  • 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.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Many times. It's one of the reasons I have far less range anxiety than people think I should. We have also used at least one for an "emergency" charge (and shower). Level 2 charging is everywhere. And many people seem not to understand its power.

    Going to be a dry, windy, dangerous few days... Glad we have solar, home battery, and the Lightning to keep the power on. Charging to 100% just in case.

    These all link back to GM Authority. And then there’s this gem in GM Authority’s article: "GM Authority sources tell us that GM has reassessed its previously shelved GMC Jimmy plans, and that the vehicle program is back on track"

    New Traveler Color Concept - Satin White Traveler

    If they’re amber (front) and red (rear), I think they would be legal. But if they’re white or all one color, I don’t think they can operate when the vehicle is in motion. The regulations are specific on color, minimum number, and location of side marker lamps. But they’re a little less...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Now imagine that your app tells you there are 5/12 spots free. You trust that you can use that station because it’s almost 50% unused, so you navigate there. You arrive and there’s a Tesla parked in every other spot (plus one part where there are three cars abreast). Even though the station is...

    I'll see you there. Will try to take a lot of pics too.

    New Traveler Color Concept - Satin White Traveler

    It would be pretty cool if they projected puddle lights too. Something for the Harvester with the Harvester graphic and something similar for the BEV.

    Having to repair four bays of a loading dock better not shutter a company with $6B in cash reserves and insurance. This will likely not even significantly impact parts-deliveries to the company. From what I can tell, that building has 32 loading bays along that wall. If this dock was operating...

    Design it to last 20 years

    That's a fair critique of some. The Scouts' body on frame design is unlikely to be in that category.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Not to rub it in… I really like having an EV that can provide emergency power when the grid fails… ;)

    Design it to last 20 years

    I’ve been trying to figure out which ones too. I cannot think of a single one.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I recently sold my bike because my favorite riding buddy sold his and moved. My partner was never excited about my riding anyway. Maybe instead of riding, get a convertible and do the drive in more comfort but still as an adventure.

    Is the Squat Look a Real Photo or AI Generated?

    The closest official scout photographs I can find are here: https://community.scoutmotors.com/media/group_3-png.319/ https://community.scoutmotors.com/media/group_4-png.318/ https://community.scoutmotors.com/media/highresscreenshot00070-png.311/ There’s something odd about the image you...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Could you do a series of short trips that are separated by long stops in calming, restful places?

    What’s “old?” Do it!

    I’m only a drive away… :) But I agree and feel like it is a pretty hopeless task. Even the study that showed 95% of companies implementing ai have lost more money than they spent on the ai (i.e., they became less productive) didn’t help. It seems we just have to wait for the bubble to pop and...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Since the R3 is still basically vapor, I’d absolutely go with a Bolt. If you’re worried about resale value, get it on a 3-year lease and hope the R3 will be out by the time your lease is up. If it’s not, you have the option to buy the Bolt and hang onto it for a bit longer. Or something similar...
