  • 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 we all forget sometimes is that this is all new territory with electric cars. Older electric cars used first-generation battery technology, different battery chemistries, and battery temperature management (packaging). Add in continued software improvements, better battery management...

    Taking bets on the new color of the Traveler Concept to be seen soon...

    Traveler will be in New York but Terra will not. It is coming back from another event and won't be back in time.

    What one thing would you like to see changed from concept to production?

    We will show a render of what it looks like later this year. The non-tire carrier version has a different filler panel. On the concept it isn’t really removable.

    What one thing would you like to see changed from concept to production?

    What he is saying is that the production models have real bumpers, air bags, DOT seat belts, improved aero that wouldn’t be cheap to incorporate into the concepts, etc., etc. The production models are virtually identical to the concepts. There are some spotting differences, but most are...

    0-60 times with harvester

    Different battery chemistries have different power densities. That power density can affect acceleration numbers. So the motors may be the same, but if the battery pack in one vehicle is NMC and the other is LFP, then performance could be different. That's without getting into the weeds on using...

    I'm Ready for Another Big Announcement

    We will show an updated Terra concept around September 7th. It features new paint, updated interior accents, and some new accessories and looks. Since we are trying to launch not one, but two vehicles in a brand new factory, you can expect that it is likely we will launch with one model first...
