  • 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.

    Long-Term Paint Protection: PPF, Coatings, and Launch Availability

    If you are handy, you can apply PPF yourself. There are several online shops that sell clear wrap material for DIY installation. You don't need pre-cut templates, you cut the wrap to shape as part of the install. The shops also sell the wrap in colors and patterns, so you can add stripes or a...

    Another Ioniq 5 owner here. I hope you enjoy your Ioniq 5 as much as I enjoy mine.

    New Scout Video: Forging the Future - The Sound Of Scout

    Why restrict them to vehicle color? Make them all available as options for the driver to pick.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I want the door locks on the Scout to sound like the classic, multi-layered steel laminated padlock used in the 1967 Master Lock commercial. Youtube link to the commercial for you younglings that don't know your classic TV trivia. :LOL:

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    In a recent interview (The Drive, March 6th) Scott Keogh said that "we’ve got some solutions on that front" when asked about the tow rating being cut in half for the EREV. So, it seems like the 5K limitation of the EREV is no longer true.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    It is easy to be negative and worry about VAG cancelling Scout Mototrs. I try to stay positive about Scout's future by remembering the following: Scout has secured over 160,000 reservations as of March 2026. They are $100 deposits. They are refundable, but that still means a lot of people have...

    Actually @THil08, in a recent interview (The Drive, March 6th) Scott Keogh said that "we’ve got some solutions on that front" when asked about the tow rating being cut in half for the EREV. So, it sounds like that is no longer an issue.

    Thanks for the update, @Jamie@ScoutMotors . I am planning on getting the tow package on my BEV Terra and will pay a reasonable price for that option. But $1,500 would be a bit steep. 😁

    Happy Friday to you too @cyure ! It is 33 degrees here today and we had an ice storm last night, so my driveway and the local roads are very dangerous (I am so glad I can work from home). And at this point, I don't even know what temperature would be considered normal.

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    Hopefully, the posters will be available in the Scout store at some point, and we can buy extras.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    This tells me that you and a lot of other people have/had unrealistic expectations about what an EREV can do. I don't want to be snarky here, but I have to point out that you are, by your own admission, disappointed that the reality did not match your imagination. Your description of what you...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I am planning a long road trip next week. I will be driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 (HI5) BEV. It is a 3-day trip one way and will require 12 charging stops (including overnight charging), using ABRP to plan the trip. I am driving rather than flying because I am stopping to pick up family along the...
