  • 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.

    Preparing an EV for a winter storm...

    I'm heading from PA to Quebec City and Montreal in 2 weeks so I'm imagining I'll probably be dealing with a bit of snow and cold on that trip. Hopefully not quite as cold as last year but we'll see. I enjoy driving in the snow, it's just the other drivers that are the concern, but it seems to be...

    Schnauzers of Scout Motors

    Definitely not chocolate, although when I flew back to the UK the other year they did have some special doggy chocolate that was safe for dogs (I'm sure not made from real chocolate).

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

    I think it's probably a mixture of all of them, and if they can get a good user experience for the same or lower price then people will use that instead. I mainly use Tesla superchargers (I own a Tesla) since I can just plug in and start charging without doing anything, but if Ionna can get the...

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

    I’ve thought this would seem to be a fair way to do it as well. Remove gas tax and charge the same method for all vehicles. I don’t like the argument for weight on EVs because although my Tesla Model 3 is heavier than say a Toyota Corolla, it is still much lighter than a regular ICE F-150s or...

    Good idea, level 2 will be all you need there. Arrive with 1% and by the time you’re done in the DMV it’ll be nearly at 100%.

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    I've noticed this on my wife's Kia Telluride, depending on how we've been driving, sometimes I fill up and it says the range is 415 miles, other times it's around 375 miles. We just fill when it's getting low, but when EVs do the same thing a lot of people comment on that or get worried about...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    I never have the range in miles displayed on mine, only the battery percentage. I find miles of range changes so much based on driving, I prefer to just see the percentage and I can figure out in my head when/if I'll need to charge based on that.

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year! 🎆 I’m looking forward to seeing all the progress Scout Motors makes in 2026. I feel like it’s going to be a busy year!

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

    Exactly this, I have no problems paying the $99 for premium connectivity on my Tesla which gets me live traffic, remote camera access, and most importantly streaming which includes Spotify, Netflix, YouTube TV etc. It would be a big no like you say if it was for heated seats or something else...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    I’m not sure how destination chargers vary compared to Tesla Wall Connectors at home (if at all) but on mine I have 3 options for it: 1) Only my specific vehicle can charge on it. 2) All Tesla’s but no other vehicles can charge on it. 3) All EVs can charge on it. It could be they haven’t...

    Make steering wheel sportier

    Mine can do this as well, just stop and open the door and it auto parks and will turn off as I close the door and leave.

    Cruise Control Following Distance (and other assists)

    This is pretty much what I would want for hands free driving on interstates as well.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    I'm sure for quite a few people, technically owning any car might not be worth it from a purely financial standpoint. If you have a short commute or work from home, it might be cheaper to get a taxi/uber for short commutes and groceries and rent a car for the occasional long trip or truck when...

    EV reservation holders, would you consider the Harvester

    I'm down for the Terra EV and that is all I'm considering, if it was EREV only then it would be a no for me. I think a Rivian R1T would be a bit too small for my needs so I would have to see what is around in 2027/2028 if the Chevy/GMC are still full EV and if any others have hit the market at...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    No chance at that, it's shaped like a big brick. 2.5-3.0 in perfect conditions would be nice. I'm expecting it to be fairly close to the Lightning in terms of efficency, hopefully a little better, but nothing near those figures.

    Concern about the complexity and cost of repairs/maintenance for EREV

    That could also be a difference maker between EV only and EREV that I hadn't thought of. I wonder what the warranty will look like between the two. I assume they'll have the same battery warranty length/miles but I guess we'll see, and then what the warranty is like on the Harvester components...
