  • 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.

    What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

    Dog mode or camp mode keeps power on after driver leaves. Dog mode is just keeping climate on and a big sign on screen with interior temperature. Camp mode lets media and climate to stay on until battery reduces to a certain level.

    What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

    No, there’s nothing to turn on or off. Fob would just be to unlock doors or pop frunk open. But that’s the feature I don’t want. No fob. Just phone app and a credit card backup to unlock door.

    Infrequent drivers - Charge every day?

    Oh yikes. Is there a nighttime off peak rate? Most EVs let you schedule charging start time. Otherwise, I’d hunt down a grocery store/restaurant/mall with a free charger and top off while eating! It’s nice when employers have free chargers on site. My city hall has a charger. I hope you can...

    What is More Important? - EV Charge Time or EV Range

    Buyer education is key. I can only speak for my observations for Tesla EVs (though I gotta think it’s similar for other OEMs) that new drivers see a mileage estimate, as example, my car is 402 miles) and think that’s gospel. They freak when there car starts telling them they can expect 356 or...

    Please, No Free Fast Charging Credits

    Wow, had no idea folks would drive to Ushuaia. It’s such a weird little town with its Swiss alps looking shops.

    Infrequent drivers - Charge every day?

    First question…. I stay plugged in and charge to 80%. A 110V is awesome for low use rates. The faster you charge the more heat that is generated so slow charging is awesome when you don’t need to charge quickly. We don’t know Scout specs yet but it seems like a fair number of EVs get 2-3...

    Offer it with a gas motor

    I’d have thought class D fire agents and/or foam would do the trick but I don’t know. I wouldn’t go through the trouble though in an open space…just let it burn out. The few fires I’m aware of were post cataclysmic accident as opposed to garage. Guy in Woodlands drinking and hit a tree at...

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

    Yeah, and the LiDAR was better. My 3 had it…it could see through horrendous rainstorms where I visually couldn’t see road markings, etc… the camera update was a rude change. Even now the cameras don’t do everything promised. One of the advertised perks were that it’d see speed signs, even...

    Offer it with a gas motor

    I have a fun story…guess who is a strong supporter of EVs? The US coal producers/power plant operators. My condo association were having kittens about my electric charger, in my private garage, that I was paying for. I talked to my local legislator and he introduced a bill in very red North...

    Offer it with a gas motor

    If you ever visit Luray Caverns in Virginia they have a lovely collection of turn of the century electric cars, including several Baker Electrics. They were frequently outfitted with floral patterned seats because they were widely used by ladies (easier for us to handle than horses apparently lol).

    Offer it with a gas motor

    I kinda look cute with a bun…. EV fires burn hot but are less frequent than liquid fuel fires. NFPA is a good resource for fighting EV fires.

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

    I like it! But wouldn’t the Ducati dealer just want to be the dealer? I’m assuming their contract has a regional clause?

    Scout Partner with Carmax for Delivery?

    It’s just a matter of wiring the money (or finance company) to a neutral state and then car gets delivered to house or showroom.

    I’d love to meet folks IRL. I’m hoping to be able to see details, etc. Flying in from Fargo.

    Yay!

    I debated whether or not to post this

    You’re going to be Mr Popular asking Discount Tire to order track rubber, lol. But if you use Bobcat (or whoever) track loader parts for your modification you at least have off the shelf parts.
