  • 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?

    It spoils you. You really realize how good it is when you drive a vehicle that doesn't have it.

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

    I'd like to hear Estimated mileage EV only on the extended range Scout. Auto rags and YouTube channels are all over the map with guesses, and I have a feeling it'll be much more than they predict. Way, way more.

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    May mean the new technology on the horizon and a delay until it can be implemented.

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    I'm told we sell our power to the grid for about 38 cents per KW and buy it back at night for 12 Cents per KW. I never did the math and that could be sales-talk I never further checked into. Our Electric bill has a running credit of usually $500 to about $800. Our Tesla Powerwall inverter is...

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    Home Solar w/Powerwall like having an oil well, refinery and gas station at the house. In the 4th grade I did a solar science project and mentioned Someday cars will be solar powered. So It kinda happened:

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    Makes sense. A few years back Mazda was talking up a long range EV with gasoline back up. Of course a compact Wankel motor was mentioned in the same breath. Makes sense but some states are passing EV only sales laws to eventually take effect. I think the USA is up to 3 or 4 states now. Let me...

    Direct competitor: 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S

    Our lawyers getting $15K to $20K fee per settlement from Stelantis. She's getting rich. Good friend is a man of excellent character and an amazing mechanic. He quit our local dealership over the way they treat customers. Landed on his feet. Got picked up by NASCAR.

    Direct competitor: 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S

    I have a feeling Scout may be more of a competitor to the Land Rover. New Scout Kin to the previous Scout in name and some styling only. Jeeps are astronomicaly over priced with poor quality and sour dealer network out here. Former Rambler dealers that have held up their bad reputation. We...

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    I at first thought with both the Tesla 4680 battery and the Cyber truck are doing double duty. The 4680 battery was designed for something better later on than it's current formula, and the Cyber truck is on an eventual Van platform.

    VW is investing in Rivian

    Must be talk to attract investment capital. We had solar charging at my work. Some locations backed up by a basement half the size of a football field with lead acid batteries. Vast lead acid battery banks at over 50 locations around Calif and Nevada. Supports equipment with NIS aka...

    VW is investing in Rivian

    Plug n play is what we want in our next EVs batteries and we'll see it. 100% charging rate thru the entire session would be nice.. Fast and easy. I heard some Taycans had or may still have that feature. NACS, glad to see it, may still have the clunky J1772 cord. Daughter is 95 lbs and in 25F...

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    Drop Down Windshield AKA Safari Windshield would be sooo cool. Scout should copyright that name.

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Yes. I still want to find that land fill that is 2 miles wide and stretches over the horizon, full of EV batteries that the opponents claim is out there. Latest conversation was with a service writer friend from a local Audi Dealership. Convinced his job is at stake. I politely mentioned: We...

    Chevy Silverado

    Well said. When the Tesla Forums first appeared and in the auto enthusiasts forums questions were asked how to reduce or turn off the Tesla regen. Carsickness was the reason. Tesla means stepping thru menus on a tablet screen and with ZERO customer service has confused, new to all this people...
