  • 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.

    TFL dumping on Scout in there latest video

    No one knows about the actual dates, prices, etc. Probably not even Scout at this point. One thing that is true though is if there are significant delays, price increases, or feature reduction, then it could spell trouble for Scout.

    Scout Concepts in Seattle, Washington, May 9, 2026

    Can't wait to see the vehicles there. @Jamie@ScoutMotors I RSVP'd but got no response or confirmation. Is that normal?

    Scout Concepts in Blythewood, South Carolina, April 20, 2026

    For a sec there, I thought Scout was announcing more models.

    Audio System Brand Poll 2.0

    If its anything close to what Volvo has with the Bowers and Wilkens, then I'm 100% sold. Those are some of the best audio systems in any vehicle I have ever been in.

    Re-think Headlight Design

    What would be really cool is if it was user-selectable - meaning we could switch between amber or white for the DRLs.

    How much more would you pay for a Launch Edition Scout

    Yup, its not just an upcharge. And knowing Rivian, its probably going to include special badging in the interior that indicates its a launch edition

    New Scout Video: Forging the Future - The Sound Of Scout

    Where are you going to use these old and natural sounds? It makes sense in the lock/unlock noise - like Rivian does with the bird chirp. Assuming the sounds will be "inspired" by those elements rather than direct recordings? Very curious.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    Its definitely possible because of my location (PNW). Going from Seattle to Minneapolis or Chicago is pretty rough. However, many of my road trips are also up and down the west coast. There's pretty good charging infrastructure there, maybe not as dense as the east coast, and its still painful...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    If you're charging once during a road trip, then its not a long road trip and you don't really know what its like. Its a lot more complex then just stopping once to charge. Try a 4000+ km trip and get back to me. I also didn't say anything about all the other advantages of a BEV, I agree with...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    Once you've owned an EV and tried to do a long road trip, you'll quickly realize the limitations of a BEV. On paper, the EREV addresses a lot of those issues: long charge times, multiple charge stops (300 miles per full battery is not 300 miles between charges), you have to stop on the batteries...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Makes perfect sense why they are prioritizing the EREV trim. 87% of all their reservations are for the EREV. Why focus on the BEV to launch? Makes little sense to me to do that.

    Scout Traveler: Running Boards

    They've already shown the prototypes with integrated running boards so they are thinking about it. Hopefully it makes it to market at launch.
