  • 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.

    Still hope to see a Traveler concept version one day that's not overtly tuned to the offroaders' use case (and cleanly shows off the split tailgate). Don't shortchange the appeal of retro-modern design + physical switchgear to normies that never leave pavement.

    Scouts for tall people

    Re: headroom for the tall - wild guess is steel roof will have vaulted ceiling w/ plenty of headroom. An electrochromic roof might have been the same but don't expect that to be offered (FWIW - this would be my first choice; maybe it will be developed/offered now that Audi is joining in?)...

    A valiant effort despite the wrong cast! I do like the beam-up effect. And the ship in the sky reminds me of this scene from Battlestar Galactica some years ago -

    How about a selection to make it sound like a tractor? Or a UFO? Or Eddie Murphy repeatedly singing "Party All the Time"?

    Never thought I'd apply the term 'Butterface' to a car, but that pale butter yellow Telluride is it.

    No doubt that -is- Jamie. Perhaps keeping the BEV assembly team occupied as EREV gets prioritized? (Satire, people, satire.)

    I went to the website a few days go - before getting the email - and got the prompt to enter my address. Now just got the email and returned to website - did not get the prompt again, address was parked (no pun) in my profile.

    I'm sure they'll leave Tysons - near VW made some sense getting underway, but over time more distance (literally) and closer proximity to factory makes sense. Use 1710 Commonwealth Ave, Charlotte for a sense of where it is - past downtown Charlotte from the airport. I'd bet we'll see some kind...

    October 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Seems to be missing BEV chargers. Let's overreact - is that a signal re: EREV priority? Also - "Audi plans to build Land Rover Defender rival in U.S. on Scout platform - Audi’s new SUV will be an electric model with a range extender, designed specifically for American consumers. Audi has...

    Production start currently projected for late-2027/MY28, already one delay from 2026 per forecast before reveal last year. For various reasons, I expect MY28 will be slow launch/rollout. - wouldn't be surprised to see MY28 slip well into CY28.

    Why not swap the current concept colors onto the alternate bucks? I'm eager to see Traveler in Silo under sunlight.

    Perhaps recreate a scene from Star Trek? Struggling a bit to find the ideal image to mimic though -
