  • 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.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    That was some cool reading! Thank you for that.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I don’t want to start a whole new thread, so I’m going to ask what may be a dumb question. Is the Harvester a “Hybrid?” It has a gas motor that charges the battery, but because the gas motors is not connected to the driveline, I wonder if it’s a hybrid?

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    The Harvester package. If Scout was all EV I would have passed.

    Special/First Edition Scouts

    If Scout releases a bunch of special “Launch Edition” models first ahead of those (most of us) who put down a reservation, I’d be pretty disappointed.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I’m ok if the Harvester’s come out a little later. It just gives me a little more time to put more pennies aside.

    How would you build your Scout?

    I’m on the fence with the rally stripes. But I think the roof rack kind of looks bad ass, and the 12 year old in me thinks that’s important!

    How would you build your Scout?

    Pretty much like this. I’d prefer 18” wheels over 20” wheels.

    Hood Tie-Downs

    The two door Bronco is awesome (I like the four door too). There’s a lot of times it would be a better daily or off road option than my gas hog! Maybe that’s why I like the idea of the Scout Traveler?

    How about a cheap version that i can actually take offroad

    The Gladiator is an awesome setup. I’m just too damn tall to fit in them. Bums me out because I’d like to have one.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I’ve been fairly vocal with my opinion on Scout. I have zero interest in a full EV because I’m not confident the charging infrastructure is where it needs to be in my area. The Harvester allows me to have the convenience of an EV for day to day use, but gives me the confidence of a gas motor...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I know I sound like I’m shitting on the whole EV thing, and I don’t mean to be. I’m just not ready to give up the gas backup for my use. The Harvester is really exciting for me.

    Scout Deal Breakers

    For me it’s very simple. The Harvester has to be a gas and go. If I can’t top off the tank and get back on the interstate and travel at 80mph, then I can’t trust the vehicle.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    You’re not wrong. However, doing a little interweb searching, the chargers were still not in a great place. We ate lunch at Papa T’s, and on this map it looks like a bit of a walk to lunch while the car is charging. Again, I’m not arguing for or against EV’s for other people. I just need it to...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    For me the detour on I-15 is an inconvenience because we weren’t headed that way, and it wasn’t a lunch stop. On your search it looks like we could have charged in Dillon. The point I was making for me, is that a vehicle has to meet my lifestyle needs. I’m not changing who I am or how I travel...
