  • 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.

    Road to R&R

    Both vehicles are being designed to get you there but what's the plan when you reach your destination? Partner with Scout Campers, Oru Designs or similar camper / tent manufacturer.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    Colors are great but I would like to see the first year tie in better with the original with the simple lined graphics going down the side and up the hood with the white roof. Every car on the road looks the same with the same type of colors... Scout is bringing back an iconic vehicle, it should...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    I use mine daily but the IR sensor location is absolute key, even when just in cruise. Ford's Mach E sensor location absolutely sucks. I can't use cruise and throw my left hand up on the to center of the wheel without blocking the sensor and the car screaming me. I swear at least once per drive...

    Charge port at front, passenger side

    If designing a kick @$$ vehicle why feel the need to stick with the norm? Color outside the lines and be the first to offer multiple charging locations... IMO, front driver's side is the absolute worst because of Tesla's short cables. I mean personally I love seeing Tesla drivers ticked off when...
