Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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 don't know why, but I really like this design. Too bad it has zero practicality for me and it's a Jeep, so it would be in the shop all the the time and drive terribly. Sorry to all the Jeep owners, but I had a-door wrangler back in the late teens and it was the worst vehicle I ever owned, both in terms of reliability and function.
I get it. I’ve been lucky with mine that relative to others I haven’t had too many issues. She just hit 116,000 miles over the weekend. I would not buy a new Stellantis product,
But that Scrambler sure is cute.

It’s always been the case. They got complacent because they used to be the only game in town. Now there is Bronco, Defender (problematic too) and various others and Jeep/Stellantis doesn’t seem to think they need to improve quality.
 
Has there been any discussion by your state about where they're going to put these? I've always wondered why not place them in rest areas along the interstate. Seems to have plenty of space and they are spaced regularly...

In any event, I love it. Way to go PA!
Haven’t dug into it too deeply. In our case I’m hoping more in the middle of the state off some of the older east to west routes. Eastern side has grown and can certainly use more but the central areas need them to help get EV adoption started

The screen capture indicates southeast PA so expect Philly and the surrounding suburbs and smaller cities.

Yeah-saw that and will help there as well but to gain traction they also need to hit rural areas but everything is baby steps. Hoping to do 98% of charging at home so not a huge deal but adoption only happens if you remove hurdles and excuses so rural areas should be addressed in addition to main corridors in and around Philly
