  • 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.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    There will always be people that think they know better and will do what they want. I say let them. It isn't my job to tell them what is the "right way" to do things. With the Scout Harvester, the people that do know how to take advantage of the battery for the majority of their driving but need...

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    If you could get them to update the Scout web site to say this, that would be a great help. I keep correcting people online and they respond "look at this video" or "look at their web site". So if I could point them to the specific place on the web site where it has this explicit "up to" mileage...

    Traveler vs. Terra - Targeted Technical Questions

    Where are you getting that from? I have not seen anything that indicates the Traveler and Terra would have different battery sizes. Just because the Terra has more space between the wheels doesn't mean they will put a larger battery in. IMHO, it would be better for Scout to keep the battery...

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

    Depending on the type of panel you have, you might be able to free up extra space in it so you can put in a 50amp breaker for a level 2 charger. A friend had a similar issue - not enough room in his panel for a new circuit. His solution was to get tandem 15amp breakers so he could put two 15amp...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    I love this picture, thanks for sharing it! So, will the service centers and showrooms actually have awnings like that? And, if so, how well will they be secured to the building? :cool:

    Yes, I do want to sneak up on people. I gotta keep my monthly point count up. :p

    Pilot Builds in 2026?

    In the Car Scoops article (https://www.carscoops.com/2025/12/scouts-terra-and-traveler-want-to-sound-like-no-other-ev/) on the sound recordings they are making for the new Scout vehicles, the final sentence said this: This is the first I have heard of "pilot builds in 2026." Are these the...

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

    It would depend on how they implement it, but I don't think you will have to use the paddles regularly to adjust the regen. In my HI5 (which has the dual paddles for adjustable regen) I played with it a bit when I got the car, but I finally settled on the regen level I liked and have not...

    Jeep Recon

    At least in "The Drive" article, the author did more than complain. He suggestion for the panels is a good one. Hopefully someone at Jeep will make sure that the right people see it and put some serious thought into the author's suggestion.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I have a problem with wasps in my area as well. :( I'm glad you mentioned it though. I have to spray my sheds and porch with wasp killer every spring to keep them from establishing new nests. I guess I'll be adding this cabinet to the "springtime spray" list. I should also look into some...

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Just to be clear - the message I saw said they were putting the gas tank for the Harvester EREV further to the rear (behind the battery) in the center section of the vehicle. I have not heard anything about them changing the location of the engine (generator). I have seen conflicting info about...

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Some things to keep in mind Scout has not provided official towing numbers for the Harvester configuration, the 5,000 number was speculative from the Jay Leno video. The official word from Scout representatives is that total towing capacity for the Harvester (for both Traveler and Terra) is...

    Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

    It is this sort of messaging that causes the confusion. The BEV is up to 350 miles pure electric. The EREV is up to 150 miles pure electric with the Harvester (generator) adding up to 350 miles for a total range of 500 miles. Saying it the way you did leads people to think that the EREV has...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Congratulations on getting your new EV. I just wanted to say "well done" on finishing the level-2 EVSE install in the cold weather. I just finished installing my level-2 EVSE in the cold, but my cold was ~50F. I waited for warmer weather (it snowed yesterday), but even 50F was uncomfortable.

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

    While I can't provide a link, I'm pretty sure that a Scout rep has confirmed that the bench seats will have a fold down center console.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    The green is aesthetic - it is to match the trim on the porch. The porch rail above the cabinet needs some touch up, but that is true for most of the porch. That is a Spring project. :rolleyes:

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    This is a misconception that a lot of people have, but it is not true. Jamie has already confirmed multiple times that the EREV will be gas-and-go - you do not need to charge the battery when on a long trip. You can simply fill up with gas (range of ~350 miles) and continue driving. The...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I finally finished installing my outdoor 50amp circuit and Level-2 EVSE. I don't have a garage, so I made a cabinet to keep the install looking clean and keep the weather off of the unit.
