  • 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.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    Couldn’t have said it better myself. I am one that is in the same position.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    Again, without the subtext, you’re led to believe that the Harvester adds 150mi . . .

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    Well that’s Eff’d up. Now I know why people are asking about a bigger gas tank. That’s a huge subtraction of battery…

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    Sorry, but this is what’s posted in the specs. Am I confused right now, yes So which is it? Q: What manufacturer estimated range will Scout vehicles offer? A: Scout Motors estimates the Traveler™ SUV and Terra™ pickup will have up to 350 miles (563 km) of all-electric range or more than 500...

    Welcome to the community. The EREV is going to get 350mi of EV range and the Harvester will charge the batteries for an additional 150mi. Not the other way around.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    I thought the comment was click-bait. 15gal is more than enough.

    Standard Bed Utility

    Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Does anyone know the length of the bed in the Traveller with the back seats down. I wasn’t specific.

    What was your first car?

    Yeah, not drinking, going the speed limit, wide awake. I had maybe 4-5 seconds to try to get around him. He blew a 1.8 4 hours after the accident.

    What was your first car?

    1987 Toyota Forerunner. That baby saved my life. I was coming home from a gig. The highway was dark. There was a sports car parked in the travel lane with its lights off. I hit him at 65mph. We were lucky we both weren’t killed. From then on I got SUV’s up until the Tesla. Another reason to get...

    Standard Bed Utility

    Does anyone know the length of the bed when the back seats are down? Curious if I can lay down in it.

    What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

    My wife (in the pics) believes it’s unsanitary. Won’t even discuss it. . . .
