  • 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.

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    If this happened I would absolutely feel a way about it! Doubling the range and charging in half the time in 2 years is a major leap! It's a much bigger timeframe, but that's almost exactly what you're looking at when you compare a Model S from 2012 to present. Larger battery, huge range jump...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    I wouldn't use the word concern, but I definitely consider deprecation when buying a vehicle. No matter how much I love a car, at some point I'm going to move on to something different, and there's always hope to at least recoup some degree of the cost when that time comes. In an ideal world...

    Jamie Vondruska On With ROMR

    Really great episode. I loved the connective tissue Jamie and Brian were able to pull out to show that the entire premise behind Scout Motors leans so strongly into community and legacy instead of just "leveraging a brand name to sell cars" Really doing a good job convincing me to switch back...

    I can guarantee you the exterior of that vehicle is going to be hideous. Which is unfortunate!

    Who is ticking the same boxes as the Traveler? Where are my EV adventure vehicle options!!!

    This article is titled as a hit piece but goes on to show that Scout/VW increased their investment as the scope of the project increased? And the scrutiny is the previously-discussed shortsightedness of SC government.

    Electrall is fun, but I'm not sure if SM could use it because it appears to still be a part of the International Harvester brand (though unused), which is currently owned by CNH/Case IH.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Mine was a $1500 add on when I bought my car (and required a second fob for some reason). Figured I'd go aftermarket eventually for a fraction of the price (and only one fob needed!) but have never gotten around to it. Maybe this is the year!

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    Based on the ongoing legal stuff I'd assume they're trying to stay as far away as possible from being classified as a hybrid despite the gas generator.

    left the window cracked last night in my car, would love to be able to put them up, halfway, and all the way down remotely! 🥶

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    Yeah I guess it really depends what the experience entails, not sure you'd want to have a track or course where there's a real chance of that happening.

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    I go back and forth on it but I think I'd rather "beat the shit" out of my own car. As a few others have said, I'd rather have the warning light come on or identify an issue/something missing on my own vehicle while its still under the purview of Scout than find out about it when I'm already on...

    I think about this a lot, but in 2020 I was up for a job that was a pretty big promotion/advanced commute. If I landed it I was going to buy a Model S to help ease all of that and kind of a treat-yourself moment. Didn't get the job, thankfully. The entire department was laid off a year and a...

    This would probably circle us back to the phone, or at least some in depth programming via the screen, but it would be cool if you could set some advanced routines. Weather: Sunny Temperature: 76 Location: Driveway Start Vehicle -> Open Windows Weather: Rain Temperature: 81 Location: Garage...

    Sounds like the state kinda shot themselves in the foot by agreeing to the aggressive schedule without having done all the groundwork, and then once the groundwork started they didn't account for $ being spent for being idle. This isn't really on Scout since they would have run into the same...
