  • 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.

    I wouldn't be surprised. I was rear ended and my car was in the shop for 8 weeks getting it repaired and then less than a month later I was rear ended AGAIN with another 6 weeks in the shop. Finally get the car back and the cruise control doesn't work anymore (something got thrown off during...

    When I bought my Audi I test drove it and it had 11 miles on it. Came back the next weekday to sign everything and it had 194. The dealer had taken it to some “event” over the weekend and anything under 200 miles was still considered new. I bitched at them enough to get them to add an extra...

    What goodies have you gotten from a dealer/manufacturer after purchasing a car

    Way back in 2013 after purchasing an Audi Q5 I got tickets to the local premier of Iron Man 3. It was really cool, they had a bunch of upper-upper trim vehicles for people to check out and the whole theatre was shut down for the event.

    This is a big part of the fight Scout is waging and why they are distancing themselves in almost all aspects from being labeled a "VW Subsidiary"

    How much more would you pay for a Launch Edition Scout

    I think this is a pretty big value add. the Performance is a much more powerful vehicle, but by getting the launch you're also getting Autonomy+ ($2.5k value) and the tow package (I don't know if they put a price on that but I'd assume it was also $2k)

    I think the leasing should definitely move the needle for those of us who are waiting on Scouts and looking to potentially jump to another vehicle temporarily.

    How much more would you pay for a Launch Edition Scout

    The Internet is telling me its an extra $ but only available for launch models.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Not sure yet... there's a few Rivian things I don't love, and the launch edition trim isn't the one I would have picked. Plus the idea of having a car payment again isn't something I'm jumping through hoops for. But on the other hand, as I've gone from full time remote to daily commuter, the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I’ll be honest I may end up actually biting on my reservation at least at the Premium level (Performance feels a bit overkill to me).

    Pricing for the launch trim level is much better than I expected.

    I drive a 2019 Crosstrek with ~90k miles. (I've previously said 2018 because that's when I bought it but turns out I got the MY wrong!) I have a ~55 mile round trip commute 4-5 days a week + after school/weekend activities. It's not the family car. We have a Volvo XC90 that does all the heavy...

    I think it depends on timing and what the used market looks like in my area, but have been eyeing up a Volvo C40 or possibly an Ioniq. I'd jump on a F150 if I could convince my wife lol. Edit: forgot the ID4
