  • 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.

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    :P <in jest of course sir> < But... I don't know if I could do that as my day job>

    February 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    Wow, and to think this whole time you've been missing out on this incredible feature. I do hope that you paid less than $90k for your red thread though. I'd write more now, but I've got to go fondle the upper region of the dashboard on my car. And after that, I let me hands rest in the...

    Charging while driving…Wild, irresponsible speculation...

    My father will only buy top tier gas, unless something else simply isn't available. And he's been that way for 20 years. So its definitely a thing.

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    Whoa, I wasn't expecting anyone to know that color off the top of their head. Fair play sir! And a huge upgrade from matte "universal khaki". My wife really wanted a more "modern" looking greige, but when we tested them in our home, the warm wood made them all look like different shades of baby...

    March 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    Wow, I know a lot of work was done every month. But somehow, this feels like more "progress" was made (visually) than some of the other months. This is super impressive.

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    I respect your expert level status, but am comforted by the "preferences are subjective" side of things :). Two things: 1) Our home is on the warm side of things already. Dark wood floors/baseboards/cabinets/window and door casements, and painted a "warm very light grey" inside (Sherman...

    Key Fob question

    Yep. Also, not everyone wants to leave bluetooth enabled on their phone all the time. Fobs are simple. But credit card style access keys could be another good option.

    Higher Range

    The link has more details broken down, but I couldn't embed it. Here is a screenshot though.

    Higher Range

    Saw this yesterday, seemed relevant. https://insideevs.com/news/790449/epa-range-estimation-test-results/ Looks like about as many brands under report, as over-report their EPA range. And given, this is based on a 70mph highway range test (not mixed like EPA). Although, I don't think they were...

    February 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    Same here. I'm a smidge shorter (6'1" on the dot, without shoes). I won't buy anything as a family vehicle that I can't sit in behind myself, without feeling comfortable. The third row of the Ioniq 9 is tight, but I did confirm before buying it, that I could sit in the 3rd row, "behind" myself...

    Higher Range

    The real issue is that EPA range != highway range. But people (the general public that is, not anyone here) hear that, and think that is the guaranteed highway range. I do think that is a problem. As if a vehicle doesn't meet your expectations when you bought it, people get frustrated fast...

    Off-topic stuff…

    This. Leica is... not cheap. As a side note (as this is off topic). Man, gas prices. Not that I "care" tons, because we're on a PHEV, and full EV for our primary driving. But, just been keeping an eye on it because its interesting. I gassed up on February 27th before I went snow camping in...

    How much more would you pay for a Launch Edition Scout

    I'm the opposite here. Not trying to sound rude, but I don't want the price of a VIP tour/banquet to increase the price of my vehicle. Personally, I don't see that as a value add, I see it as a value decrease (costs me time, and money, a lot of it... like a week, as I'm like 2500 miles away)...

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    Oh, yes, was it Rolls, or Maybach who did this? I remember seeing a luxury brand that did this recently. Micro LED's in the headliner, and all the stars. Was pretty cool, but... not in my price range :).

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    I mostly just had to have an opinion, because I figured... it would be funnier :). In reality, 3600k, and 4000k are so close, most people would have a hard time telling the difference. So I had to say something dramatic... that was actually almost the same, for the lolz. I feel J and I "know"...

    Headlight & DRL Color Temperature Changed?

    Whoa. We are worlds apart here. Like, WAY different. I really like 4000k :P. (at least for general interior lighting. Not so cool to feel cold/uninviting, not so warm to feel "yellow"). TBH, I've never actually thought tons about what color temperature I'd want for the Scout. 3600k...

    Higher Range

    My Ioniq 9 has 5k miles on it right now. And our average efficiency is ~2.9 miles/kwh. My buddy has an identical model, with 6k miles on it, and they have a lifetime avg of 2.7miles/kwh. Given that the Ioniq 9 is on street tires, is lower to the ground, lighter weight (likely, it has a smaller...

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

    The big upside with the V2L, is... that its easier for my wife to do it. Given, I WFH, so I'm almost always around. But V2L for us involves opening the frunk, plugging an adapter into the charge port, plugging cable into adapter and the manual transfer switch, and turning on the right circuits...

    How much more would you pay for a Launch Edition Scout

    To be honest, this is where my head is at right now. I was doing the same math earlier, and I really, really think its most likely that we're going to see launch editions around $80k. With the cheaper trims coming later. And, I do suspect that there could be some extra options thrown in for...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Definitely not something I did on the regular. But was a useful trick to know when offroading, and riding dirt bikes. Once the clutch linkage for my buddies CJ5 broke while we were wheeling, so shifting without the clutch became the only option for a bit. Also one time dirt biking, had a...
