  • 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.

    Now that America has become great, where will Scout Motors rank on this chart?

    We don't have any new movies on them though... Not even a netflix documentary... So i have to agree here... Definitely lost their hold.

    Now that America has become great, where will Scout Motors rank on this chart?

    We have 2 years my friend so till we see the actual cars, there will be many "what if" questions here. I deferred my decision to buy a car now because of SM and I too will continue to hold the reservation. But if there is clarity that scout motors will be out of reach for canadians, I will have...

    Now that America has become great, where will Scout Motors rank on this chart?

    I have seen this ranking making rounds on the social media. It will be great if someone from Scout Motors can comment on what their target is. Will it be 100% American made with 100% American parts?

    Will harvester models be "maintenance free" like their EV siblings?

    I searched more online to see if there is data for EREVs in China but couldn't find reliable results. However it appears "worst of both worlds" might not be the case. Maintenance is expected to be lower than ICE cars but how much lower is what I want to know. So lets hope by 2027 we will have...

    Will harvester models be "maintenance free" like their EV siblings?

    We know EVs only need minimal maintenance under regular usage (windshield fluid and brakepads). Now if the engine is only charging the batteries here, what extra maintenance are we looking at in harvester models? I am essentially asking if we get a harvester, will we be giving service centers...

    Tarrifs on Canada. Would you still buy?

    Tarrifs on Canada. Would you still buy?

    If a tarrif is applied on Canadian steel imports and then you expect to sell an American car made with American steel for the same price in Canada? This won't happen because Canada will impose tarrifs on American cars. If this is what people want to not care about Canadian market, that's a...

    Tarrifs on Canada. Would you still buy?

    EV incentives are going away in a few months here in Canada. Tesla has also raised prices around $4000 - $9000. And even though we go through the cycle of self inflicted pain on US auto industry and then removal of tariffs, I don't see tariffs on/from China going away which will raise production...

    Tarrifs on Canada. Would you still buy?

    As a general consensus, we do not discuss politics on this forum, but we do discuss policy. And if tarrifs on steel, aluminium and other raw materials continue, Canada will impose reciprocal tarrifs. This might force Scout Motors to pass on the higher cost to Canadian customers and in general...

    Scout Motors announces in-vehicle satellite connectivity and highlights Scout Community UX interface at CES 2025

    The In-vehicle Satellite Connectivity and the ability to use it as a hotspot is a home run !! Even though Tesla has Starlink but that's sold as a separate product. Marketing Scout vehicles as complete off road companion is a winning strategy! This is going to be great ! Waiting patiently now...

    Canada Reservation Holder’s

    Thank you for mentioning luxury tax. I almost forgot about this. For any future readers, if the top variant is marked $ 120K cad, then we will end up paying $ 4K in additional luxury tax So I guess I am getting the base variant then :(

    Reservations from Canada

    We are not going to see any federal tax incentive on these vehicles so hopefully some charging credits but it will all depend on the demand. People say 2 years will fly by but I think we will see a lot more range extender options by other manufacturers. Exciting times no matter what.
