  • 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.

    Also considering what the proposed specs are for the SLATE I think the Hand-built custom Scout "Show-Models" might be as usable as the SLATE test mules :ROFLMAO:

    This article is written very odd, they keep talking about fear in America but then reference UK government officials. IDK, these fears are always funny to fixate on when even our traditional energy grid (and other "Grids" see Operation Salt Typhoon) is incredibly easy to get access to. Members...

    Towing a Off-Road Trailer with the Terra

    Honestly I think the EV Terra should be able to? Isn't the full EV going to be able to tow like 10k? I think the EPX-10 and -8 (Which is my fav) are under 9k. Which IMO is a little tight to the tow range but whatever we are playing make-believe with the capabilities of everything right now.

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    Dam bar for bar this is exactly what I was looking for (Although personally I would switch out the Tactile Buttons for Scout if I was ranking it Most -> Least)

    INL is a great national lab with some super talented folks, but I hope that Oak Ridge leans a little more on Y-12 and gets back into the game. Oak Ridge has double the budget of INL and was the birthplace for the first "real" nuclear reactor (U-Chicago's was not designed for continuous use) (I...

    To be fair that is also what has been happening to Rivian, they were eating a LOT of amortized costs for the tooling and plant for the R1 family.

    What do you all do? Curious about Scout buyers occupations, or former occupations.

    I am a Material and Process Engineer working in Polymer AM R&D at one of the Aerospace Primes.

    Oh god a modular car. This sounds like it would be super easy to design and test around. Yes I love engineering modular things

    Scout Deal Breakers

    If that happened to me I would veer into highway barrier so fast

    In what movie franchise would you like to see the new Scout make an appearance?

    Plus would avoid a potential issue I can see with the General Lee

    Not to be that guy, but this venture is explicitly aimed at making low-cost and affordable micromobiility E-Vehicles. Considering RJ's wording I would gather that these are aimed at a sub $6k price point for entry.

    Getting into defense is interesting. Germany currently has a couple options (and the will) to massively ramp up their defense spending with no harm to their other commitments to EU. I suppose that would mean sell or lease a factory (to Rheinmetal like they have talked about) and have the workers...

    What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

    Concerning the 35's vs 33's discussion it is also important to note that you would probably get better range with the 33's just because they are lighter.

    I think its mostly the private individuals. The amount of people driving around the city I live in with top trim level trucks/suvs is astronomical. I think there is a combination of affordable cars not being made anymore, the "keep up with the Jones's effect", financial illiteracy, and then...

    and you guys are moving fairly fast. My company is putting in a new factory (about the same cost if reporting from Reuters is to be believed) and its a minimum 5 year project. But my industry also is drastically more expensive and risk averse then Automotive
