  • 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.

    This is great advice for those new to EVs or those not familiar with DCFCs.

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    I have 7 including the BMW app. Scout will definitely have one. I thinks it’s ridiculous. ChargePoint, EVGo, Tesla, Shell, Electrify America, and Autel are all in my phone. Really annoying.

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    I think you probably could have made it home but I understand your frustration and why you did what you did. By the way, I am pretty sure you have to use the Autel app at their chargers. That is the most annoying part of charging in my opinion. I do not like all the different apps and...

    I didn’t know that either. They can certainly do better than 150kW.

    Please have at it because I’m sure you will be able add all the little details that I just do not know. But, I suspect that it will further the cost effectiveness of the EV. What this example did not account for is biological needs. It only calculated fuel stops. A human would have to stop...

    Bummer that it’s delayed. I’ve never seen one of the Lincoln units in person. That’s cool.

    I just took all the info from this post and added data from fueleconomy.gov for various gas powered 2025 F150 4x4s along with average gas prices in the areas driven and cooled it up in ChatGPT. Results are pretty interesting. Ford F-150 Lightning vs Gas F-150 — Real-World West Coast Road Trip...

    I appreciate where you’re coming from. But, I’d like to think we’re all in the same camp with different gear. We’re all Scouts!

    The reasons not to do this just keep piling up. This is great insight for everyone. Thanks!

    I’m glad I asked this question. I completely agree with every point you’ve made. You have way more experience at DCFCs than I do so I figured you would have an opinion or may have even seen the extension cords in use. Bad idea.

    Would you ever consider a DCFC cable extension? I have some reservations about them, but maybe I’m being overly cautious.

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    Interesting point. I have not noticed any odd tire wear in my previous or current iX. But, my suspension has less travel than a Rivian.

    I got my current BMW iX in August. I have used efficient mode 83% of the time for a total of 6323 miles. My average consumption is 3.2 mi/kwh. I utilize one pedal driving, and navigation to almost every destination. But, I use the HVAC, radio, massage seats etc freely without trying to...
