  • 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.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at things) They won't. It's a no-haggle place.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Overall it is what is, I knew I overpaid when I got the bolt, but I had an abismal credit score at the time and the car was a necessity...I can definitely live without the blazer, but I kinda want it. So at the least I'm going to check it out with a through inspection as it was a fleet vehicle...

    Off-topic stuff…

    As someone that doesn’t really like to swap vehicles until they’re just too far gone I’ve never had a reason to think about, when I got the bolt it was either I have it for a year or until it’s paid off, some things happened and now I’m patiently waiting (mostly) for scout. However as of today...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I’ve never been one to care about depreciation or values from the industry, until I started waiting for scout since my car is “temporary” it started this year work $19k and is now worth $15k (according to carfax) then on the other side of things we have a ford pickup with 300k miles on it and...

    My bolt is a baby with its mileage but it chews pavement everyday, I just hope it will still have a good trad value by the time BEV Terras start rolling

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to drive slower when towing especially something that big

    R2 Launch Watch

    Pretty sure I saw an R2 the other day, it was following and R1S but a car had gotten between them, so I didn’t even realize until after it passed and I was left befuddled for a minute because of how small it was compared against my car and the other Rivian I had just passed

    FB find of the day

    I think at least on the concept vehicles judging by the look of that specific image they just have a magnet to keep them closed and if you ever see them in a video where a representative is trying to open them, they seem to have to get under the panel with their hand to open it, but that’s just...

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    FB find of the day

    Depending on the actual end design for these ports, I would imagine that is where the little push pop device goes so you can push in on the panel and the device will pop it out

    Phone cooler

    Some of this can be phone-specific, even in the same model, they're not all created equal and can experience different issues. That said I have an iPhone I carry for work and insurance tracking, I used to leave it in the cool back seat all day, and it would be at 10% at the end of the day and...

    Phone cooler

    It 100% does. I always had issues with overheating in hard plastic cases or otterbox, now days I buy soft thinner cases and haven’t had any overheat issues unless it was my Z flip but that was very phone specific

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

    Through the Merch and my job, I've introduced about 1,000 people to the new scouts. Because I drive a bolt a surprising amount of people like to ask about it, then with casual conversation, and I have the opportunity to show them the scouts

    Real Bench Seat

    The concept shows the driver and passenger are independent from the center

    Please no erev!

    That’s fair, but in my personal opinion less than 200 miles is terrible for the EV part of the EREV, the hornet gets 30ish in All electric and that great for my partner that can get them to work and back twice without needing the engine. But factor in weather changes and driving habits that can...
