  • 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.

    How Does Speed Affect EV Range? We took a blocky Kia EV9 and an aero-friendly Lucid Air to the test track at speeds between 35 and 95 mph to find out. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65490029/how-does-speed-affect-ev-range-tested/

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    That solution sounds like a nightmare. Too many car owners don't read the manual. People these days can't escape their cars when there's no power despite manual releases being present.

    It will definitely come to market. It's a hot segment. Whether it comes to market on schedule or is any good is subject to debate.

    Fun fact: Kool-Aid was not the beverage at Jonestown. It was Flavor Aid. Knowing that made it difficult for me to buy into the premise of The Studio TV show.

    Brightdrop is struggling: 2024: 1,529 units were sold, significantly behind Ford's 12,610 E-Transit and Rivian's 13,243 units. First Half of 2024: Sales reached 746 units. I checked one out at the auto show. It has some nice features. Amazon has purchased 12 Brightdrops to see how they...

    Terra truck bed looks smaller now.

    It's the same truck as before. It was repainted. Perhaps the larger 37"s are throwing you off? Or a trip to the eye doctor may be in order.

    Yes, this is what I was alluding to. I also have a memory the straps in the front door pockets indicated the max fording depth (or I'm crazy. Perhaps both).

    I'm very interested to see how they're going to engineer this. And whether or not the fording capabilities will be affected by the Harvester.

    Must haves to purchase…

    There are a lot of optimists here. Everyone automatically assumes the cost savings will be passed along to the consumer. We have no idea what it's going to cost. There's nothing to stop them from pocketing that money and saying we're getting a better deal. I'm hoping the answer lies somewhere in...

    An Appreciation Post for Jamie

    Let's all take a moment to appreciate Jamie (and everyone at Scout) for all the work they do. They not only get to deal with all the passionate knuckleheads here, but all the weirdos and haters on social media too. For instance, this recent Facebook exchange:
