  • 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.

    Cheap(er) gas and newer cities are the main differences. Raise our gas taxes to the level of the EU and we would see more EV's and sales of smaller cars. Too many in this country are preoccupied with "keeping up with the Joneses". We complain a lot about the the average price of a car now is...

    Improved battery tech will open the floodgates for fun small cars here. The Europeans have some really cool retro EV's: Renault R4, R5, and Twingo are killing it. The Fiat Grande Panda, too. A 21st-century Citroen 2CV is coming. I wish the USA had a history of great small cars. I don't...

    Im glad you enjoy their product and have faith in them. I have nothing against them. I do have a reasonable understanding of how the auto industry works and that it can take years to turn a profit. I certainly don't wish them to fail. I was hoping for a little more differentiation in the...

    I still think they'd be better off designing software and licensing their zonal electrical architecture for other automakers like they're doing for VW. That is Rivian's strength. They've said Ford has expressed interest. There are many automakers large and small that could benefit from this...

    I wouldn't say they're doing great. They made $154 million gross profit from software (VW) and lost $130 million in automotive gross profit. VW is keeping them afloat. They'd be far more successful if they stopped making cars.

    ECARX is a software and tech company, not a carmaker. And it doesn't matter who owns a carmaker, it matters where the cars are made. Buicks and Lincolns made in China have import tariffs when sold here. Geely-owned Volvos and Polestar made in South Carolina avoid the tariffs (except for their...

    You are Mr. doom and gloom. Your passive-aggressive frunk comment is obvious. You constantly complain in your posts, often about things that can't be changed. I'm glad someone finally called you out.

    FB find of the day

    I can't believe someone complains that it's outside where it can be viewed for free instead of inside where you have to pay to get in. I'm surprised someone hasn't complained that it's not submersible like James Bond's Lotus Esprit.

    Can't say I blame them. If Ford loses money on every one they make and there are no fines for CAFE violations, then it makes sense to invest their money in research and designing EVs that will be profitable.
