  • 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.

    Tax credit removal

    Lol, one trick I learned is just tell the dealer I don't need any of your overpriced "accessories". You can remove them, I only buy the vehicle, at MSRP the most. In the end they give them to you for free, or just no deal. No biggies. Those craps are just what they used to mark up the price on you

    Tax credit removal

    Mark ups on non-limit production items are results of pure stupidity. They can mark up because idiots kept buying them at that price. When nobody buys them, price will drop. It's why most vehicles you see nowadays on dealer's lots got discount from them.

    Tax credit removal

    I know, right? It's not a matter of being poor all together, but cannot be poorer than others who got the tax credit after us. 🤣

    Tax credit removal

    I factored in the tax credit for my initial consideration. But if the 7500 is gone, that's a big decision factor for me

    Tax credit removal

    From October, the current EV tax credit will be gone. How will that affect your decision on whether to get EV like Scout?

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    Same. Full EV would be too heavy and efficiency would be horrible like Hummer EV.

    The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

    The RAM had been delayed again with little to no information being released. If the Scout Harvester becomes unpromising like the Tesla Cyber Truck, we'd probably see the same ditch in sales.

    A good discussion about gas motor/generator size vs. highway driving efficiency

    This article has some discussion about relationship between engine output and highway driving efficiency, which has also been discussed on and on in the FB group and on scout forum. Something worth reading. https://www.topspeed.com/ram-1500-ramchargers-specs-impressive-yet-raises-eyebrows/

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    Gasoline has much more energy density for the same volume compared to battery. A less efficient system are less prone to get affected by the same variable such as towing, temperature, etc. this is why you observe much less efficient drop in these situations on an ICE vehicle vs. BEV. Also, the...
