  • 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.

    Scout's comin' to Cambridge...Wicked pissah!

    Ha! That depends on how early I can get my kids up and ready to go. They are the opposite of early risers. That, and a 2.5 hour drive in from the west, then finding parking probably guarantees we won't be there before midday. I'll check in with you when we're on the way to see if it's going to...

    Scout's comin' to Cambridge...Wicked pissah!

    I'll be there on Saturday. Sounds like it's going to be cold that day with highs around 50°F. Anyone else going on Saturday?

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Yeah, they actually are hoping that people will take some of it because it's less for them to have to deal with hauling away. They did a similar line clearing cut a few years ago in my town. Same thing back then. They left it on the side of the road for a couple of months then came and picked...

    Off-topic stuff…

    Sorry to hear about that. I'm glad you're ok and didn't get hurt. I know this dealer is probably too far north for you but if you look at their inventory of used EVs you can get a sense of what models might be available and what a reasonable price is for a good used EV...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    The utility company has been cutting a lot of trees in my area this year to reduce the chances of lines getting taken down in storms, so there is a ton of free firewood for the taking if you have a way to cut it up and get it home. They leave the logs on the side of the road for a while in case...

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    Yes I have. Great little place.

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    In the last few weeks, we took a couple of day trips to the beach, one to CT that was 180 miles round trip, and one to RI that was 226 miles round trip. I wasn't sure if I should bother posting these since they were just shorter day trips, but figured it might be helpful for those who haven't...

    Scout Concepts in Charlotte, North Carolina September 26, 2026

    If my kids schools weren't in session, this would be a perfect opportunity for another camping trip with the Lightning. With the Boston event coming up in October, we'll just wait for that one. I hope everyone who goes to this one has fun.

    SEMA 24

    Did you miss the date on that post that said not this year? It was from 2024, 2 years ago. Not sure if they plan to attend this year, but they have an event in NC later this month. Too far away for you?

    Wheel Style Poll

    Got room for one more member in the wheel #4 with pizza cutters club? We can be the Fab 4.

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    My family likes riding in the F150 for the most part. With 3 kids in the back seat ranging in age from 10 to 18, they occasionally get on each other's nerves but that's to be expected. I will definitely make the trip if the Boston event materializes and my schedule allows it. Would be really...

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    We took a mini vacation to Gillette Stadium and the South Shore of MA this weekend in the Lightning with the camper. No pictures to share this time, unfortunately. My two older daughters really wanted to go to a concert at Gillette Stadium (K-Pop group BTS) which was on Thursday night. I was...

    (Planned) Route 66 Centennial Road Trip (Ended up being Great Lakes/Niagara Falls Trip)

    Day 17 - 259 miles All good things must come to an end, and this was our final leg home for this trip. We left the campground in Watkins Glen with 100% SOC thanks to the L2 charger. We only made 1 charging stop at a gas station in Richmondville, NY. We arrived with 17% SOC and charged to 90%...

    (Planned) Route 66 Centennial Road Trip (Ended up being Great Lakes/Niagara Falls Trip)

    Thank you for the kind words. Your posts about your road trips and general EV experience gave me the confidence to do this trip, in large part. A few days into the trip, the charging stops just became mundane and they fit in really well with when we needed to stop for bathroom, lunch, etc...

    (Planned) Route 66 Centennial Road Trip (Ended up being Great Lakes/Niagara Falls Trip)

    Day 16 - 177 miles We were planning on heading home but we still had an extra day to play with, so we decided to check out the Finger Lakes on the way home. We headed to Watkins Glen State Park on the southern end of Seneca Lake with 1 charge stop at the Premium Outlets in Waterloo, NY...
