  • 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.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I totally agree that this should be one of the options for the Traveler. Personally, I don't quite want a "space saver"/tiny doughnut spare, as those are just so limiting. But I'd be totally open to a smaller (diameter, width, or both) option. Copy Pasta from another thread. The "not quite...

    Cabin Pre-conditioning while out "adventuring"?

    I know that Cabin pre-heating/cooling is a thing that many EV owners use, when they have a consistent schedule (ie, I leave for work every morning at 8am, make sure the car is 70f). This is based on that, but different. Here is what I'm envisioning, roughly. "I expect to be back to the vehicle...

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    This is my understanding as well. Right now it seems like Solid state batteries are a "mayyyyybe we might see them becoming available by 2028-2030" sort of thing. But Scout is designing the vehicles NOW. They have to lock in designs at some point, and can't perpetually wait for new stuff. So...

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    Fwiw, I’m nowhere near as tall as you (6’1” on the dot barefoot, 6’2” or thereabouts in shoes), but my inseam is longer relative to my torso than a lot of guys my size (a buddy an inch or two taller than me needs to drop my bikes seat to ride it if we swap). But tall enough that I can just...

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    I'd be totally down with a set of rock rails that had a small step like that. I'd just be warry of any "protuberances" (bulbous extra bits sticking out) that would cause problems while wheeling. Sometimes I've seen ones like that, but with bigger "landing pads" for the front/back doors, which...

    Miles of Range Added Per Minute?

    I'm more concerned with the charging curve, than the charger, personally. Because the chargers will continue to change while I own the vehicle. But the charging curve should stay relatively static after purchase (can be adjusted some with updates, but its also not like software updates can...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Saw this today. The charging is "quite good". Caveat, that the range, is using the chinese range estimate (CLTC), is usually regarded as "exceptionally optimistic". Converting the CLTC range to EPA range, gives you a range estimate of ~421km (263 miles).

    How will the scouts handle the extreme cold?

    Oh, absolutely agree on all of it. More was showing "uh, its definitely a justifiable worry" for the general public, and that I understood why it was a topic. Interesting about the final drive ratio differences, as that part I hadn't dug into that level for the Equinox quite yet. And one I...

    How will the scouts handle the extreme cold?

    So, saw this article today. Basically, the Equinox has an EPA range of 306 miles. They drove at 75mph on a day when it was -6f, and they got 150 miles out of the first 90% of the battery, with an estimated ~19miles remaining, and an efficiency of ~1.7 miles per KWh...

    Sound suppression

    Agreed. There are huge differences in tire noise. (Anecdotally, I just put some Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's on my Jeep. They are "on road all terrain tires", and are impressively quiet compare to the Wrangler Duratracs I had on there before, and still maintain the 3peak M/S rating. I'm...

    Make Sure Traveler is drivable with tailgate/liftgate open.

    TBH thats also a major consideration for me. I might use the tire carrier on longer trips, but as it doesn't fit in my garage with the carrier on it (furnace and water heater eating the space on that side), I'd likely leave the carrier off around town. I've said a few times, but I feel like we...

    Hot take: 18-22" Wheels on Base Model

    (Wheels are the metal part that bolt to the vehicle with lugnuts, the tires are the rubber bit that goes on the wheel and touches the ground)

    Optional 37” Tires

    Two things can be true at the same time! Or, maybe in this case, its three things :D. *I'm right there with you. I haven't grown up, and I sort of refuse to, because bleh, who wants to grow up.

    Exterior lights for camping or off road

    I had the same thought. In fact, when they released the images of it, the first thing I looked for were small LED's on the sides. Alas. But there is hope :). LED's on the bottom of the door handles, and side view mirrors, and from the spare tire carrier/etc could get us close.

    Plywood

    I think that my family members would be more than happy to let me borrow their minivan. The problem is that my closest family member is 900 miles away, which makes those quick trips to lowes take QUITE A BIT longer :/. (I'd love to live closer to my family, they are all awesome, and I love...

    Hot take: 18-22" Wheels on Base Model

    Correct. The prototypes all have 35's, on 20's. But we do know that 18" will be the smallest possible wheel size. We don't know the 33''s will be on 18's, but it does seem like a decent chance that that will happen.

    Exterior lights for camping or off road

    I think I suggested this a while back? Either way, upvoting because I think this would be tremendously useful. This is NOT a roof rack lightbar sort of light that we're talking about (or, at least that I think I'm envisioning). Instead, it is light for "around the vehicle" in all directions...

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    I have nothing against them, but I'd be worried about damaging running boards of any sort, and especially electric ones. If they were somehow dual purpose as rock sliders, or somehow tucked behind some rock sliders, perhaps. Other than the above, the remaining worry is simply about money (I...

    Range and Competitiveness

    AFAIK, the PHEV batteries use a much larger buffer, to help offset this (again, smaller net battery size in relation to its gross battery size. But I hear you. From an article just last week. So, to your point, battery degradation is definitely a thing. It does seem to drop "sort of...
