  • 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.

    They’ve previously said that 80% of repairs would not require them to do it. I don’t remember the exact wording, but my takeaway was...

    This kind of marketing speech is annoying. Even if they had 1400 roofs on day 1, they won't have as many customer-facing Scout...

    Thanks for the post I had not watched the fireside chat. Looks they are paying attention and hopefully coming up with a better solution.

    I need to whisper this so our vehicles can't hear it. We haven't needed service other than oil changes and tire rotations in 9 years.

    Training independent service centers to provide service is a great idea. However, as it stands this is Scout's current stance "Scout...

    If they build them right, hopefully the only service needed would be tire rotations and changes, which there should be numerous other...

    I've said it before. The smartest way for Scout Motors to provide service would be to train and fund independent service centers to...

    The Scout plan sounds very similar to Rivian, and I am not sure that mobile service is as great as it sounds. I live about 200 miles...

    Let's hope Scout has learned something from Rivians service growing pains and supplies a smoother operating service operation.

    Scout has said they will be utilizing a mobile service model along with the static service centers.

    I'm on travel. When I get some time I'll plot their stations to highlight where they are relative to other stations.
