  • 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.

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    Looks right at home in its lean-to. Beautiful details and color. Would love to see a FULL terracotta seat, and what that might look like. Well done!

    Scout Field Service Manuals - Technical Manuals Would Be Fantastic For Owners

    *** Quick Anecdote: When Rivian launched (and prior to me taking delivery) there was a tremendous amount of content online and on YouTube, as well as great content from the company. If you were following along (like we are here) you were essentially a product expert before you were an owner and...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    Regular travel is a great use case for any EV, based on average travel distance. Also, EV's make excellent off-road vehicles (and to be clear, never in my post did I say they were not ideal off-road). It might be helpful to step-back, understand where sales will come from for Scout, who will be...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    interesting. I'm not sure you understand EV ownership - Most owners do the majority of their charging at home (or even at work, for FREE in many cases) For most owners, you only charge at DCFC's and pay higher rates IF / WHEN on a road trip. Nobody is forcing anybody to buy an EV and charge...

    Terra truck bed looks smaller now.

    FYI and not sure if you realize this or not, but you are replying directly to a Scout executive. Even if what you stated were true (which it is not), you are still looking at a prototype truck. Scout has stated many times that final specs will be published with the production vehicle, and...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    Lots of variables to consider here, but these are a few that have come up in the conversation. My own opinion is that Scout is smart not to try to bite this off in Phase 1 of their new product (and new company) launch: 1. Solar is available today as an aftermarket accessory, and not a core...

    Scout Field Service Manuals - Technical Manuals Would Be Fantastic For Owners

    What if the locks are broken and the doors won't open? LOL. Just kidding. But you could always access it from your phone or your computer to PRINT another copy!

    Scout Field Service Manuals - Technical Manuals Would Be Fantastic For Owners

    The only time I have ever needed to print anything from the online owners manual (also available via the infotainment screen, which is great) was when I wanted to give my local tire shop instructions on accessing maintenance mode and changing a tire, and that was just in case they ran into any...

    Option for vehicle delivery at plant

    This is such an excellent plan. I remember driving my Silverado 2500HD with 100K+ miles into the ground before taking delivery of my R1T (fully expecting that the shift to the R1T would be even BETTER if the Silverado was on its last legs)... Rivian also matched my estimate from Edmunds or...

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

    Agreed - after my first DTC purchase, it would be very hard to go back to a dealer - ever.

    What is the "Scout Supply gear bench"?

    What is the "Scout Supply gear bench"?

    Tool box and bench seat (top of the tool box) sitting up against the back of the bed in the Terra.

    Bigger frunk

    While we're on the subject of fitting strange things into storage spaces (no offense SpaceEV), the R1T gear tunnel also accommodates a medium sized bluefin tuna... You just getting remember to hose-down the rubber floor mat, or you will have deep regrets later.

    Higher Range

    I have over 50K miles on my 2022 R1T, and this is not the case at all. I have seen no range loss and my charging speeds are very stable. Charging to 80% is NOT a requirement, and while charging from 80 to 100% does hit the slower part of the charge curve, I have rarely had the need to charge to...

    Bigger frunk

    Rivian Frunk easily holds 12 XL pizzas (and keeps them warm) above the false floor (there's more storage underneath the pizza deck) Pretty sure the Scout frunk will have more cubic space available:

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    Similar comments for Rivian when the first service trucks they deployed to the field were gas powered (because there were no EV vans available yet, due to demand from Amazon). Fast forward to today and there are Rivian AMZN delivery vans all over the roads around major cities doing last mile...

    Bigger frunk

    Scout literally has insta vids showing the frunk with luggage, beach gear, etc... If you want to see a small frunk, go look at a BMW.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Keeping herd mentality and nature theme alive, here we have the North Atlantic Water Elk taking their daily feeding trek through the tuna grounds. Some days you can see them from the beach, others days they are 30 miles off the coast. They make incredible bugling sounds as well and have...

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    In the world of saltwater fishing, that paint scheme would be called "SandEel green" and it is absolutely an amazing color with that metal flake. Looks a lot like the topside of my favorite lure. LOL.
