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.
Five of those have been built by a family friend of mine. Because Rivian made them public jobs that could be bidded on.
I think it depends. The Supra there were so few made they just didnt do orders.

100%... Talk about not skating to the puck. Let everyone that wants to buy gas & diesel jump on that thing. They can have it. No problem!
It depends on the company I guess. No problem custom ordering my Jeep, was going to custom order my Ford, but they got it down to one option I did not want - but could have in 4 days. With VW, I punted and just took the closest I could find in my 1/2 of Texas - a couple options I was interested in simply were not shipped to my side of the US. Perhaps I could have ordered, did not try.
That said, on very limited releases-you are lucky if you can buy one at all at a substantial markup over MSRP. Took 2 years to find a Jeep diesel even to test drive - then 3-4 months till an order window opened. I think that window was open 2 weeks before closing and it was never opened again. Jeep claimed lack of demand - I saw corporate sabotage. The V8's were probably worse - as those were official limited production runs.

I think it really depends on the dealership/person you get as well. I've experienced both the "We'll put in an order to get you exactly what you want (but it might take some time)" vs "aaah, let me see what kind of things we have in stock in the area"
I think you're more likely to get the former with a "luxury" brand but again ymmv

No doubt when it’s a limited production model. I got lucky on my TLX type S but my wife and I had been loyal to that dealership for years so I was right place right time and still paid full MSRP but 2 days later they called to verify I still wanted because they had 2 or 3 buyers wanting it and knew for them they could sell over MSRP and limited availability meant slim chance for those buyers
Okay I keep seeing this. Is this real? The are saying it’s for the Chinese market.
Okay so it’s the Auto show in Beijing.

To my knowledge some version of it is real. It’s been listed on several magazine/rag pages but not sure if that is production or just concept. Has a bit of Nissan meets vintage discovery feel

Maybe the miniature spare tire hanging off the back? This one gets another big "thank you, but no thank you" from me...
Still have not seen anything that comes close to touching Scout or Rivian, and its a PHEV apparently too.

Maybe... It also feels... plastic.
@Jamie@ScoutMotors why was the Scout Revival Commercial removed from youtube? Did Creedence Clearwater Revival go after for copyrights?
Also sorry if this was already discussed.
