  • 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.

    Higher Range

    I'm thinking (for the Terra since that's what I'm going for) it'll be around 2.0 mi/kWh which is why I'm hoping for a 150 kWh battery to get a real world 300 miles.

    Higher Range

    I'm good with real world 300 miles with mostly highway driving (around town should be higher). I just think they will need 150 kWh usable battery to be able to get there. I haven't checked recently but I thought it said around 120 or 130 kWh size for the 350 range which I'm a little skeptical on.

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

    That alone is enough for me to keep with BEV, not even counting the extra maintenance on the Harvester. I'm probably going to be doing 20k miles a year when I get mine so that will add up to some decent cost savings.

    R2 Launch Watch

    See I'm the opposite, from my first car in 2005 until I bought my first EV in 2022, I had 13 cars in 17 years, and since 2022 I haven't changed since the EV keeps getting software updates and still feels like I'm getting new things. I am getting itchy feet though, but I'm trying to hold out...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I like the R2 overall, the only things that are an issue for me is the 400v charging, it just seems a little slow compared to other competitors these days. The other thing for me, is I would probably look at the Premium trim if I were to ever consider getting one, and the paint options just seem...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I have a similar thought process. If on a long road trip you spend a couple of hours extra charging, how much time for the rest of the year when you are charging from home and not having to fill up with gas at all do you save in time. We do quite a lot of miles locally that is easily within the...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Mine is a Terra, I’m sure when the actual vehicle release comes we’ll be the other way round lol.

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I got mine at the start of this week, not sure where I'm going to put it yet so it lives in the envelope for now.

    Dog Friendly Features

    I would definitely use it in mine with all the dog hair and other stuff that is likely to accumulate.

    Apreesh for the destination charger

    The other thing is, aside from the actual installation cost, it probably isn't that expensive. A grocery store near me has free chargers with a 2 hour limit. I'm usually in and out way quicker than that, but even with 2 hours it's costing under $0.40 for a 2 hour charge on electric rates around...

    Are you OK with Scout vehicles starting under $60K?

    Same on the tracked vehicle, you can see the rear wheel on the other side, so it just has the tracks on one side of the vehicle which might not work too well.

    Initial Production Release

    For sure, I want a lot of good testing and good quality control once customer production starts.

    Are you OK with Scout vehicles starting under $60K?

    I have no idea who this is either, I have ignored 2 people on this forum in total so I'm assuming they are possibly one of them.

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    I think I'd want a factory tour and then an opportunity to have a go on the off road course, maybe gently if it's my own new truck and if the have a demo you can use instead then maybe a harder run.

    Scout Patents

    I was thinking maybe it would have a special scented air freshener that would come out the vents when in baby changing mode lol.

    Pets of Scout Motors

    In addition to Fozzie (our Giant Schnauzer), we also have Moo Moo who is a 13 year old Cocker Spaniel, and we recently got Pebbles the Golden Retriever who turned 12 weeks old yesterday.

    Preparing an EV for a winter storm...

    Traffic wasn't too bad when we there last year, it was the week before the ice festival so I think it was a little quieter since most were probably coming the following week. I think the most snow when we were there was 8" in one day. The coldest it got to was around a feels like of -34.
