  • 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.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Wireless phone chargers that can fit phones. I've seen wireless chargers in many cars that the phones can't fit in due to length being too short. Rear camera definitely. Front camera would improve safety. Side cameras for 360 viewing for when hauling things that block view for lane changes...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I like the dark green, dark blue and tossed a coin between the copper and orange. Though if I had to park in a large parking lot, the orange would come in very handy.

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    A definite no for hands free. I've been in several cars with. None of them are more reliable than a bad driver. Even driver assist is bad. Too many people get too reliant on and stop paying attention and just assume. If the system malfunctions, or doesn't understand the conditions correctly...

    Power plug covers

    The image of the charging port area has a cover that flips up, but this still leaves the power outlets exposed to the elements. Water, sand, salt spray, etc... could get in. Suggest flush outlet covers, similar to home outlet safety covers, for all of the outlets for the exterior. Interior...

    Make sure headlights meet or beat IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus testing standards.

    Just no blue headlights. They burn out faster, cost a lot more and destroy other's night vision making it harder to see while driving.

    Harvester - Request to allow it to charge battery while parked & a 30-40amp/240v outlet

    A downside to CO detector shutting down the car is if you are running on gas and in a traffic jam with lots of cars. It could keep shutting the vehicle down.

    Option for a Rugged/Waterproof Interior Trim

    A durable and cleanable interior isn't just for adventuring. Farming, gardening, and working outside in most cases gets you dirt and transfers to the truck when you wish to go somewhere.
