  • 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.

    Because he is wrong, and desperately trying to spin things. Tesla exhausted the Canadian fund by submitting a ton of applications within a short period of time. I want to say it was around 8,500 vehicles in just a few weeks, which ended up being investigated for fraud. It turns our they had a...

    I think a more sensible approach would be the Feds offering 0% interest on Ev car loans as opposed to an upfront lump subsidy. Over the life of the loan it would probably be even more advantageous to the consumer when it comes to savings. It could probably get done without involving Congress...

    Lexus LX/Tesla3 ==> Terra BEV

    Depends on your social class really. I pridefully drive Toyota and Lexus 4x4s with high miles. If you have a business and can write that off, all the power to you. But as a Toyota/Lexus owner I have never been preoccupied about miles. They just work regardless of how many miles they had...

    Lexus LX/Tesla3 ==> Terra BEV

    Can confirm. My 1999 Land Cruiser (Poor Man’s LX470) and 1997 Lexus LX450 (Rich Man’s Land Cruiser) both had over 330k miles on them when they were sold/totalled. Still ran strong and I towed with both for work. They can easily last 500k miles without a major repair. You’ll replace a few water...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    It is beautiful! This reminds me of the first Terra configuration. I HATED the color but after catching it in the light in those desert photos it grew on me. I think these tricky colors are fun. You can walk out to your driveway and see a different color each day of the week depending on...

    Lexus LX/Tesla3 ==> Terra BEV

    Welcome! You are in good company. I’ve had 4 Lexus SUVs and they are phenomenal machines. I think the Traveler will be a fantastic move, especially if you never use the 3rd row. The Terra is also a great choice if you don’t have a pickup already. I too am hoping the batteries will be...

    I did also ask about the piano black accents being on all of them. The grab handle for the tire carrier had it and that would be scratched and torn up in no time. No solid answer, but apparently some of their internal teams are not a fan either, so I am hoping they win that battle before...
