  • 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.

    I'm still waiting for an In-N-Out to open in Albuquerque! We do have a Trader Joes though!

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

    Planning for the kiddos futures was a worry for me early on. Sounds like you have a good plan!

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    I always figure in about $10K when I start shopping for a vehicle. Sometimes I'm suprised but that is usually when I pick a higher level to start with if most of the options I want are there. Don't think this will be any differant.

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

    Definately want the build one app ASAP. I built up a bunch of Broncos online but they all were around $70k. Never did pull the trigger though.

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

    Most radiant heaters I'm aware of are pretty power hungry. Is that wise for an EV?

    A lot of the docents are former military including the Lt Col that works with me who was working on MX. It's a great group of experienced people I get to work with.

    Pretty much what I faced. Rumors are that the 2026 RAV4s will all be either hybrid, PHEV or EV.

    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!

    I am retired but now charge exhobadent fees to re-teach them to to fab and test parts... the right way. Such fun.

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

    Small world considering the exposure people have to optics in general. I made the pupil splitter for Chandra and pickoff mirrors for WFPC II and Stardust. Made some for the probe that crashed into Mars because they used english instead of metric to program the chute opening. 1,000 feet is not...

    That is how ULE (Ultra Low Expansion) 'glass' is made. Super stable stuff. Zerodur may be made in a similar fashion and what was used for the Stardust probe mirror I made. It doesn't have the 'layered' alignment problem ULE has and nearly as stable. I made etalon spacers with ULE.

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    My son's Subaru beeps at him if the car in front moves and he doesn't let up on the brake peddle.... just in case he's not paying attention

    Illinois Dealer Fight

    Yup, and considering the NM has one of the highest solar indexes in the country and lots of folks, like me, have solar, you'd think PHEVs would be sent here, but nope! The only PHEV I could get in less that 3 months was the VolvoXC60 T8 Recharge for around the $73k mark which is a beauitful car...
