  • 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.

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    AFAIK, it isn't really that easy to just "take the battery" from one EV, and put it in another. Many of the times, the batteries are designed/configured in a way to be either structural to the frame/stiffness of the vehicle, or packaged in/around the frame/unibody. So you can't just "swap a...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I'm so sorry to hear that, but also, I love that you feel brave/comfortable enough to step in and say this. I can't say anything that would wouldn't sound like pandering, other than saying, that I'm also not a huge fan of marketing that is super on the edge there. Especially not from an...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    I will say, as an owner of a 320mile rated EV, range around town/day to day local use, range is almost never even thought of. As almost any EV these days, will have enough range for normal day to day use on a 80-100% charge, unless your needs are extensive (200 miles or more, especially if it is...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    There are a fair number of places reviewing EV's like that. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/real-world-ev-range-tests-models-that-beat-epa-estimates-a1103288135/ https://outofspecstudios.com/70-mph-range The more premium brands seem to do quite well. BMW, Mercedes...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    FWIW, I also worry about the battery pack size, at least in the terms of actual useable range on the highway. My Ioniq 9 has a 110kwh gross/107kwh useable battery pack size. And its EPA range rating is 320 miles. Now 120-130kwh is a fair bit larger (up to 18%). But The ioniq 9 seems like it...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    My parents cabins feature this alarm clock as well :D. Also, one time in high school, I went to go camping with a buddy, and the camping areas we went to were all full (I know we hit Christopher creek campground up past Payson, but can't remember the others we went to). But it was at this point...

    Dixxon partnership, & EV whirring

    I'd be totally onboard with that. I've at points been very into computer overclocking (long story). And for one of my earliest PC's, I changed the startup sound to a V8 with a hot cam starting up :D. Lots of other acceptable sounds out there too. Even something like thunder/lightning, or a...

    Dixxon partnership, & EV whirring

    TBH, I don't mind the angel noises while driving at low speeds. Maybe if it was just my car doing it, but its been a law for a while, so I sort of don't mind it (although like Strider says, it makes sense for it to be for ALL vehicles, just not any that can move under electric power only). But...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I can't imagine a "breathing down your neck" feature would be very popular? Well. Unless it was a halloween update. And one you could turn on for a different seat without them knowing. Then maybe it would be very popular, to prank your significant other/children/co-worker with creepy breathing...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    100% agree. My raise last year was also tiny. I had some buddies at work get < 1%. I was just over 1%. And the year before we got 0% (for everyone). Its not been "awesome" lately. But we're fortunate, I feel bad for those worse off, as these fuel prices have a bigger impact on them. The only...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Our prices here have jumped locally as well. Around Valentine’s Day it was around $3.79 or so. On Friday it was $4.39, and today it was $4.49. And I see articles saying barrels of crude could go up to $150. Which if true, would definitely continue to go up. Wonder if we’ll see it go up to...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I did this for the past 2 years in our PHEV. It really is useful. Also note the mileage, and the time between stops if you have it handy. Our stops are generally ~10-20 minutes, with the ~20minutes being the longer ones, with other stuff happening (either traffic/pump congestion, waiting for...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I hope its more common than people think. My wife and I had to learn to stop plugging in our Ioniq 9 so often, as we were conditioned by our PHEV and L2 charger (sometimes getting 3 full charges in a single day). Now we charge the Ioniq 9 1-3 times a week, instead of 1-3 times per day.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I swear it was in one of the interviews that they said that they were targeting 70mph steady state at least, and that the 350miles of range, and that they said it was going to be gas and go, not gas/charge and go. But, to your point, we don't know what we don't know. I was mostly just showing...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I'm still very on the fence here. Still reserved for Harvester, but recently (In sept) bought an Ioniq 9. So far its been great, but in almost 5k miles, we haven't yet touched a public charger. The harvester really would allow for 99% EV use case for where I live, while retaining the gas...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    The gas prices being volatile right now has me doing this same math for our road trip this summer. Of course that’s way far out, but movement there could affect which vehicle we take (the ~30mpg PHEV, or the ioniq9). The math I did last month showed the PHEV would’ve about half the price...

    Lego Kit

    I got my son a Bronco Lego Technic for his birthday just recently. 943 pieces and he was stoke about it. It wouldn’t be hard to adapt for a scout variant methinks.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    IMO, if someone is trying to buy an EREV, they actually DO want to plug in, otherwise they'd be going for just any old truck. As a side note, if EREV is what is coming up first, then 1) thats not a surprise given the preorder distribution, and 2), I wonder if that will change what batteries are...

    I like how you kept the topographical graph lines in, to make it easier to see how far up the hill you've gone :D. (sorry, I had to)
