  • 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.

    Where should the 240V outlet be?

    I did not know there was a 240V V2L adapter available, though that cost does surprise me. Adding the 240V plug to the Ford Lightening is a $1,200 add-on, so double that seems excessive. Hopefully future competition brings the cost down.

    Where should the 240V outlet be?

    There was just a thread in the suggestion box about a 240V outlet on the Traveler. That got me thinking about outlet placement, since it seems likely that the Terra will have an (optional?) 240V outlet available. I see three options for a 240V outlet: On the inside of the truck bed (like...

    Initial Production Release

    You have a bunch of posts in that thread, but it is Halloween so I'll let it slide this time. :p

    Initial Production Release

    Sorry @cyure, that was just me being sarcastic. There are actually a couple of threads for factory pick up already. This is the earliest/longest one I know about: https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/are-factory-deliveries-for-reservation-holders-being-considered.946/

    Initial Production Release

    Now, where is that thread about early adopters wanting a factory pickup option? :LOL:

    Please allow for the use tire chains

    Snow tires have the option to be studded, but that is not the defining characteristic. Studded tires are not allowed in some US states and in other US states they are only allowed during the winter months (for example, in Massachusetts studded tires are only allowed from November to April). The...

    Please allow for the use tire chains

    I am not sure what you are actually asking for here. I know that some manufacturers suggest not using chains, but when I dig into the details that is due to potential damage to the wheels. I don't know of any manufacturer that doesn't allow tire chains. Is there a vehicle like the Scout that you...

    Industry-leading DCFC charge rate and battery warranty

    As far as the charging rate is concerned - Scott will almost certainly have the higher charge rates. Scout has already said that both the BEV and the EREV will use 800V battery architecture. The battery voltage architecture is the determining factor right now for getting the best charge rates...

    240V Outlet on Traveller

    I have been thinking about this for a little while, and it occurs to me that it might be better for Scout to not put 240V outlets on the outside* of either vehicle. Instead, I think they should offer multiple V2L (Vehicle to Load) adapters for the NACS plug. This has several advantages: They...

    Seems like Scouts community hub got hacked!

    I get online an hour later than usual and I missed all the fun! :p I guess that is what I get for not having email notifications turned on.

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

    Welcome to the Scout forums! That is a lot of features, glad to see you are so enthusiastic. To help you out a bit, the feature you called "Reverse charging" is referred to as Vehicle To Load (abbreviated V2L) in the EV space. Lots of EVs offer this in one form or another and you can use "V2L"...

    Scout Motors App

    No need for an app - you can use a web browser. Your reservation info is available by logging into the main web site and merchandise is available from the Scout Supply store (https://supply.scoutmotors.com/). The final accessories are not available to anyone yet.

    Accessories: not merch or accessories that are integrated into the car, but think seat covers, etc. What do we want?

    Have you looked at the Scout Supply Store (https://supply.scoutmotors.com/)? Some of the items you mention are already available to purchase. The Scout throw blanket isn't listed (yet! :D), so I made my own (using the patches they sell in the store).

    actual ranges before orders?

    I own a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. When regen is set to 0, the friction breaks engage for the first few times but then the car reverts to using regen breaking. This is actually mentioned in the service manual as a regular maintenance activity to keep the friction breaks from freezing up due to lack...

    What do we think is going to happen on the 24th of October?

    Oh, I like this. Mind if I steal copy it?
