  • 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.

    It's a global vehicle, so I don't think they'll cancel it. They may prioritize distribution in other countries before the USA.

    I feel the same way about Volvo (and Lotus and Polestar, also Geely-owned). I'm also conflicted because I want Volvo to exist. Ford could have done a better job when they owned them. I'm still saddened that Saab isn't around anymore.

    This is why I don't complain about waiting 2+ years for a Scout. Plenty of time for the talented engineers to get it right. Customers should not be test pilots. Rushing product to market and relying on software updates to fix problems is not a good way to do business. It killed Fisker and...

    The USA didn't even get the Del Sol with the powered retractable roof. That was a cool piece of engineering!

    I just heard my first Scout Commercial on a podcast!

    I was listening to the most recent episode of the Bill Simmons podcast (9/22). He hosts a popular podcast about sports and occasionally pop culture. Towards the end of the episode there is a segment called Parent Corner. This week it was sponsored by Scout Motors! What a nice surprise!

    Oil pump

    I would love to see a dry sump oil system for increased ground clearance. If the Harvester uses the EA888 engine, I hope they don't use the composite oil pans like VW's.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    How Does Speed Affect EV Range? We took a blocky Kia EV9 and an aero-friendly Lucid Air to the test track at speeds between 35 and 95 mph to find out. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65490029/how-does-speed-affect-ev-range-tested/

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    That solution sounds like a nightmare. Too many car owners don't read the manual. People these days can't escape their cars when there's no power despite manual releases being present.

    It will definitely come to market. It's a hot segment. Whether it comes to market on schedule or is any good is subject to debate.

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

    Fun fact: Kool-Aid was not the beverage at Jonestown. It was Flavor Aid. Knowing that made it difficult for me to buy into the premise of The Studio TV show.

    Terra truck bed looks smaller now.

    It's the same truck as before. It was repainted. Perhaps the larger 37"s are throwing you off? Or a trip to the eye doctor may be in order.
