  • 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.

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    As usual you hit the nail on the head J. What I will say is I think SM approach so far is spot on. I can remember shopping the Hummer EV before I got the Rivian and one of the things I loved was the multifunction switches below the screen. However, as I've mentioned before what kept from buying...

    Rain/fog Lights in the rear

    They're great! They are standard in Europe for the most part and Tesla had something similar but what I like about Rivian's set up is they are a pair of low separate lights from the brake lights and if you can run them on dark non lit roads/highways to make the vehicle that much more visible to...

    Rain/fog Lights in the rear

    Rivian has rain/fog lights that you can turn on in the rear of the vehicle that greatly improves visibility in rain and foggy conditions. These lights are very bright red lights that are easily visible from distance, but one of the reasons I like to use them in my Rivian is they also disable the...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    I can see how this is going to be a difficult choice for Scout on which direction to go in. I think to start off the main group of buyers will be hardcore Scout enthusiast that have been waiting decades for another product, and then of course people like myself that will be coming from a Rivian...

    Onboard air compressor

    Ok so we all agree we need a good air compressor in the Scout. However, I read somewhere in the forums that they could potentially be thinking about having two suspension options? I think this is awesome, but at the same time could be an insanely difficult task in both manufacturing and...

    Air Suspension vs. Coils - Long Term Durability vs. Real Capability

    Might as well hit up the Georgia Traverse and Beasley Knob and get y'all a badge since its basically right next door to the factory. Hopefully I'll see you guys out there. :cool: 🤙

    Onboard air compressor

    I get what you're saying, but I have the air compressor in my Rivian and it works quite well. I don't know the time frames in which you think would qualify as fast but I can from 30 (recommended min PSI from Rivian) back up to 48 PSI within 5 mins or so. But this might bring up another...

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    Thats correct. FSD is considered level 2 also. However, I think FSD is much closer to level 3 than say Rivian's EHA system, and its the system of Rivian that I would want in my Scout not necessarily to the level of FSD.

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    According to Google - Yes, Tesla's Autopilot is classified as Level 2 under the SAE six levels (0 to 5) of vehicle automation.

    A fun tool to compare Traveler BEV vs. EREV routing

    I currently own a Rivian R1T and while you can easily do Route 66 in a BEV nowadays, it just comes down to personal preference at this point. Personally I love driving an EV daily, and love taking my Rivian off-road but thats where the problems start. While my truck is wildly capable off-road I...

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    Fun fact, on the highway the Tesla system defaults to the now extinct autopilot system which was their default lane keep assist system. I think what you like is the point-to-point navigation which will take interchanges, and exits the highway for you. I think point-to-point is definitely needed...

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    Jamie, an off-road course at the factory is awesome to hear. I will happily submit my 2025 Rivian R1T for comparison test if y'all would be interested in something like that. I'm only 2 hours from the factory. :cool:🤙

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    Is that so? I just don't think the Scout customer base is going to prioritize that as a selling point. I mean when Rivian moves to charging for Autonomy plus I'm not going to be subscribing to it.

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    I have owned a Tesla on FSD and gets boring. I currently own a R1T and use the EHA (Enhanced Highway Assist) on my daily commute which is roughly about 90% highway. Honestly, I think the only thing needed in the Scout is a good lane centering adaptive cruise control, auto lane change, blind-spot...

    Center Screen

    Same. I find them as a distraction most of the time, and tbh I don't really understand the hype around HUD.

    Onboard air compressor

    In addition to the air compressor it would be awesome to have the software to have the vehicle alert you when airing down and reaching the desired PSI much like Hummer EV does.

    New Owner Experience

    There are several competitors that offer new owner trail experiences with the purchase of a vehicle where you can spend a day or half with an off-road professional teaching you how to best use the vehicle. Undoubtedly a lot of Scout owners will be well versed in off-road driving but I think it...

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    Design team is absolutely killing it! The two tone interior is gorgeous, the exterior color fits perfectly with the mil spec wheel and tire combo, and the orange DRL’s look so much better than white lighting. This setup with these accessories is making me want to switch back to the Terra. This...
