  • 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!

    Same here. Even if I don't plan on selling, knowing the resale, does provide a sort of "safety net" for me. It might just be psychological for me. But I do like knowing that "if" I needed/wanted to, I'm not in a horrible position. I did just buy a new EV though (not lease). I know that...

    FWIW, I think you’ll get more time between firing up the generator than you think. My PHEV can only go about 30 miles on a charge. But most of our ”typical” destinations are more like 5-10 miles away. And during the summer we can go months without firing up the gas engine. We did ~2200 miles...

    Harvester Option

    We've had a PHEV for almost 4 years now, and we've loved it. It really is a great onramp to what driving an electric vehicle could be like. One 10,000 mile stint, we averaged 226mpg! (of course that was the year with no big road trips. Other years we've managed more like 60-80mpg). We've also...

    Harvester Option

    Indeed it was. Funny fact. When my wife and I were engaged/newly married, I always joked with her/our other friends that "whenever we have kids, I don't want some girly diaper bag... I want a cool one, like the Yoda Backpack" (the one that thinkgeek made). So... one day I got a gift from my...

    Harvester Option

    Yeah, the intestine pattern interior is icing on the cake. Its glorious. Not sure if you're into reading, but the Thrawn Trillogy by Timothy Zahn ( I have softback, and hardcover editions of this, and am sooo sad they didn't make this episodes 7/8/9), and "I Jedi" by Michael A Stackpole (If you...

    Harvester Option

    Q: What is the internal temperature of a Tauntaun? A: "Luke warm" (Sorry, I had to, someone texted me this today, and it gave me a giggle. I used to be a HUGE Star Wars fan, until Disney destroyed it). And reminded me of the most hilarious piece of Star Wars merch. The Tauntaun...

    Scout Badges/Patches

    I'd imagine that digital badges would be more like "videogame achievements". IE, you don't have to "do" anything (manual) to do them, you just get them when you do the requirement. And with GPS built in/onboard, it would be pretty easy to do something like "your vehicle entered the GPS...

    Long distance EV towing video

    Agreed. Regular long distance towing is pretty uncommon. And the people that do it regularly, know what they need. And its not often a normal light duty truck. So its interesting to see how it went, but I'd also guess that "most" people wouldn't do that often, if ever. I used to tow frequently...

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

    FWIW, the Hyundai EV's (at least the ones I've been in) all feature an on/off button. Which means opening/closing the door won't turn anything on. But the app does allow you to have multiple presets for different climate remote start settings. So I have one for winter, one for summer, etc. And...

    Captain Chairs

    A removeable 20% could be interesting. Especially if that 20% could be moved and stored in the frunk (or the garage when you're sure you won't need it). The Honda pilot has something similar actually.

    Legroom

    Thats what I'm hoping for! Although my response to the OP was a bit tongue in cheek, I am quite interested to see what all of the final specifications/measurements turn out to be. But it does look promising. Like I said, its in a bit of a unique spot, dimensions wise.

    Legroom

    I also am interested in legroom. And hip room. Oh, and cargo room. All the interior measurements really. IMO the Traveler is potentially in a really interesting spot. Its short in length (vaguely similar to the Toyota Highlander/4 door Bronco), but comparatively wide in body (basically full...

    Sorry, I'm good at opinions :). Maybe I just need to say them quieter :P.

    FB find of the day

    Uh.. As much as I like Scout, and the Traveler. This... is IMO, a miss on the marketing front. People buy vans because they fit people. Minivans fit ~7-8 people, and usually 6 people in comfort. Full size vans even more. The Scouts will fit 5-6 people, but typically the front middle position...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    What if the gift, is actually just some magnetic vinyl stickers, and no instructions. And they ship more of them to you over time. And, the stickers are actually just a private URL to the configurator, and its like, a puzzle that is supposed to take us 2yrs to complete, because its a...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I don’t know. I’m thinking it’s still pretty early to be receiving any Christmas gifts from Scout. I mean Christmas isn’t for like another 11 months. They’ve got plenty of time to get it out. Heck, I’m Lucky if I start my Christmas shopping before thanksgiving!

    Snowstorm 2026

    Maybe thats why I still like it, I haven't really ever "lived" in it for long :D. I was in Denver in 2007(?) when they got 35-42in in ~36hrs, and freaking loved it. And a few years back my father wanted to get snowed in at his family cabin. So a brother-in law and I went to go with him, and got...

    Snowstorm 2026

    I know this might sound weird. But I'm low key bummed we haven't had anything. So, just stepping in to say I love all the photos. I'm a snow person by heart, but haven't really lived in it for much of my life. But of course, stay safe/warm everyone. (I'm in the PNW, and we've had a warm, and...

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

    Unrelated, sort of. I don't think my Ioniq 9 has a "hold" feature. But it does have a start/stop button. It does start to "scream" (electronic beeps/frustration) if the key is removed from the vehicle when it is on. But its easy to turn on, throw the key in the console, and go back inside to...
