  • 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.

    Terra - Roof Top Option

    this is what the roof of my car looks like- the small one opens and the big one doesn't. I've been through some nasty hailstorms and it made it through ok (the sound was terrifying though, I'll be honest)

    3rd Vehicle More Similar to OG Scout 80

    Mine is a graphic designer in a tiny, tiny market! Which unfortunately means I have to tell myself no 😔

    What will you typical cargo look like in your Scout?

    I went and measured- if an 8 foot 2x4 is up against the tailgate, it comes about 21 inches from the dashboard. I got it because I used to do craft and jewelry shows and had to be able to carry around 8 ft tables for my booth. It has been awesome.

    What will you typical cargo look like in your Scout?

    They aren't that different in size. The Flex is 201 inches long and the Scout is 190 (no info on the inside dimensions though). If I can lay the front passenger seat down still (and the ones in back too), then I will probably still be able to fit most everything I need to carry. I don't get the...

    What will you typical cargo look like in your Scout?

    today I got a bunch of 8 foot 2x4s and it is very nice being able to fit them in the Flex easily. I have found I can even get 10 foot ones in if I lay down the front passenger seat and angle them. Definitely want to be able to do that in the Scout!

    I saw that too. No brake lights but I don’t know if that’s because the car was malfunctioning or because he wasn’t trying anymore. Several people seemed to think it was either him panicking and using the accelerator instead of the brake or it was a scam which seems absolutely nuts to me. I’m...

    Three thoughts here 1) how does the interior conquer terrain? 2) that vibration mode is going to be used for a lot more than shaking off sand 3) how is it considered all-terrain? Maybe if it flies…

    July 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    unfortunately it doesn't seem like any of those prices are available in NC. The Prologue is $219 with $3699 due at signing here. The ID.4 is $209 with $4499 due. And the Ioniq 5 is $199 with $3999 due. I did find a 2025 Toyota bZ4X for $229 with nothing due at signing. But with the difference...

    July 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    I’ve been looking at the EV leases since they are so low right now. Wanted to compare costs with potential repairs just in case my car doesn’t make it until the Scouts come out. I’d love to try it but I think between the limited mileage allowed in the lease and increased insurance costs, I’m...

    Rust prevention

    They can scrape a small sample of original Scout Rust (TM) into tiny bottles and that’s what each of the initial production run Scouts come with as a special item.

    The exhaust part I don’t know anything about. But he was also saying that the salt water wouldn’t do that to the EV.

    Must haves to purchase…

    I’m in both positions. Late career but only two years as a fed. Highly precarious and not easily transferred to other jobs. My two contractor friends are much younger and had both hoped to become feds. And then we had people who are eligible for retirement but wanted to stay and continue to...

    I think a big part of the hate for the Mustang EV is that it’s an SUV. So many people felt betrayed that they took the sports car name and heritage and did that with it. I saw lots of people saying if they had named it almost anything else they’d have been fine with it and possibly bought one...

    My brain went immediately to the “any color you want as long as it’s black” quote. Probably not what they were hoping for either
