  • 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.

    New Scout Video: Forging the Future - The Sound Of Scout

    …it’s been so long I don’t remember the sound from grandpa’s Scout. I vividly remember the turn signal on grandma’s Dodge Dart though…

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    …a general statement about dealers fighting direct to consumer- see the lawsuit from this week. Specifically a dig at the powerful dealership group in the Carolinas and the South Carolina politicians who love them. Scout would have done well to make the factory build in the state contingent on...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    …yes there are presently good indicators gdpNow is over 2 percent with a 5 plus last quarter, inflation is low single digits but ticked up, unemployment ticked up, an oil price spike on risk off for tanker insurers…a genuine mixed bag… …and it’s harder to see in the US but WV isn’t joking about...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    …that’s funny- being realistic on a fan forum isn’t the best idea I see, but I read the AP today and listened to the earnings call- there are some ‘grim’ numbers. My biggest concern is it looks to be something broader than just temporary setbacks..

    …thank the Hendricks for stomping out any hopes of factory delivery…at least not until you pay the dealers the 40k markup from sticker they were expecting from the ID Buzz…

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    okay, sure. to clarify Scout Motors is a U.S.-based, independent company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. Also from today's Volkswagen AP: the shares in Scout Motors Inc., Tysons/VA, (Scout), were transferred to Volkswagen US-Holding, Inc., Wilmington/DE, by way of...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Yah, it really could be nothing more than a realignment of the timing of Scout ambitions given the company's already announced profit collapse and workforce reductions...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    …for a bit of perspective VW Group had well over 200 billion euro in revenue in 2024. Their stake in the F1 team is not fully undisclosed but likely less than 1 billion. So, not a deal breaker. Porshce profits tanking, sluggish EV growth, other manufacturers…eh, pulling the plug on some of their...

    …if you think I’m crazy do a search for ‘health of VW Group’…not exactly a big secret or stunning news..

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    sorry gramps 🤪 I’ll try again- when there’s a claim of ‘technical issues’ I appreciate and understand it is challenging to develop and produce a vehicle essentially from scratch and would be surprised there weren’t delays…a press release that adds ‘existing financial obligations’ as a reason for...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I've moved from the They're-Giving-It-A-Go camp to Concerned Hopium camp. Discount the spitballing of the Demuros all you want but the distaste for pumping capital into new EVs and shortage of demand are real and spectacular concerns...

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    South Carolina is a cesspool of old fashioned politics. Legislators are too cozy with the nascar dealer network. If we get a modern dtc purchase experienceI’ll eat my Donnie Allison Hawaiian Tropic hat..

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I’m suffering bond villain fatigue. Does every product launch require a Steve Jobs copycat clutching an imaginary beach ball and pics of how you burned your first two rounds of vc? /end of rant …Scout, please find an on brand, relevant way to launch, would you?

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    …yes, WWI saw pocket watches being fit to straps what begat the popularity of the wrist watch. those canted at an angle are sometimes called a driving watch as the automobile was becoming a thing. the angle supposedly made it easier to read while hanging on to the steering wheel… …a Scout watch...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    …it’s a Seiko Lord Matic- you can see the black ‘LM’ above ‘special’ on the dial, from the 1970s probably before 1975z. The 5216 on the back of the case is the model of the movement, or calibre. Seiko does many things differently, plastic parts being one of them. I’ve worked on a few Seiko...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)
