  • 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.

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    Looks like the departure angle on the SUV is going to be fantastic.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    AC outlets on the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The great advantage of EVs is their ability to power a campsite or worksite. Would love to see easy access to power and perhaps even a 240V outlet like the F-150 Lightning has for job sites.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    Cup holders that actually fit today's water bottles. I don't know why automakers stubbornly stick with tiny cupholders. If I'm exploring, I'm going to have a large bottle—something from Hydro Flask, Yeti, or Stanley. Too many vehicles can't accommodate these containers, especially for the rear...

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    Physical buttons for primary functions. The reason I went with a GV60 over an Ioniq 5 is because the Genesis had a greater variety of physical buttons. Touch screens have their place and advantages but vehicle operation should be able to happen mostly by feel.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    800-volt architecture or equivalent tech that allows for fast charging. I went from a Chevrolet Bolt EUV (one of the slowest charging) to a Genesis GV60 (one of the fastest charging) and I cannot stress the difference it makes on a road trip. It feels like a gas stop now! I want a Scout that...

    Learn from the Bronco

    Being mindful of the sensors in the bumpers and fenders is a great point. Does the F-150 Lightning have a solution for this for people who attach snowplows or change the front bumper entirely?
