  • 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.

    Yes, just saw the SOC video. My comment there was: “I’d never heard of an EREV until Scout announced theirs. Now there seems to be one under every rock.”

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    Starting to rethink my position on this one. A hands-free where I still need to keep a finger on the wheel and eyes watching would be ok with me I think. Pretty sure I would only use it on divided highways.

    Cruise Control Following Distance (and other assists)

    We have it on our Avalon. Wasn’t sure about it at first but I do like it and use it. It’s brought me up short a couple of times when I needed it. The headlight brights are adaptive too, and they work ok. Cant turn on hi beams permanently though.

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

    IIRC Scott said something about 50K production the first year or two. My reservation was in May and there were about 60K at the time already, which means my que spot is probably a year out from initial production. Not a problem for me really. That affords a little more time to save up

    I’d like to see the existing tire carrier back there.

    I like the pearlescent metallic white I’ve seen on some Cadillac’s.

    If I couldn’t get the metallic yellow, I’d have a hard time choosing between Pacific Mist, the metallic orange, and the deep red metallic. I like the peach (it would have to be metallic) rendering you did for me earlier too. And I have names for them as well. Pacific Mist = BABE Metallic...

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

    It actually depends on how much you can keep your drool factor in check when ordering.

    No apology necessary. I’ve seen his name spelled several ways, but “Geisel” is the most common. My last name is Giesel… we claim him.

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

    @tomgillotti I appreciate your desire for a $45K Scout. I would love that too, but I don’t think it will happen. What you have not factored into your thinking (as I see it) is the cost of labor. Having been self-employed twice—and failed miserably—I submit that the single, biggest expense in...

    Again, i don’t see how these laws survive an anti-trust challenge at SCOTUS.

    That’s the first time I’ve seen anything about rear wheel steering… not buying (believing) it.
