but not yet at the break. I'd love to know how they figured out where the specific break was. Ground-penetrating radar?
