  • 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.

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    I would hope an argument made is that these laws were made to protect small, local, Mom and Pop or Family Dealerships from the large corporate OEMs. Now, many, many dealerships are part of a Multi-State Corporation with a headquarters else where and worth multimillions of dollars with...

    Scout Adventure Center

    I think "Scout Adventure Centers" Should be everywhere! In other words, at least in Ohio, Scout is unlikely to be able to have 'ShowRooms" or "Test Drives" because Rivian is restricted from having ANY Showrooms and therefore does not allow ANY Test drives in the entire State of Ohio, last I...

    Become A Scout Wayfinder

    I can neither agree or disagree with you. I can not divulge whether I've been selected, not selected or selected and then rejected because I'm too old. I could tell you but then.........

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

    I think only Sodium Battery breakthroughs or Solid State Battery Breakthroughs, we might get all we'd like in Towing Capacity and Range but these breakthroughs are several years away from being marketable. UC San Diego's Tin based (with carbon nanotubes) Anode looks really promising. Announced...

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

    Agree with all you've said. I think Scout with EREV will have a problem if Towing Capacity is limited to 5,000 lbs as Scott K said with Jay Leno. Just for driving and eliminating range anxiety it will be great, in either Terra or Traveler format. If you've traveled with a BEV (and I have from...

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

    Late to this Thread. Has anyone (or everyone) answered - TOWING CAPACITY AT LEAST 10,000 LBS and I'll switch one of my reservations to BEV (probably the Truck).

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    I was actually measuring my garage opening because I was worried about 33 or 35 inch tires and the Rack, which I'd like to have, not fitting height wise into the garage. I have 82 inches of height because of a rubber like gasket/moulding sealing the garage door when its closed. Otherwise, I...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Are Those 33 inche tires? Not the 35 inch tires? That height will fit in my garage with 5 inches to spare. Hopefully I don't have to 'air down' the tires just to fit in my garage!

    Doh, yeah I haven’t driven through since 2018 but I-20. How I headed to Lexington where a good childhood friend lives and on to Greer where my cousin lives.

    October 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    I lived there for 4 years before retiring from Fort Jackson, SC nearby. I owned a home in Blythewood about 2 miles from this plant across the east side of I-77. SC does get "winter" and Dec/Jan/Feb temps can go to 20 degrees occasionally but its still usually sunny. Snow is rare and closes...

    Likes of 3 Months of EV driving

    I leased a 2025 Ioniq 5 in mid August. Here are my 'likes' 1. 1 Pedal Driving. Hyundai calls it 'i-Pedal Max'. I really like it for surface roads. Level 3 for highway. My Wife likes level 2 for surface and level 1 for highway. 2. Roomy interior and light interior. I find it comfortable...

    Waiting for Scout, I leased an Ioniq 5. Here are things I'd like to Improve and as they relate to Scout Terra or Traveler

    Agree. Every body shape and posture is different and it’s easy to make it adjustable.
