  • 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.

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Hehe… I’ve had plenty of close calls hanging on to the last few percent—dragging out RV cords and adapters, hoping to find an outlet when the range wasn’t enough. Charging stations aren’t always reliable, especially the remote ones. And I don’t always stick to highways, so it’s hit-or-miss to...

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Other reason why the harvester needs to be able to recharge to 100%, and it's not just national parks, it's going anywhere you want to go but not having a convenient way to charge. Or simply the Peace of mind Why America’s National Parks Still Don’t Have Enough EV Chargers...

    0-60 times with harvester

    Hehe.. The only one that ever scared me was in a model X.

    0-60 times with harvester

    I wouldn't say Overkill. You don't have to have a 0 to 60 like that all the time. For example, Tesla has a chill mode and it used to be called ludicrous mode or sport mode. It is now but still it's nice to have when you want it

    We do ;) and it is a consideration. A 3.5 is a good average these days

    0-60 times with harvester

    Agree, I'm just pointing out weight shouldn't be much Assuming the battery is built for the correct parameters, there shouldn't be any problem moving the weight of the vehicle is my only point.

    0-60 times with harvester

    I don’t think the battery affects 0–60 times much, even with extra weight. It's more about the motors. Rivian uses four motors to handle the load, while Tesla goes with three in its high-performance models—so acceleration comes down to drivetrain design, not battery size.

    0-60 times with harvester

    Hoping Scout can hold 3.5 second 0–60 with the Harvester. Even 3.8 would be nice—extended-range Lightning hits that despite its weight. Id imagine the curb weight will be similar. Might even have a sporty model that does 2s.

    Scout Motors Needs to Rethink “Local” Service. Don't do the Tesla model.

    I’m hopeful Scout can deliver on this in a way that keeps insurance costs low—that alone could significantly boost adoption rates for these vehicles.

    Scout Motors Needs to Rethink “Local” Service. Don't do the Tesla model.

    Just a quick note for Scout’s team regarding this post: EVs often come with higher insurance costs and tougher repair logistics than gas vehicles. And it’s not just Tesla—this applies across brands. For example, my Ford Lightning Platinum cost $526 (good) for six months of coverage, while my...

    Solar Tonneau option

    I’m running a portable 1kW solar array and a Delta Pro Ultra I built for off-grid use. I’ve got a clear read on what appliances actually consume—fridges, HVAC, cooking gear, etc.—and I know panel efficiency is the real constraint. Those 100W foldables aren’t going to move the needle. But if a...

    Solar Tonneau option

    Then let the people who don’t want to upgrade… not upgrade. Solar panel efficiency may drop in cloudy conditions, but it’s still a valuable backup—especially alongside the onboard generator, which at best might function as a Level 2 charger. And by the way, it hasn’t even been confirmed whether...

    I will gladly pay more as a trim or a package for a vehicle that can charge itself by just sitting there and offset accessory.

    Solar Tonneau option

    This is what separates a company like Tesla from the legacy manufacturers—they do things no one else does. Everyone else is just playing catch-up. Which brings me back to Scout: if they want to truly stand apart from other EV makers, they have a rare opportunity to do something no one else has...

    Solar Tonneau option

    I get your point. I've watched a lot of videos with the people that are designing these vehicles and I know they have some smart people. I think they can either launch with a package or a trim for people who actually want it.
