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.
Or maybe it’s The TravelStar. The 3-row battle wagon on the Terra frame. Or… The Scoutsie!I’m from Missouri…
The frame is made of steel.
I like your idea and do think 1st quarter next year, you will all be a bit happier with some new information coming. We are working on a chassis display so we can do some deep dives into the platform.
Many technical details come down to final specifications and actual certifications. If we add a little more battery to one model, we don't want to keep coming back here with corrected or changed information that will only disappoint or frustrate people. We hear you all on the length of time, and trust me, we're going crazy on our end too. 2027 will be a big year with a LOT to talk about. We knew 2026 would be a longer wait and, arguably, a fairly quiet period. That said, we showed many different versions of the vehicles; we added another concept; we made a headquarters announcement; we expanded the supplier park; and on and on. Most importantly, we are stamping actual Scout sheet metal now and building validation/test bodies, some of which will become test vehicles.
So 2027 will have a lot going on, starting with a new website, a visualizer to play with, lots of testing and development work we can finally share with everyone, a deep dive into our chassis and driveline, and lots more.
As always, we appreciate everyone's patience.

Thanks Jamie - all of this is understood and appreciated...
When my wife gets on me about how much I talk about Scout I have to remind her it's like Christmas eve and Groundhog day blended! Just so much excitement it's hard to contain, but for her it's like I just keep saying the same stuff over and over again! (I guess I should feel sorry for her).
Never apologize for being passionate about something.Thanks Jamie - all of this is understood and appreciated...

Side note: In my head, I've changed the PBY acronym to a more accurate Peeled Banana Yellow after the whole color-of-butter controversy.
But what kind of steel? (Smart ass commentThe frame is made of steel.

As you and. Talked in Charlotte. They chose to marry us. That’s on themThanks Jamie - all of this is understood and appreciated...

To be fair, mine was only partially sarcastic since the FAQ I linked has it noted as galvanized. I don't recall ever seeing a galvanized frame on a factory truck/SUV.
I thought of a new one. Original scouts had the color Siam. If you reverse it, it is Mais +e is a corn/grain that is pale yellow. It’s a throwback to original color and it has a farm theme connection. And the E can be for EV. So I think we should call it Maise
Regular steel hopefully. Painted with a strong enamel.
Galvanized is great until a chip happens.
VETO! I quickly read that as Malaise, a decidedly bad era you want no vehicular association with.
Much like powdercoating. That's why I'm looking for some confirmation on the FAQ answer.
I have posted this name idea somewhere else on this forum.
So this is my thinking. Silo - farm related. Pacific Mist - ocean, nature. Morning dawn or dusk (I always forget the name of that color) - nature.
So for PBY - Churn - butter churn (farm) and the sea churns so nature so a combination of both.
Next time they should give us the color name and we can guess what it’s going to look like.
. I wouldn’t have thought that dark color would be on Mountainside with that name.Similar threads
