  • 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!

    Not that easy to shut that down using the federal EPA, the EPA, from an emergency response standpoint, is not likely to entertain this as it's not a hazardous substance, oil, or pollutant. This is best handled through your municipality/burrow's building inspectors and your states environmental...

    Dual Port Charging

    The principle is great for fleet users and the off chance you need to help a stranded motorist. Think of it like lending someone five gallons of gas. Now using the system as away to publicly charge vehicles, no I’m not fond of that use case.

    Charging a Scout with a Scout

    You’re train of thought is similar to a thread I made in the suggestion section. https://scoutmotors.community.forum/threads/dual-port-charging.1522/

    AC Vent Locations

    That's a good point to make, not sure how feasible overhead vents would be on the cabana and glass style roof options... Perhaps it's an option for the steel roofs only? Certainly if the roof is not a good option for vents, then installing them in the B and C pillars would be the next best hope...

    AC Vent Locations

    It’s possible they won’t, however if they decide to include it, they can add in bank plates for those that don’t wish to have it added. I’d prefer it as an option that can be added for an additional cost. Do the engineering now and then recoup costs with it available as an option.

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    Honestly, no... but I understand the appeal. One of the CES videos actually brought some information to light. The adaptive system will be camera based only according to the UX folks. With this in mind it will never be capable of full self driving and be limited to level 2 only, the driver will...

    Retractable shade for Terra

    This issue has been covered in other threads. There will be 3 roof options, metal (no opening), cabana style retractable fabric, and a glass option (likely fixed pane with a shade).

    3 Years

    You did, Nicole Johnson of the UX team mentioned that they planned to begin deliveries late 27 early 28 so I'm thinking Q4 2027 at the earliest but anticipate possibly delays to push deliveries to Q1 2028

    What Was The Biggest Automotive Story Of 2024?

    EPA didn't allow California to do anything... States have to meet at minimum any federal laws but they can have more stringent state laws or regulations that go above and beyond the federal level. In this case California is choosing to set their state requirements beyond what the federal laws...

    Dual Port Charging

    Came across an article in regards to a GM design that would allow for charging another EV while plugged in. Essentially the vehicle would have two charge ports. One charging the main vehicle and the. Another acting as a vehicle to load port. It’s an interesting idea and perhaps expand on it a...

    Future Proof Remote Connectivity

    While there’s been much talk about the satellite connectivity previewed this week. There should be some though put to the cellular modems installed in modern vehicles… this subject has been touched on briefly in the thread discussing WiFi upgrade ability but that has more to to with in cabin...

    Wheel Options

    Diameter has been the big talking point so far and understandably so. I'd love for a 17" option, but packaging wise that doesn't sound feasible. Haven't seen any mention of potential wheel company tie ups yet... I'd like to see Scout collaborate with Method Race Wheels and at least have a set...

    Frunk Fridge

    I can fit a whole six pack in my expedition console! I just don’t have a way to chill them… ford doesn’t offer a chilling center console.
