  • 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.

    As with our (not on fire) Tesla, I’ll point to the 175,000 gas and diesel fires on USA roads every year, and the < 250 Tesla fires EVER...

    Not sure why you are here since both models are electric (even with the range extender options). I think you would be better off on the...

    Fair enough. Appreciate this clarification. My parents had a 1975 Scout II and it was a member of our family. I grew up in the city...

    I can only suggest that you take a look at the Harvester option. It certainly makes sense for some use cases. You basically get the...

    No sense trolling then. Will be no ICE. It’s been beat to death for nearly 2 years.

    Great feedback and response. The expected range is 300-350 miles from my understanding. Here are some popular trails in the U.S. Source...

    It’s a good thing you have a gas powered Scout so you can continually repair the engine and all the rusted body panels. If SM started...

    I suppose you could always turn your old gas Scout back into a horse?
