  • 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.

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

    The push to keep AM radio is more political than most people realize. It’s not needed to get emergency alerts out as EMAs can push notifications through calls (land and cell), SMS messaging, social media, emails and FM/AM radio. The reason there’s a push to keep AM radio is the number of...

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

    If real, it's made for the AU market. Collisions with large animals is a common occurrence over there. This is likely intend for those that live in some of the bush regions or have to traverse the continent frequently.

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Based on the information I read, this space is likely a design/tech hub and not a service center.

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Here's a link to a write-up on the building in question from 2025. Scout is not mentioned in it and the door has no branding in a provided photo. So this is a recent development for the company. https://entrepreneurquarterly.com/cambridge-innovation-center-cic/

    HorseC15 Generator

    Battery used

    They're pivoting to battery energy storage solutions (BESS) for tie in to the national grid. A lot of power companies are placing modular BESS' at their substations. The BESS acts as a buffer to relieve strain/demand on the grid during peak demand times. Good information but this was from a...

    Battery used

    Until contracts are confirmed it’s still speculative. And with relations between the US and Canada becoming increasingly frosty, there may yet be another pivot. You bring up another good point with the different battery chemistries as well. Scout may have separate supplies for the cells and the...

    Battery used

    To my knowledge, no, this has not been confirmed. If it turns out to be true that’s fine but I have yet to see any official confirmation that Hyundai is involved and that the cells will be coming from PowerCo. There’s been a lot of speculation on the PowerCo involvement since the VAG has a...

    Battery used

    I believe it’s all speculative at this point, it’s not been confirmed. Hyundai is building a battery assembly plant nearby but that may just be a happy coincidence.

    Battery used

    While I understand you may be frustrated. Coming on a forum as a new member and then demanding such technologies be used because you feel they're the next big thing is not productive. This forum has a search function, searching for "battery" would have provided you with a load of information...

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    If you back in and place the charger, such as an alpi 400, to your left, you should be able to open the rear. But… this may not always be practical if those spaces are in use. There are other brands of chargers and charging pedestals ( such as the way Tesla does theirs) that it may not always be...

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    Hope they change Cleveland to Pittsburgh… seeing as they may have a location in OH with Cincinnati.
