  • 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.

    12v Battery: Not an afterthought

    Reviving an old thread to comment on a 12v battery issue I'm going through right now, and how important it is for Scout to get this right. First off, I absolutely agree that it has to be easily accessible in order to "jump" the car. There are so many things that rely on the 12v working, and in...

    Software Features

    Some of these are absolute necessities for modern cars, and I'm sure Scout will include them. Stuff like - OTA - Driver profiles - Misc safety features you listed (especially for a larger vehicle) - Battery preconditioning - Keep accessory power on/Camp mode (considering how many of us want to...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    In theory yes, and it was the first EREV I was excited about. But I mentioned earlier I tried uconnect and hated it, and in general the ram is 2x more than I need in every way. Plus Stellantis, as you said. I'm not convinced they can execute a good EV, especially after the Dodge Charger EV

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Well, the important thing is that a 5k towing limit for the Terra EREV is not quite confirmed yet. once official specs hit I'm very curious to see both what they are and how the forums react... And I totally agree that one size fits all will have compromises. For one, dailying a truck will make...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    That's the key thing though - we know that generally there are perfectly adequate trucks that can tow and there are perfectly adequate EVs that can daily. The main attraction of the Terra EREV for me is that it just might be able to do both sufficiently well. I don't want to take care of two...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Bit late to the party but I'll go ahead and answer the original question that started this thread. I reserved the EREV Terra, and I currently own a full EV. It's a 2021 Polestar 2 that gets 200 miles of range on a full charge even on its best day. Usually I'm charging to 90% and getting 180...

    Harvester towing

    Yeah anything >= 7k would be absolutely perfect! I did comment earlier in this very thread that "The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on a reservation is the unconfirmed towing capacity of the harvester models." I thought about it a while and decided to speak with my wallet and...

    Harvester towing

    It really seems like us tow-wanters are classified as a niche group, but surely we are not that small. I own an EV already, so I have absolutely no reason to migrate platforms unless I can gain access to long distance drives and pull my track car along the way. EREVs are the perfect compromise...

    Cold Climate Auxiliary Heat From Harvester ICE

    Packaging will definitely be tough with everything they're trying to fit in there... Gas tank, engine, rear tire, and a useable truck bed all while maintaining sufficient ground clearance. That's why I assumed the radiator would be near the front, even with longer cooling lines. You're likely...

    Cold Climate Auxiliary Heat From Harvester ICE

    Looking to revive an older thread as I had the exact same thought. Having the harvester running just to charge the batteries which would then immediately discharge that back into an electric heater just seems like such a waste. Battery heating for charging aside - just maintaining cabin...

    What are you driving until release?

    2021 Polestar 2 It does everything I want except towing.. The Terra will hopefully be the all in one forever-vehicle

    Harvester towing

    Thanks for having me! I'm really excited about Scout and will be following development closely. Outside of towing (which is just unconfirmed), everything I do know about this company and these cars sounds absolutely perfect.

    Harvester towing

    Just adding another data point for the wonderful scout employees who check these threads for feedback. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on a reservation is the unconfirmed towing capacity of the harvester models. I need to be able to tow a 3600 lbs car quite often. Uhaul...
