  • 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.

    Accessories Poll For Scouts

    I didn't see an option for Bed Shell / Camper Shell. That's high on my list.

    Instrument Cluster

    I may be going against the grain here on this, but the instrument cluster is my least favorite design choice. Nothing against a digital cluster or the UI of it. That looks great, but rather the housing. I had a rental that had basically that same physical setup. Where it looks like they slapped...

    Manual Control of 4x4 system instead of silly GOAT like modes

    I like this. My only opposition to this is sway bar disconnect only allowed on 4 low. I use it all the time in 4 high. And is very much appreciated. It will automatically kick back on if I go past like 15 MPH. So I'd expect similar here too.

    Option for a Rugged/Waterproof Interior Trim

    That's assuming that we are stuck with existing work flows. There's a difference between Authentication and Authorization. Using standard RBAC policies, you could theoretically configure any compatible radio device that provides a unique ID. To be allowed to authenticate and Authorized to unlock...

    Where are EV chargers needed

    Unfortunately I do not. Only one 240v outlet in my house and it's upstairs, with the dryer plugged into it.

    Where are EV chargers needed

    Maybe true now, but by their own post "It’s always been our ambition to open the Supercharger network to all EVs, and by doing so, encourage more drivers to rapidly transition to an emission-free future." From my link above, I don't think there will be limitations to access based on car...

    Where are EV chargers needed

    Do EVs come with a power cord that can plug that can plug into a standard 240 volt outlet? Thinking about camp sites with electric hookups

    Where are EV chargers needed

    Since I don't have an EV right now. I'm not sure how saturated the stations are. If I would have to guess based on how many EVs I see. I'd say probably not overly. But having a few more spread out would be nice. So you don't have to travel 30-40 minutes away to charge up. I know most people...

    Third Party Accessories

    Please please, I hope the fine folks at SM are building relationships with third party manufacturers. It would be nothing short of incredible if out of the gate you were able to look for parts and see them already there to purchase. For example I am keeping an eye on this bed shell. Crossing...

    Where are EV chargers needed

    Eastern Idaho, 8 stations for the whole side if the state. And some of those are technically in neighboring states.

    Where are EV chargers needed

    So Tesla may very well charge a premium for non Tesla vehicles. But there shouldn't be any reason to prevent a SM EV from charging at one. No company to company deal needed. https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharging-other-evs They're opening up access.

    Battery tech

    New and better doesn't always mean more expensive. Take the advancements in solar panels for example. The emerging tech of perofskyte (I know I spelled that wrong, but typing in a rush). The raw materials are cheaper, the manufacturing is less demanding (eg cheaper), and because it's more...

    SCOUT TERRA FAQ

    I would love to see a transfer case with - 2x High - All wheel - 4x High - 4x Low Where "All wheel" is your run on 2x, bring in the other wheels on demand method. And 4x high is the traditional all time 4x4, we expect I off roader.

    Rear AC in the roof

    Not having vents in the back row in my 4 door Wrangler is annoyingly frustrating.

    Battery tech

    Valid points. Don't think it's any where near commercially viable. Just that if the military is investing in it, it may bring the costs down in shorter order than without their push. I forget the name of the company in the video but they have factories in the states and building more. Granted...

    Instagram Wallpapers/Backgrounds for Reservations

    I second this. I could use some good vertical landscape, high res Terra wallpapers. Maybe a little reserves badge thrown in.

    Battery tech

    Interesting video / article on new battery tech the military is investing in. Made in the USA, could be a good fit for SM. https://undecidedmf.com/why-the-us-military-chose-silicon-graphene-batteries/

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    This is it. This is how I was thinking it should be handled. Just didn't come to my mind as well as you put it. My question is, what happens if you're on EV only mode for like a really extended period of time. Since you plug in every night? Will there be a gas maintenance mode so that it...

    Modular battery pack design

    I see where the OP is going with this and normally I'd be all for it. Bring back replacable phone batteries!! But for a lot of what's been said already, the practicality starts to go out the door. I'd imagine the battery pack and compartment needs to be very precise to handle all the rough...
