  • 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.

    It turns out when your major supplier literally goes up in flames it makes things hard

    Okay I kinda like the Quad, seems to be designed exclusively for moving around packed cities. I think I want one for flying from my house to the neighborhood bar Looking at the Bike some more and I have a sneaking suspicion that these are going to sell well

    Honestly I like all of the exterior changes they made for this mid-cycle refresh. Why you would buy one over a Chevy/GMC/Cadillac is beyond me (and I have a Stockholm syndrome like relationship with Jeep.....god I miss my Commander).

    I think that the new low tier Model Y is going to sell like hotcakes for Uber and Rental Companies....but the real key I think is that it introduces a "price ladder" similar to Apple where people can now say "Look how much I get for X more"

    Honestly I thought it was going to be worse, I am just happy that they kept tactile buttons for some controls. Interested to see how durable and usable the wireless charging is.

    It will be interesting to see how much market share they can grab not only in Mexico (they are roughly 19-20% which is huge considering they were at ~1% in 2017), but also in Canada.

    Yeah AL fires can be brutal. I believe earlier this year we were also dealing with a fire at a supplier for powder alloys and that caused an enormous speed bump (still is tbh)

    What will you typical cargo look like in your Scout?

    Honestly my typical cargo will be two comically large gym bags and a hopper of tennis balls. At least once a month (depending on the season) snowboard/skis or bikes.

    there are so many different versions of this meme and every single time I see it at work I laugh out loud (This is very applicable to me).

    Also patents are not difficult to file or get when you have a dedicated legal team and engineers with a history of it. Additionally the amount of patents that are incredibly similar to one another but might be slightly different in a key way is enormous. And unless you are working for a...
