  • 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.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    great explanation, and the graphic is very helpful. For completeness, should add that Europe uses CCS2, a combination of type two and DC pins for DC charging, and that NACS is an up-and-coming standard in North America.

    CYURE GOES TO NATIONALS!!! Yay!!!

    So, I really love the way it looks too, but sometimes I wonder with all those nooks and crannies if snow and dirt and stuff will get stuck up in there and be difficult to clean?

    Charging while driving…Wild, irresponsible speculation...

    “Back in the day” was probably the last time I crawled under a car, so that tracks. :)

    Charging while driving…Wild, irresponsible speculation...

    Speaking from ignorance (as is my specialty) I haven’t heard a good explanation for this issue. My rampant speculation is that it’s a software issue born from attempted efficiency. That is to say, with an ICE engine, it’s running the alternator all the time, so the battery is always getting...

    What Song Will You Play First in Your New Scout?

    Dude, you’re making it really difficult to pigeonhole you! :ROFLMAO:

    8 That makes sense, since it doesn’t need to drive a starter, it can be smaller.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    It could be a helpful cue to remind me whether I’m driving or just passenging. Or am I giving away my age again? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    In the Reddit post, I think the charger is rivian, not the vehicle. Not sure what vehicle it is, but might be an older one without fast charging, or even a phev.

    Poll: Would you use a Scout configurator tool if pricing and details are not finalized yet?

    Tried Porsche configurator many times … (emoji search turns up nothing for “wistful”)

    PLEASE DO NOT DO AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH STARLINK - NO MUSK

    I think we all have lines we won’t cross and can respect those lines of others without trying to minimize them as just “political”. And regardless of your opinion of the guy in charge of starlink, I think we can all understand why someone would not want their hard earned dollars to go towards...

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

    One of the things I took away from the 80% customer repairability comment was that also meant that 80% of repairs could be done by your favorite local mechanic, which i suspect may not be true for rivian. For those of us without a 2 story garage with 10 foot high doors, that’s a blessing. :)...

    Please do NOT use soy based wiring!

    Yeah, I guess a better request would be to please make rodents don’t like chewing on the wires, whatever it is that leads to that.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    To move a vent, I merely move the vent. Both the vents I want to move are closer than the screen, it’s easier to precisely control (I find precision on a touchscreen to be almost impossible), there’s no motor/system to break, and I don’t have to push a button first. And the desired position of...
