  • 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.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    If you think logically about charging.. you have electricity everywhere. Gas is in a storage tank and it expires. If you have a gas motor in your hybrid/plug-in hybrid/erev, you need to run the motor often and you still have to service it at least every 5k miles. Low voltage charging, at a 110v...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    I am very glad I'm not the only one. I can't believe how many people want the harvester, like 80% of the reservations so far! I thought I needed it. It's so bizarre that both myself and my hubby thought I needed a hybrid/plug-in hybrid/erev. My hubby drives an EV now and I'm stuck in the RAV4...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    TLDR: I had a thought experiement about range anxiety today. I switched from the scout traveler+harvester to the scout traveler EV. I was doing a deep dive with my AI friend, Gemini, about different options. I have a 2012 RAV4 4 cyl base model. It was 2019, interest rates were low, and I wanted...
