  • 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 initial release only?

    Ironically, $100 gets wasted the fastest in $1 increments.

    EREV initial release only?

    Yep. People should just chill and enjoy the ride (no pun). Instead, people should overreact to internet forums that deal with important issues - like college football. Wild guess is that EREV development lags BEV, so launch was going to be BEV-only followed by EREV maybe a year later (?)...

    EREV initial release only?

    Honestly rumors & speculation don't bother me - part of the joy coming from following automotive industry (never worked a day anywhere near it). That's a big factory complex happening in SC, its not going to just end. If BEV is delayed, its delayed. Some can't wait, some can be flexible to...

    EREV initial release only?

    Honestly deleting speculative threads seems a bit overbearing and thought-control-ish. Threads that contain offensive personal attacks or really bad dad jokes are another matter. From a business perspective BEV makes plausible sense even though I'd rather not see it happen. But given the...

    September 2025 Scout Motors Factory Update

    Oh I get it. I was trying to imply something much more sinister behind that system-migration delay... was way too subtle reference to rumored BEV delay...

    Ev Delay

    I've seen enough "nothing has been decided yet" quotes in my professional lifetime which lead me to believe me BEV delay is a done deal. Wild guess is EREV in late-2027 for MY28 only if its catch-up development is far enough along, otherwise MY29? Best case BEV maybe MY29-30? For us it just...

    September 2025 Scout Motors Factory Update

    Transplanting this question from elsewhere, where it was dutifully ignored... Finally got motivated enough to post - XenForo seems like a really crude forum platform for Scout to use. Fora seems much sleeker, any reason not to use that instead for a forward-looking firm...

    Anticipated production start has already been delayed once, from 2026 to 2027. Suppose it could happen again, w/ one or both powertrains. "Production is scheduled to kick off in 2026, with the Scout vehicles set to be built in a new $2 billion factory in Blythewood, South Carolina, dedicated...

    This suggests the opposite. Given it cites VW troubles this wouldn't totally surprise me - https://www.theautopian.com/scout-to-reportedly-build-hybrid-trucks-first/

    Forum platform - XenForo vs. Fora?

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Has anyone seen an image of Traveler in Silo? Been looking around here but don't see it - could one of the resident wizards here create it or post a link if its already been done?

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    Of the four concept colors (assuming any/all are actually offered) plus black, white, silver, gray - I'd go with Silo. But would also like to see lighter colors - e.g. Buckskin, Elk, some other primary color derivative that I can't quite recall, etc.

    Scout Motors announces in-vehicle satellite connectivity and highlights Scout Community UX interface at CES 2025

    I'd like to see permanent exterior install of the receiver but w/ the more streamlined rack. Perhaps shoot the gap between hatch opening and rear edge of cabana roof? I certainly don't need satellite, but if the install is permanent and relatively clean then I'd probably get it just...
