  • 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.

    Expert Car Designer Analysis of Scout Traveler and Terra

    I just found this video on YouTube where they discuss the Scout Traveler and Terra designs. I thought the folks here would enjoy it.

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    There is one extra thing I want to bring up in support of paddles. The paddles in an electric vehicle are set up to control the regen level by default. But, remember, they are really just a couple of easily accessible physical switches. With a "software defined vehicle," their function can be...

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    What you are "missing" is that you don't use the paddles that way. With or without paddles, when you are closing on a car in front of you, you lift your foot off of the accelerator and put it on the break. If the regen level isn't strong enough to slow you down enough, you press down on the...

    Terra tailgate questions

    One of the things that was mentioned by a Scout rep (I am not sure where) is that the trucks will be "80% user serviceable". So access to the Harvester engine for regular maintenance (without needing a repair shop) would certainly be a consideration. I doubt many of Scout's customers would...

    Terra tailgate questions

    I am not sure what you are asking for here. Are you asking for a top view of the Terra so you know where the Harvester engine will be? Or are you asking about something else?

    Tow range

    They have not published details about the generator, so there is not enough information available to answer your questions. My best guess is that the Harvester will be a less powerful version of the 2026 RAMcharger. If you want details about how the system will work, I suggest watching one of...

    Solo Scout camping fantasy lineup

    If you are interested in induction cooking, have you looked at the stand alone induction cook tops like Nuwave? You can get the Nuwave 10 inch cook top for about $100. It will work at home or while camping (with a power source, of course). I have a 12 inch Nuwave, and I prefer it ove gas...

    Harvester towing

    What if you did not have to unhitch to charge? Is that the only reason? Or just one of many? I also have a Harvester reserved for just this reason (needing to unhitch to charge), but Walmart has released info about their plans to add chargers () and this will include chargers that offer pull...

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

    I don't want to see any TV advertising from Scout until they can put firm delivery dates into their commercials. I remember the Ram commercial in the Superbowl. I was excited beforehand because I heard that Ram was finally going to announce their BEV and EREV trucks. Then I saw the commercial...

    Special/First Edition Scouts

    Scout has the advantage of learning from other people's mistakes, so hopefully they can avoid the sort of drama Rivian caused. Scout's claim of "retail prices starting under $60,000" actually seems low to me, but they have not said what you do and don't get for $60K. So I will wait and see what...

    How would you build your Scout?

    How would I spec out my ideal Scout? This is how: Harvester Terra pickup Copper or blue/grey color (basically, either of the colors on the demo vehicles) Roof the same color as the body (not two tone and no stripe) Standard aluminum rims (not off road types) 33" tires (or whatever the standard...

    Terra questions about tires and payload

    If you have questions about the EV ownership experience, you could take some time to read the "We own EVs. Ask Us Anything" thread. There is lots of useful info that will help you if you are concerned about buying an EV.

    DC Input for Portable Solar Panels

    According to the EcoFlow website, the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 has a battery capacity of 4096Wh - so just over 4KWh. A single 400W solar panel will charge it from 0 to 100% in about 37 hours of sunlight. That works out to about 0.1KW per hour. The rigid 400W solar panel is 67.8×44.6×1.38 inches and...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    Neither of those would be my motivation to change from the Harvester to the BEV. What would motivate me to change to a BEV is if Walmart actually delivers on their plan to install DC fast charging in their locations with pull through stalls for people with trailers. It is only a few times a...

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

    Okay, now I'm pissed. I am getting the Terra, so there is no place to install my flux capacitor without blocking the rear window.

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

    Walmart's Plan To Blanket The US With The Walmart EV Charging Network Video on State of Charge channel: The video says the rollout is planned to be complete by the end of the decade. If they can manage to do that, I think this will help a lot to answer people's concerns about range anxiety.

    Trailer Options?

    <rant>Why can't blog posts or article like these include publication dates? It is so annoying to see something like this an not be able to tell, until you start following the links to products, that the article was written X years ago. And now all the products suggested are either no longer...

    Solar-Ready package (especially for the Traveler)

    There is no port (electrical plug or cable hatch) that you could use while driving. The wiring from the solar panels wouldn't be able to take the strain. If you want to be able to use solar panels while driving, the solar installation would have to be semi-permanent. The wiring would have to be...

    Solar-Ready package (especially for the Traveler)

    Instead of a plug, how about a built in weather tight cable hatch? A cable hatch is a small door that RVs use to allow power cords (and other stuff) to run between the inside and outside of the vehicle when it is parked. With a cable hatch you are not bound to a specific outlet type. So you can...
