  • 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.

    At least Scout doesn't have in the baked in track record on these types of promises.

    My understanding is that the whole ube craze had made it really tough for a lot of the more traditional spots because their supply gets eaten up by larger brands and its not exactly a widely grown crop. But my MIL also stays purposefully oblivious to all that so this is all conjecture lol

    Good closeups in new Kim Java video

    I don't love influencer content in general, but I thought the video was fine? They took a "decent" look at a bunch of the things that a normal consumer would probably be interested in. I know forum/reddit people geek out over stuff, but that's really not where the general consumer is, so...

    Its really inexpensive... if we didn't have so many house projects lined up I'd be super tempted.

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

    An Audi salesman said this to me one time as a reason why they didn't include some features that were standard on economy-level US cars. I said, but those features end up being really nice, and your car is already more expensive? There's a fine line between "Feature Bloat" and "Expected...

    Signed the lease agreement today on the Volvo, only spent ~20 minutes with the dealer outside of the test drive. I love technology. While we were waiting I mentioned to my wife "you know, the Scout is about the same size as this" and she says "that might be a good thing!"

    She also said she's busy with client meetings all day (true) so prefers to work via email. Which obviously means sending a dozen texts, leaving multiple voicemails, etc. Obviously. :rolleyes:
