  • 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.

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

    Doesn’t work so well in a phoenix summer 😜

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

    It’ll always be the gas pedal to me. That reminds me, when I make a collection of songs in iTunes, I’m gonna start calling them “mix tapes” just to make my kids eyes roll 😂

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

    Reminds me of back in the day when I was told that you should get your car up to 90-100 once in a while to clean out carbon deposits or something like that. Never stopped to ask if it was true 😉

    E-brake

    I suspect your intuition is not unfounded. Tesla goes to great lengths to design for manufacturability, sacrificing repairability. I expect mature car companies have a little more balance. I’m hoping scout will lean towards reapairability more than most, otherwise folks on this forum will be...

    Rethink Steering Wheel Design?

    But it looks cool! 🤣 (And I’m sure it goes to 11)

    Real world EREV/PHEV Towing, Offroad, and Range Testing

    Thanks for the summary, I didn’t have the stamina to watch the whole thing.

    I can understand why car makers don’t want Apple to take over their entire interface.

    CCS and NACS

    Putting it on the right front works better with Tesla chargers as you don’t have to back in. Routing “around the trunk” is no different than routing “around the interior”, in fact there’s probably more flexibility because you can tweak the frunk design if there’s any real issue. How much...

    CYURE GOES TO NATIONALS!!! Yay!!!

    Maybe it’s a knee pad for when you’re fiddling with the molle panels 😀

    What my car’s built-in solar panels did for me today

    $19 per kWh? That’s crazy! At that price, it seems like it would incentivize folks to run generators on a hot afternoon, which seems like a bad idea.

    Let's play " what will my Scout look like pulling my off road trailer "

    Now I’m envisioning an after market “Scoot” badge 🙃

    E-brake

    Personally I like this. VWs MEB platform is the only one I know that uses drum brakes. And it’s only in the rear, the front brakes still have disks. Seems like a good trade off, when a lot of braking is from regen anyway.

    Not to mention violating muscle memory.

    CCS and NACS

    Yup, and it was in some ways technically ahead of its time (supported v2x) but was clunky and not too pretty.

    CCS and NACS

    It’s not as good as it sounds. They don’t have CCS, they have j1772 which is ac only, and the NACS port only supports DC charging. It’ll probably end up confusing a lot of users, especially if they try to use a Tesla destination charger. NACS is the way to go going forward, and there are...

    Wait, aren’t scouts supposed to be dirty? 😜

    E-brake

    I’m a little unsure what you mean. Surely an ev needs a parking brake just like any other car, and an emergency brake is needed as well, when other things fail. What am I missing?

    Double charge ports

    That is an odd choice. I suppose it may be sort of a legacy because the old model had chademo for dc charging so it had to have separate dc and ac charge ports. Seems like a waste though.
  19. O

    Double charge ports

    I’d settle for one, right in the middle, underneath, as long as it’s wireless 😉

    I note that that indicates traveler “offers a rear Mounted spare tire”. I remember some discussion of that being optional, and without the harvester there may be room for an under mounted spare (though maybe only 33). Was that ever confirmed? Or was it just speculation?
