  • 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.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    It’s a delay. 2 weeks ago they were refuting it in the media and now Scout is trying to softly shape the message. See it for what it is.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    I would be totally satisfied with phone mirroring- didn’t realize Rivian supported OnX- that’s awesome to know. I’m really struggling to Not go buy a Rivian and to hold off for the Scout.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    Is there an OEM UX other than CP/AA that supports OnX? It is so awesome off-road and in the woods and I don’t think I’m living in the past to say I want the same capability I have today.

    Accelleration

    So you were expecting Rivian quad motor performance, EREV range, and half the cost of a Rivian?

    What would you be willing to pay for a paint color?

    In the automotive world, they are trying to roll a car off the production line every 30 minutes or so. This is a fun idea but REALLY hard to implement.

    Week renting a Rivian R1S Quad motor

    I was in Tampa & rented a Rivian R1S Quad motor AWD. If you are not familiar, this is the SUV and rated at 1025 horsepower. The sticker on a new one is roughly $120K. Obviously it was fast, but I found the Rivian itself a bit quirky for me. Rivian developed their own software and I guess I...

    Big battery deal in the works. Hopefully they get this locked down before the mid-terms. Political headwinds could complicate this quickly. Hyundai Scout deal

    My E-TRON died

    Bought new in fall of ‘22. It’s got about 42,000 miles with no issues. I was going to replace it with a Rivian last year, which is how I found the Scout. The Audi is still under full warranty. So we’ll see how they handle it but car was bought in FL and now I keep it up in PA.

    My E-TRON died

    Friday my Audi E-TRON would not unlock from the the charging cord. There is an “emergency” release, which also failed. Maybe the most interesting part is the car did not recognize it was plugged in so could be driven around with the cord hanging out. The Audi dealer appears clueless but wants...
