  • 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.

    Car seats

    We are using the Britax car seat for my two children. I just thought about it this morning while dropping them off at the bus stop. With my daughter always getting cold very easily and my son being the polar opposite, I thought it would be good for them to enjoy a little luxury on their little...

    Car seats

    This is a long stretch, but how about convertible, booster, and carrier car seats made specifically for the scout with the added feature of being heated and cooled. I always thought it was a waste of a useful feature with a car seat sitting there.

    Leverage Existing VW Group Service Centers at Launch

    Man that's not a bad idea at all.

    Travelall 3 Row

    Here are my two cents from the hamster factory keep in mind some of the hamsters died in the process of this thought process: Give us a third-row seat for two. Instead of co-captains in the second row, give us that sleek bench where the center seat folds down into a center console, all while...

    October 2024 Production Center Update

    It's a shame 3d printing of structures of this size isn't further along. Maybe in the distant future scout will consider 3d printing since the process is way faster than conventional building.

    iOS/Android app? - Forum Suggestion

    Why not have your cake and eat it too. Do both.

    Battery Safety

    Fixed the font. I completely agree with your statement. However, whenever Scout does go that route somewhere in the far off future this might be a way to help cars not become death traps on wheels.

    iOS/Android app? - Forum Suggestion

    Sorry sometimes words are hard. In this case is was thinking of a sentry mode where you can log into the app at anytime and see who/what is messing with the vehicle in real time.

    Battery Safety

    I was just thinking: what if Scout comes with a battery pack that will drop to the ground during severe impact, kind of like when airbags are deployed during an accident? I only thought of this when I read an article about four people dying in a Tesla—not due to the accident, but because they...

    October 2024 Production Center Update

    I have the memory of a goldfish, but didn't they say there's a possibility we could go to VW, Audi, Porsche, or any other brick and mortar VW umbrella service center?

    iOS/Android app? - Forum Suggestion

    Will the app give us the ability to remote start/stop view vehicle details or errors, and monitor the exterior environment?

    Rear AC in the roof

    Relocating the vents to the B pillar is the best solution.

    Frunky Kitchen

    Would it be possible to engineer a removable two maybe three burner kitchen/grill into the Frunk. Call it the scout's frunky kitchen.

    Scout Trims

    I'm curious will there be a more capable version/trim of the Traveler and Terra just like Ford has the bronco with the bronco raptor, Toyota with the 4Runner and TRD Pro models, etc...? Will we see a Traveler/Terra Trailseeker?

    Current and future features

    Some of these features can be implemented later on as they become more mainstream. My title did say current and future features. The only one I really care to see right away is the co-captain seats with the 3rd row.
