  • 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.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    Don’t forget the original reveal Tahitian Red too. So 3.25 versions basically. Definitely am curious to see what they do.

    I'm honestly surprised they're already doing a new take on the Traveler. Makes sense comparing it's popularity compared to the Terra, but daaang that's fast.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Honestly, all the Neue Klasse BMWs are pretty hot in my opinion, and if I just needed a sedan I would 100% shoot for an i3.

    Lol, I laughed at that more than I should have.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    I'm hoping that the integration of the phone system into the truck is seamless enough that I could still do phone calls/texts, navigation, and music WITHOUT it having to be CarPlay. The videos of their UI look so nice I wouldn't want to cover it with CarPlay honestly.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I never noticed until this article that the top part of the “grill” is more or less an air dam. Kind of a cool detail.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Yea, it was the same fob just with different material attached, but you’re correct. Has there been word that the tire carrier specifically will NOT be powered? If it was, then I guess theoretically that fob button could still work. It could also explain part of the reason why the tire carrier...

    Off-topic stuff…

    A State of Charge video about the new Powerup stations. Good things like dual CCS/NACS ports, swipe/tap to pay, pull-through, and canopy stations. Missing some things at the first site, but that’s a lot of good for their first site.

    Off-topic stuff…

    I forgot there was a conceptual key fob… and gotta say after googling to take a look again, that’s a really nicely designed one.

    Do both of those vehicles still have a key fob you can remote start from?

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

    A group of women designers designed exactly that for Volvo back in 2004. The Volvo YCC had headrests designed specifically with pony-tails and the like in mind. The other thing they did on that concept car was have a hood that was locked and only a mechanic could open it. So you know, some good...

    Paywall features

    Considering almost everyone hooks their phone up to the car, I'm sure it is if they allow that. That's just disgusting to get ads in your car...

    Paywall features

    I’m in agreement here with basically everyone else. Things like Cell connectivity are one thing, but don’t dare make things like opening the cabana roof or seat heaters a paid subscription. That would absolutely keep me from purchasing.
