  • 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.

    Real-World Range

    I feel those people aren’t honest with themselves and their driving habits. EVs will exponentially lose efficiency the faster they are driven and the harder they accelerate. Also, the conditions will change things as well. So, driving 80mph+ in 40degrees and a 20mph wind, I bet I couldn’t even...

    Real-World Range

    I believe the EPA test for EV’s is something like 55% highway 45% city speeds. I know my Tesla is EPA rated at 270miles and the best range I show is 268 when charged to 100%. Which is very accurate if not doing a 100% highway road trip. Real world range is about 230ish miles non stop at...

    Battery Life in Winter

    I have a tesla model y performance and here in Kansas City, I get about 70% of my normal range while driving in the hard winter. Now, I also camp in it occasionally and even in the middle of January, an overnight of keeping the car at 68degs will only use 10% for a 10hr period.

    Are factory deliveries for reservation holders being considered?

    Factory delivery would be amazing! I was able to see my MasterCraft ProStar going down the line last fall at the factory in Tennessee. Great experience that my wife and I will remember forever.
