  • 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.

    The thing that shocked me most about the new 3-Series? No diesel engines anywhere in the world! This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Hybrids and EVs are crushing diesel sales in Europe.

    When the TZ was announced, it was supposed to have 402 horsepower. Now it has 308 hp. However, the 402 hp is now available as a dealer-installed upgrade, and only on the top trim. Annoying.

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    Yes. Not the only river in the USA to catch fire back in the '70s, but certainly the most infamous.

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    Our main river caught on fire a few times, so a little creosote was the least of our problems!

    We still have a wooden street in Cleveland! Much quieter when horses were the mode of transportation. 19,000 blocks and originally treated with creosote. https://www.jalopnik.com/1956685/cleveland-paved-street-wooden-blocks/

    Northeast Florida could be a pretty interesting real-world test for the Traveler

    Chrysler built 50 identical turbine cars. They were loaned to average citizens for 3 months at a time. They were required to keep a log and provide feedback. 203 people drove them between 1963-66, logging over a million miles.

    Don't ask me. I can't figure out why Tesla hasn't been sued into oblivion after their "full self-driving" claims. We'll find out soon.

    There have been rumors of thrusters/rockets for the Roadster.

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    You live in the only US state (New Jersey) where people are not allowed to pump their own gas. A very unique situation.

    There were articles back in January about Hyundai Mobis building a plant in South Carolina to supply Scout. I haven't seen any updates since then.

    Biggest selling points are no suck-ass CVT or awful variable compression engine from the regular Rogue.
