  • 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.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    As much as I love my Iphone....God can Apple Maps SUCK sometimes. I recently switched back to a "Google-based" system (Waze was bought in 2013 by Google). And it is so much better at turn-by-turn work. However for offline maps I still use OnX and Google Maps

    All I can remember about my parents and using a paper map is all of the times I was late to soccer games for no reason other then they missed an exit because they had to drive and not look down lol

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    How do you guys think I am funding my Scout? Catch me wandering through basements in abandoned cul-de-sacs.

    For a bunch of cars with this capability I know that Waze works the same as CarPlay. Additionally I know for 2023(?) Volvo's it only worked when you used Android Auto/Google Maps (Their Operating system is AA based)

    Having a HUD is a huge + in my opinion. Anything that keeps my eyes on the road is super helpful. I was recently driving the new GMC Yukon Denali and having to glace down at its massive vertical screen for directions was so annoying. Having the HUD having a limited and "barebones" direction...

    Backseat Legroom SUV

    I would be a bit surprised if the Scout has poor legroom. If not for anything but the fact that its wheelbase is roughly Tahoe size (.5" smaller) and it has the "EV Layout/Packaging"

    Swore I’d never buy an EV, then Scout happened

    Another note to add to all of this is American companies are *in general* not doing to great in Europe (example link - Ford Europe is also cutting down the Focus and Fiesta production to near nothing or nothing - Tesla is being beaten like a rented pinata and jeep is.....jeep)) I think in...

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    Call me crazy, but I think baring drive train (due to it being an EV or EREV) most the car will be just as capable of being modified or repaired as other cars.

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    I will be calling someone for nearly everything I guess because I am a "Beta Male" whatever that means

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Agreed. Although at this point I am really rooting for it to succeed because Stelantis can't afford to have another brand implode. Plus if this comes out and it raises people's interest in EREV/Range extended Hybrids in America then thats only good news for the Harvester and Scout

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I am not entirely sure that is correct. Car and Driver and wikipedia/RAM both say that it will be body on frame https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a63918006/2026-ramcharger-phev-2025-ram-1500-compared/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_1500_Ramcharger...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    As amazing as that is (love to see the sites being developed in California and Illinois) those won't get up and running for years. Would love to just see cheaper solar more readily available. Yet if we could get all of the rich land-grant universities that have good nuclear projects to each...

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    One of their unintended purposes is to also absolutely make me fall in love with the travelers interior and exterior color. I don't really know what other options there could be that could dissuade me from that (although give me the glass top)

    You would be surprised at how easy it is to patent something when you have a large amount of lawyers and a little creativity (Nervously looking at my own team).

    The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

    Agreed! I was going to say, the interior designs of the new Jeeps, Wagoneer, and Rams are the ONLY high spots of those cars for me lol

    Who else do we want to do a hands on review?

    The guys from Savagegeese! (But they are very very picky and nerdy so I would love for them to get a year 2 model or something)

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    I mean I might be correct, but considering the motor is just a generator and not being used to drive the wheels you might not see a power drop at all due to elevation (it just might charge slower so your range would be lower)?
