  • 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.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    The Slate will be a great vehicle for those High Schoolers that need a car for work or afterschool activities. You buy them the Blank Slate and then anything extra they want they pay for. Honestly if my kids were old enough i would seriously consider it.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I have a pre-order of refundable $50 but putting a $250 non refundable on a vehicle that I can't test drive is a no go for me. Once I test drive it and then I'll commit the addition $250

    R2 Launch Watch

    The 253-mile result at a steady 70 mph is a useful data point. EPA’s highway cycle only averages 48.3 mph, so continuous 70 is a tougher real-world test than the sticker suggests. Usable range (that ~200 miles at 25% SoC) is what most people will actually plan around anyway. Hoping Scout’s...

    R2 Launch Watch

    At 25% SoC, Jose hit about 200 miles. I think at 10% SoC it was 230 miles. If you Pay for 330 Miles of range, you would hope to get somewhere close to that.

    Modular add-ons

    I would love if Scout just had two Trims BEV and EREV and then offer Packages to them. Both Trims will offer rear lockers, An Off Road Package will give you Front and a swaybar disconnect with 35s. Open Air package gives you the cabana and maybe a power rear window? I hope that the Bench/Console...

    No clue. Lol. We will find out Thursday when it goes live. Honestly I don't think they will at least right away.

    Schnauzers of Scout Motors

    I'm trying to convince my wife to get a Giant Schnauzer. She's not a fan of the Beards. Yet when I say I'm going to shave mine she says no.
