  • 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.

    EREV isn't new tech. I don't think Scout has to worry. The Chinese market Bronco will be offered as an EREV.

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

    The standard features and option pricing will determine how Scout's value is perceived. If 70-80% of buyers want the Harvester and it's a $5,000 option, then for all intents and purposes, Scout is a $65k vehicle. Working in our favor are direct-to-consumer sales. If you want the cheapest...

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

    200,000 units from Blythewood is the most quoted number I have seen.

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

    Everyone is wasting their time with this back-and-forth arguing. OP thinks Scout should be $45k, and Scout says that's not a realistic price point. Agree to disagree and move on.

    My notes on the interview: 1) It's great to hear Chris's story and what led him to Scout. He is definitely a major asset. 2) When the Harvester was decided, it could not impact ground clearance, breakover angle, or interior storage. 3) The Terra gives up the spare tire space for the Harvester...
