  • 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.

    When the video first asks, “How do they do this?” I pictured the man standing at the Heart Machine moving levers on a clock-like face, to match moving lights. From the old Metropolis movie by Fritz Lang

    What was your first car?

    It would have been fun to bore and stroke this to 196ci and throw a supercharger on it.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Had the sub panel for my battery backup installed yesterday. The panel on the left is the original, and the 14-50 plug underneath is the charging outlet for the battery. It’s a 240V/50A so I could repurpose it to an EVSE if I want. The panel on the right is the sub panel. The outlet below...

    Maybe, maybe not. That’s a pretty slick presentation of sound-bite mini newslets. There’s no real analysis, but a dependence on emotion provoking language. Scout just headlined the list. As for the truth of it, who knows?

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    I would think EREV. Before SHTF you fabricate a portable pump with hose and power, small enough to drop down the filler neck at a gas station… and “Bob’s your Uncle”!

    That is a great article, thanks for sharing it. I’m unclear though if the ban is for SC residents only, or includes those of us out of state who will come to pick their Scout.

    At first I wasn’t sure about the Scout headlights, but they’ve grown on me. Every rendering I’ve seen with round headlights looks too ‘Bronco-ish’ in my view.

    How do you avoid the back strain? That’s the one thing about a hammock, no back support.
