What do you all do? Curious about Scout buyers occupations, or former occupations.

  • 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.
@MasterSpam @SpaceEVDriver You guys might appreciate this Practical Engineering video. Someone working at a nuclear waste repository took hand written notes at a meeting and wrote "an organic" instead of "inorganic". Bad stuff happened.

As I now work as a docent at the National Museum Of Nuclear History And Science in Albuquerque, and we have a great display of info on WIPP.
That is a cool video!
Fantastic museum.
Stop by with your new Scout and say Hi when you're in New Mexico!

Grew up all around the US and Europe. Currently a Compliance Officer in the financial sector, so basically making sure regulations are being followed, auditing processes, and helping to mitigate and investigate financial crime.
So, to start this off...
I made precsion optics for 52+ years. Started as the 3rd full time employee of a mom and pop shop that grew to 80+ folks and worked my way up to principal engineer for manufacturing, process develpoment and testing of some very fun stuff. Mirrors on the Voyagers, the mirrors for COSTAR that fixed the Hubble, lots of the references that semiconductor manuctuers use to make PC chips and a ton of weapons fire control optics.

Wow these careers everyone has had. I wonder if there’s some sort of targeted marketing Scout can do to people in these very specialized tech fields. I am not anything close to that.

Have been a transcriptionist for over 30 years. That started going away slowly and now faster so I just have projects here and there.

I had to transition to something else so I worked for a specialty infusion pharmacy for a bit and now I work for a nonprofit that supports people who have the same genetic disease I do. It’s my favorite job I have ever had as I love helping people.
