  • 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.

    2022 Mustang Mach-E recently hit 250,000 miles. Zero problems.

    Definitely makes the EV only option more attractive if they can get the efficiency right.

    solid state battery option

    Unlikely to be available at this price point. Will start in high end Mercs, BMWs, and Porsches first.

    PLEASE DO NOT DO AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH STARLINK - NO MUSK

    I’m not in the business of enriching afrikaners like musk. If I was I would by a swasticar

    🚨 **Is the New Scout Shaking Up the Off-Road World?** 🚨

    The cyberdump doesn’t deserve breath in the same sentence as Scout

    How would you build your Scout?

    YOU HAD ME AT BENCH SEATS

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    I reserved the harvester but would switch to full EV depending on the efficiency and range.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    I don’t disagree with you but there are probably packaging constraints given all the kit for both the EV and the generator. I guess that’s why they have the gas container on the back, I assume it’s at least 5-10gallons

    PLEASE DO NOT DO AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH STARLINK - NO MUSK

    I will reiterate, under no circumstances should Scout tarnish its brand via any association with Elon Musk’s companies including StarLink! At minimum allow for a range of service providers for satellite connectivity.

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    They are going to have to. BMW has Gen 6 motors and batteries out at the end of this year. Scout is using VW tech and the Audi wagon gets pretty poor range. it would be one thing if you were coming to market this year, I doubt it will look attractive in 2027. As to 10 year cycles, the Chinese...

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    Also battery size. 120-130kw for BEV. Half that for EREV. That implies 2.75miles/kw efficiency.

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    That’s close to what we keep our cars for so it’s not an assumption nor a rationalization, it’s math.

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    We bought the i4, it’s in the stable for the long haul. Replaced a 13 year old maxima that we traded in during the pandemic. 3 cars are owned, one lease.

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    This amongst many reasons is why I would never be caught dead in a Tesla

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    Burying something mission critical menu is unsafe. In our i4 you can switch regen modes w the gear shifter and in the eqs there are paddles. Plenty of sports SUVs have paddles. Not sure why it should bother anyone, if you don’t want to use it, set it and forget but many of us hate one pedal...

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    That’s assuming that car will last you 15 years without replacing the battery from repeated cycling. Have you checked your cell phone battery health after two years of daily charging?
