  • 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.

    From the first day, we've pursued additional investors. Scott was just reiterating what we've been doing for a while.

    Yeah-I agree. The 80’s/90’s Japanese cars are all becoming really desirable again

    I am torn between pure EV with higher towing capacity vs the Harvester version. I like the idea of the extended range but the loss in...

    Haha, I love this picture, especially the dog on the far right who decides "Ok, I guess I'll pose for this picture, but I'm gonna lay down"

    2-door or a hidden 4-door style will be the toughest design SM needs to pull off because you can lean into both the 80/800’s and the...

    I questioned this as well, if so look's incredible. If SM decided to go a 2-door route, I questioned if the design would change, e.g...

    I'll third it. One of the things I've been impressed with the most so far is how close the team at SM is to the community and much...

    When I went and test drove an R1S last year that was part of the sales pitch. Lease one so you get an R2 sooner.
