  • 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.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    To preface this, I don't have nearly enough time to go into every detail but broadly speaking, a couple of points: One of the big pieces you haven't factored in is that this all-new platform has significant R&D costs that need to be recouped. There is no existing body-on-frame light-duty truck...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Scout Motors will always strive to make our vehicles as cost-effective as possible while maintaining a strong value proposition. The disparity between ICE and EV vehicles is still very real in this market. China subsidizes its automotive market heavily (reported $47B+ in 2025 alone) which gives...

    Scout Traveler In Chicago December 10, 2025

    Only thing I'll caution is that the weather forecast looks iffy with rain/sleet/snow the night before into that morning. It would be a long way to go for you if we have to pull the plug.

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

    We aren’t going to add fake engine noises to the vehicles as some articles and social posts imply. Instead we are pulling reference sounds from legacy scouts and nature to use in a variety of ways. We will have a bigger story and video about it in the future.

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

    If we at Scout (and I) do our jobs right, the information you get here in the forums should be the same as the information you get at the autoshow. I really do try and tell you all the latest information. 😎

    The Scout factory itself isn’t “mainly built off of state grants”. The State and County had to spend money to prepare the land and infrastructure (moving major electrical towers, building a rail connection including a rail bridge over a highway, building a new highway interchange, and moving...
