  • 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.

    The number one thing the government can do to encourage fuel efficiency is to raise the taxes on fuel. But no one has the guts to do that because it affects everyone and will result in massive backlash. Any time there's a gas crisis or a huge spike in the price of fuel, fuel efficient cars go up...

    I don't see how it makes cars cheaper unless they're implying that automakers wouldn't be spending as much money on technology to develop more fuel efficient engines. It certainly does require large investment to meet future emissions and fuel economy standards. But I don't see those savings as...

    What a prejudiced article. If you want a fuel efficient vehicle you can buy one. They're not going anywhere. The author should be embarrassed.

    Coming home on Thanksgiving. The roads were clear 6 hours earlier. A 60-mile journey took 100 minutes.

    I meant the Traveller looked like cheesy CGI. The message and intent are great.

    We all have concerns, but I try not to worry about things I have no control over. Could VW "claim" Blythewood and build Audis and Porsches there? Sure. We would hear rumors about that well before an official announcement from VW or Scout is made. Jamie is a great guy, but he works for Scout...

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    Tesla made a huge investment in Texas and they're still not allowed to sell direct to consumer. Dealer franchise laws are a tough nut to crack. They have a lot of influence.

    Unless their laws have recently changed, none of those three states you mentioned allow direct to consumer sales.

    It's going to get worse without more consumer protections. Gigacasting saves Tesla money, and every other automaker is exploring it. Toyota is already beginning to use it. https://www.toyota-europe.com/news/2023/transforming-the-future-of-cars-and-car-manufacturing
