  • 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 scout stake pockets

    We always just called them holes honestly, and used them for tie downs and rope, once for a flag pole in a parade. I got “post holes” from Jay Leno, I can’t recall which video but was either scout, Tello, or slate because it was a fresh term in my mind

    The scout stake pockets

    Like the “post holes” on the top sides of most “normal” truck beds?

    Regenerative braking

    The highest level of regen I’ve seen in my car has been 107 but that was while going down an incredibly steep offramp using both the brake pedal and Regen on demand in one pedal drive, so it only stayed that high for a couple of seconds because the exit kind of snuck up on me. My highest regen...

    Regenerative braking

    Not sure if anyone needs to be this example, but just in case it might be of use to someone not familiar with EVs I took three photos 1. One Pedal on, accelerating 2. One Pedal Off, still accelerating 3. One Pedal Off, foot of the accelerator coasting, no breaks but active regen With one pedal...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    This randomly lines itself into my auto play while on the road today, some of it was a little hard to listen to as I try to actively avoid politics, but some things RJ said were good to hear if nothing else

    Center Screen

    I wouldn’t say confirmation, but in one of the interviews I watched I don’t remember which one the person going over the interior was talking about the line of sight from the driver seat and how a HUD would just get in the way or something like that 🤷 I don’t remember the specifics since I saw...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I doubt the gift would be a jacket or shirt, unless there’s a “shirt size” in the info section under my adress I forgot about

    Regenerative braking

    The only times I’ve made people feel nauseous in my car is when it’s been a long day and I drive the way I used to drive my charger but sometimes sport mode is just fun

    Center Screen

    The only feature that I’ve heard isn’t going to be a thing that I would’ve liked would be a HUD but that’s definitely not a dealbreaker

    Regenerative braking

    My Bolt has them separated but again if your causing people to be motion sick I think that falls on the driver, I love one pedal and have never made anyone sick and these people have been sick in our volt. Smooth movement is all it takes 🤷 and with one pedal off, the car should always be...

    EREV initial release only?

    I’m willing to wait, I don’t like the idea of having to deal with an engine again, my issue stems from not having a truck and I hate renting, my father won’t let me borrow his truck because he’s afraid it can’t make it all the way to my house, so when we bought a bunch of bricks in the summer...

    I love those vans, my old facility just got some Chevy Brightdrops. I wish I had the opportunity to drive one, but electric vans are very nice

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Once Scouts are verified they need to take the EV and Harvester to make one of those commercials (GM pulling a plane, Ford a Train, Toyota a space shuttle) that’s how Americans will understand towing, things on wheels they can’t fully comprehend the weight of!

    Regenerative braking

    In my experience Regen should be no different than your breaking you slowly let off the accelerator at decent distance and the car will slowly come to a halt, no different than removing your foot from the gas and slowly applying the brake, which in my experience is what you do to help ease those...

    Regenerative braking

    I’ve never suffered car sickness, but I have a friend that does, along with my mother, and neither of them have had issues with my cars Regen while I drive

    EREV initial release only?

    I too am willing to wait, I just don’t think I’d have the patience if EREVs were being produced for the market while reservation holders are still waiting for their trucks

    EREV initial release only?

    They've said BEV is still going to be made, and will be produced at the same time as EREV just in lower amounts and the traveler will likely be prioritized

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    I did say most 😂 but it's largely true, they made crowd that loves loud V8s with commercials full of smoke and middle fingers, then instead of a slow introduction to EV they killed the challenger, resigned the charger (which I dont hate as much as I thought I would) and brought it out as a BEV...

    EREV initial release only?

    Exactly, and while I don't think it's been intentional, it seems like the harvester is largely the only one being talked about. Not just overshadowing the BEV, but in a way where it starts to feel like the harvester is the only one that exists. That's obviously not the case, but it feels like...
