  • 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.

    This just reminded me of something else that grinds my gears in both of our cars. In my subaru, I can't open the fuel door without pulling a physical switch to unlock it. I've had my car for like 8 years and still forget half the time. Annoying! In the Volvo, its the usual push-to-open system...

    Trying to flip an aux switch to control your winch with muddy hands but it's buried in 4 touchscreen menus.

    Center Screen

    I love the rectangular screen, it gives really clean lines across the entirety of the dash which a lot of cars love to break up now. As far as HUD, for me it really depends on the implementation. I don't have experience with the more involved ones that show maps and such, I think I'd find that...

    A few years ago the concept didn't bother me as much as it does now. I love our Volvo, its a great drive, super comfortable, blah blah. But the lack of physicality in its interface drives me nuts when it comes to things like changing the temp/airflow or switching the display. It's evangelized me...

    my R2 reservation is truly hanging on by a thread despite how nice it looks.

    But what if we develop a coal-based charging solution... 🤔

    Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

    the backpack stove is going to be a hit for my tailgating adventures

    Unfortunately my interest level in talking to my car to do things is even lower than using a touchscreen. We have it in our Volvo and I've used it maybe a handful of times and most of those are to just show someone how it works.

    It does! From pictures when shown from an angle it always looks "standard" to me so understanding the actual scale has always been challenging. I also see tons of Broncos around here so daydream about it a lot lol.

    As someone who's seen it up close, is the difference noticeable?

    I keep forgetting how much bigger it is (allegedly) than the bronco

    This thread has been great to reinforce my long standing policy of never buying a Toyota.

    Try before you buy?

    Rivian has a lot of test drive events for their cars, but it's really tough (at least in my area) to book an appointment. If/when Scout does this I'd love to, selfishly, have reservation holders be able to line jump.

    Regenerative braking

    Stumbled into this thread and am now really interested by it. How widespread is "car sickness" with drivers with this kind of braking? I have a really difficult time with motion sickness unless I am the one driving (its super fun on planes and trains), but admittedly don't have any tangible EV...

    Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east.

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    One of the things that scares me the most on the road today is having a tesla come into my field of vision. We have a LOT of teslas in our area and many of them are driven by "new" drivers. They have a very minimal ability to function if the car isn't doing everything for them, and...

    The first time I saw it I was like "wow I love that blue" Go to look it up and find out its actually gray. My wife: "See! I told you you only buy gray cars!"

    I guess it depends on what your expectation of variance is, especially with all the swings in the market recently. If their stock was something like this I'd be way more concerned!

    Both the Rivian and Bronco have similar blues (I think the bronco is Azure?) and I really love both of them, would jump all over it if something similar ended up on a Scout.

    I'd say that Rivian's stock price has been pretty stable for a bit now, its just really low compared to where they started. R2 would hopefully reverse that.
