New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

  • 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.

I changed the color to make the entire body match the roof. Much better in my opinion.

With the unfortunate placement of the charge port in the rear, it would mean not being able to get into the back cargo area of the vehicle when it’s charging. That’s a huge negative to us.

Maybe I'm not tracking here, but why wouldn't you be able to access the rear cargo area while the vehicle is charging?

How would the soccer mom in the school pick-up line tout that she had the most premiumest model though? :ROFLMAO:
Seriously though, there are some serious keeping up with the Joneses vibes in my suburban area and I know the school pick-up line thing is real. I personally agree with you 100%, but also recognize there are plenty of people that buy the badge purely for bragging rights, moreso as a vehicle gets more expensive.
They’ll need to learn to accept it as is. No more coddling 🤣. My community is the same. All the XC90 moms
 
2000-2001 were the best XJ years in my opinion, good choice!

Hopefully the Scout interiors end up close to what we've been seeing. Let the vehicles speak for themselves!

I'm definitely on the side of just letting us pick our options/packages with no names, stamps or badges.
Well played ⭐

Speaking second hand here, so I may be off-base.

The main criticism against using natural leather in products is that the chemicals used to process the material and the by-products of the leather makers was a significant source of pollution. Prior to the US EPA's Clean Water Act (1972), leather tanneries and manufacturing plants would dump untreated toxic byproducts into the ground and waterways. While the law stopped that, it took a long time and a lot of government money for the cleanup and environmentalists have a long memory.
I assumed it was the PITA folks. But after consuming a delicious smash burger what does one do with the cow hide?
