  • 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.

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    Sorry to hear your Bronco delivery experience went sour. Mine ended up being the opposite, but I also went with a smaller local dealership that wasn’t juggling hundreds of reservations. I briefly tried one of those online volume dealers (that one in Iowa...), but bailed after a couple of days...

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    By the way, I ended up switching my reservation on the Scout site from the range‑extender to the full EV. I’ve gone back and forth on this for the past year, but our Mach‑E GT, and even our earlier Volt experience, pushed me toward the EV. The Mach‑E has needed basically no maintenance in 60K...

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    Appreciate the perspective. You’re right — I haven’t been super active here since the early reveal. A big part of that is simply because I’ve been deeply involved in the Bronco and Mach‑E communities (and before that, the Volt crowd), so a lot of my energy has been tied up in following and...

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    I’m a lifelong North Carolinian living just minutes from Scout’s new Charlotte headquarters and about an hour from the Blythewood production plant. As an early reservation holder for the SUV, locked in within the first hour of the October 24 reveal, I’m incredibly excited about what Scout is...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Nice, we have something in common as I also own a Mach E (2023 GT Performance Edition) and will be glad to assist with any questions for folks new to the EV world or those that are still on the fence about getting one (like this nice Scout). A little about my background and why I have a Scout...

    What did you reserve?

    Ha me too, although I wouldn't have very far to drive since I live in Charlotte NC. Guess that's a no brainer since we don't have to worry about stealerships lol.

    What did you reserve?

    I got the impression it would be like my previous Gen 1 Volt, which is good and bad. Has all the advantages of a Gas car but also all the disadvantages. I selected the extender more for resale as I can see all these EV naysayers only being comfortable getting in one that offers a gas...

    What did you reserve?

    NM, just found it.... Now to decide. I guess you can change to a truck or SUV later and with or without the extender.
