  • 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.

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

    Keep in mind there are a ton of EV’s in the Nordics - but also a high % of the population with private garages. It’s genuinely not a problem for them. 350 miles is plenty - Scout is nailing it on both fronts. Again, would have loved the Fusilier but the Bozo’s in Brussels made it impossible...

    Very respectable- both of them - also opens up markets where people are in apartments, condos etc. We all remember a couple winters ago during that brutal cold snap - Teslas abandoned in the streets of Chicago because nobody could get to the charging stations, they were parked outside...

    We’re in Wisconsin so Knauz is my dealer. I reserved the range extender version - is that called the “Harvester?” I think you are making the right choice - and we all know FIB’s don’t really need the offroad chops, since you all come to Wisconsin and Michigan to play ;o). Scout is probably...

    The Global Grenadier forum is talking a lot about the Scout - a lot of enthusiasm esp from US owners. That’s what actually got me interested in the Scout - I was completely ignoring it. We are clearly a community that has a fair amount of nostalgia and laments capability that has been REMOVED...

    Just as a general principle, I would say “don’t get distracted.” Make the basic platform as solid and high quality as possible, and let the aftermarket take care of accessories- that’s what’s going to happen, anyhow. To do this, you need an open design approach. I have a Grenadier - as long...
