  • 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.

    So just like last year. Show us your Goodies (your Scout gifts that is). I didn’t get any actual Scout merch but my daughter made me a Scout orange leather wallet and coordinating key ring tag-blown away-can’t believe she made the whole thing from scratch. I did order the watch so when that...

    Are you OK with Scout vehicles starting under $60K?

    So rather than long debates on pricing I would just like to post a poll on the anticipated price of the Traveler and the Terra. Please vote so SM knows if the vehicles are overpriced as currently advertised (even with disclaimers). Thanks

    What would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today

    Since @cyure started with everyone’s first car I’m gonna riff off of it and ask what would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today and keep it until they bury you. Extra points if you share a pic and explain your logic. No right or wrong-just what appeals to your inner car loving soul!

    E-brake

    So I was wondering. Do EV’s need E-brakes of any kind or due to frictions does emergency brake and/or parking brake even need to be there? Does computer just “lock” the friction so wheels don’t roll? EV is completely new to me and was just wondering? Thanks ahead of time!
