  • 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.

    130K reservations! My thoughts: I checked and Scout has nearly 3X Rivian's pre-launch reservation count of 48K which is very impressive! Although Rivian only launched with one model instead of two like Scout, that 48K number was logged two months before deliveries began whereas Scout is saying...

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    haha, that's ChatGPT replacing the plate with one from California. Actually checking right now and TRAVLR is taken already so that's a no go, but I wouldn't do a personalized plate anyway. What I would do is order the black legacy plate which is remake of the format that existed from 1963-1969...

    I think this one looks best.

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    Is this a wrap of the existing show car, a new paint job on the existing show car, or a completely new show car with the new paint color?

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    Yeah it'll look sublime out on Highway 1 here in California....and I just realized how dumb that sounds given the name is Pacific Mist lol. For fun I did a quick edit in mspaint just to see what it would look like. Yes this is low effort but conceptually the color fits in nicely.

    Porsche spending more time refining their designs digitally before making prototypes seems like a more efficient use of resources and makes it easier to implement improvements. Remember they're still doing prototypes, just not early stage ones.

    I'm going to try to gas light myself about batteries and range

    Yes I'd recommend charging to 100% in Alpine so you don't have to spend as long on an L2 down near the park. At the end of the day this is what EV road trip planning looks like. You can't assume there's chargers everywhere so you have to research your stops ahead of time. Sometimes you can use...

    I'm going to try to gas light myself about batteries and range

    Ok here's some good news, with research those rural areas can be conquered even Big Bend as long as you're okay charging overnight on an L2 at a hotel/RV park somewhere. Say you lived in Midland-Odessa. Drive to Terlingua, charge on L2 overnight at an RV park, boom you're good to go. If you feel...

    I'm going to try to gas light myself about batteries and range

    Yeah especially in your part of the world that's a challenge. Interstate travel is not a problem as there are plenty of fast chargers, L2s exist at many hotels in rural areas...but if you run into a broken L2 or they're all taken you'll be in for a bad time. I'm confident I can make BEV work...

    I'm going to try to gas light myself about batteries and range

    I've mentioned this before but there's a very simple exercise you can do to determine what your life will be like with BEV...look at your gas station receipts online (bank, credit card, etc.). Over the last two years, how many fill ups did you do at the same local gas station? How many were...

    On a similar note, while in Brazil a couple weeks ago I saw a fair number of RAM Rampages on the road, which appeared to be a midsize Ranger/Tacoma type truck although I believe it's unibody vs BOF. I don't think this exact vehicle will be coming here, but it gives you an idea. One detail I...

    Maybe other areas are different, but where I'm at peak hours are 4-9PM weekdays which is pretty easy to remember so we just schedule accordingly. That said, having to just plug in the car when you get home and not think about rate structures at all is a nice feature to have running in the...

    An Appreciation Post for Jamie

    Just remembered that time when Len Hunt, CEO of VWoA, joined the vwvortex forums and started posting in threads ragging on VW...as is tradition. :LOL:

    I just got back from a week in Brazil and was amazed at the number of BYDs on the road along with other Chinese brands. I've been reading about how the LATAM market is slowly being taken over by the Chinese and yup, it's happening. No conspiracy either, just quality looking cars with a...

    Ineos had to stop production because their supplier for seats, world famous Recaro, went bankrupt. Not Ineos' fault, however established automakers probably faired better since they could switch to one of their many other suppliers vs just having 1 company for all their seats. Advantage Scout on...

    Actually a valid point. New car from a new company building new supply chains for a car designed to go into places where damage happens. Couple that with typical first model year problems and the potential for having a bad time is real.

    As long as the dealership chargers aren't in an area that's locked afterhours and their sales people leave those sitting ducks alone while charging this is a good thing, but then again I want fast chargers everywhere.

    Taking bets on the new color of the Traveler Concept to be seen soon...

    Got it. Well in that case I predict Chinchilla Green aka the green I proposed in the color thread that eventually made it's way into an official rendering.
