  • 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 Sunroof

    What do you mean by "Metal roof Fixed glass-base" vs. "Fixed glass roof - $995-$1,200" ? I understand electrochromic fixed glass is considered unlikely due to cost - can you speculate what that cost might be if offered? I'd likely pay the premium to get fixed glass + interior shading w/ no...

    December 2024 Production Center Update

    Great work! Clearly you missed your calling as a geospatial analyst. Below is closeup w/ red house & loop driveway. The posh Home2 Suites is just below the lower-left corner of the Hardee's icon in above image. I've just told wife that I've altered the deal for family's spring break road...

    December 2024 Production Center Update

    Thanks for info - so don't go as far west as Fulmer? South side of Blythewood Rd, between Montgomery Ridge and Syrup Mill? I didn't stalk my first any high school crush nearly this effectively.

    December 2024 Production Center Update

    Are the sights and house readily accessible for drive-by? Via Locklier Rd.? We'll pass nearby during spring break road trip, thinking photo opp w/ kids for comparison @ vehicle delivery when the time comes, etc. I've just booked an overnight at the nearby Home2 Suites for some delightful...

    Space saver spare in Traveler Frunk

    Formally announced? Not still just a maybe for them to think about? I'd be delighted for just 190" long but with a crapton of headroom.

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    I added to my post - "possibly alongside 267 Dulles toll road." So you'd have that going for you.

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    Scout HQ in Tysons Corner, VA and VW GoA HQ in Reston, VA. So my guess is N. VA location for DC area, hopefully near Metro station and/or possibly alongside 267 Dulles toll road.

    US Dealer Slaps $20,000 Markup On VW ID. Buzz

    VW dealers providing fresh evidence why Scout skipping them is a great idea. And I don't think markups on ID Buzz will last, few families will want to deal with design cues like this - "The Buzz perpetuates a maddening control that debuted on the VW ID 4: a driver’s-door gizmo that uses three...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Yeah this is essential for me - put the spare outside/underneath or inside/atop cargo floor. Need easy access to that split tailgate and save some space in garage. That said, if you get Harvester EREV then you might be stuck with the swinging-gate spare tire to make room for range extender...

    Community events?

    I posted this helpful suggestion elsewhere but have lost track where - Consider doing a viewing event near Scout HQ in/around Tysons Corner, VA. Or at VW NA HQ in Reston, VA. And/or upcoming DC auto show in January.

    Post-Reveal Scout Terra & Traveler on Tour?

    Helpful suggestion - bring them to DC / No. Virginia. Perhaps the upcoming auto show - with more brands not showing up year-over-year, there's plenty of space. But I think these would draw an audience. January 31 - February 9, 2025 Walter E Washington Convention Center Washington, DC...

    Space saver spare in Traveler Frunk

    I doubt Scout will go w/ donut spare. And swinging gate aside, better to keep it low due to its mass & weight.

    Future Model: Scout Sport- Smaller, and more efficient, but still capable.

    Anything in Scout history to suggest whether the doors on a 2-door might be longer than front doors on the 4-door? Or might be same doors with the rear doors just 'paneled-up'? Longer doors mean more shoulder and elbow room - a win for tall drivers.

    External lighting - safety tip

    Go with amber turn signals all around - safer, sharper, and smarter. https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/a32718015/turn-signal-dangers-july-2020/ https://medium.com/@jacktigras/the-state-of-amber-turn-signals-2023-ad897f6c5768

    Traveler Ultimate Wish List for Scout Motors

    Weave in some plaid seats (no pun) for that AMC Eagle vibe.

    Spare tire carrier - other locations?

    Great info, thanks!

    Traveler spare tire carrier - other locations?

    Might Traveler offer means to carry spare underbody, like Terra? Or perhaps mounted/standing to one side inside the vehicle? I'd prefer to completely remove the swinging-gate carrier and have the split tailgate unobstructed. Better fit in garage too. ...I've seen elsewhere that swinging-gate...
