  • 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.

    I think the I3's design is... fine, but man, the range, and other capabilities look bang on. Including the price. If all of the next gen EV's do this, its going to be a big deal. I'm also sitting here feeling jealous that they have V2L support that does 3.7kw. I love that our Ioniq 9 can do...

    Off-topic stuff…

    If the axle is just stopping "randomly", it sounds like the ring and pinion might be missing some teeth/not meshing correctly. A shop should be able to rebuild it. I haven't checked pricing lately, but back in the day (20 years ago) it was like $500-1000 for new ring/pinion + labor to install...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Sure, just my once quarterly rant on MPGe :P. FWIW, the MPGe of the harvester should be fairly equivalent to the BEV, while its in EV mode. But in combined mode, yeah, it will be much less efficient. And thats really the draw right? I don't know what the EPA test cycle is for PHEV's and...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Mpge is sort of a messy metric IMO, and actually is more confusing to most people that I talk with, than it is helping. I avoid it at all times. Its really trying to show how efficient electric vehicles are, but its also sort of comparing apples to oranges. Here is what I mean: We're used to...

    Scout Concepts in Scottsdale, Arizona, April 25, 2026

    Hmm. I'll have to see if my Father wants to go check them out. He'd say he's not really in the market for one, but I did think about getting him a reservation at one point, as I think the Harvester Terra would be right up his alley. My parents have had the same 2002 (maybe 2003?) F150...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    As a side note, while I am generally still wanting manual control of my headlamps (even though I do use auto more now than I did in the past). I have found that I like the auto-highbeams feature on my Hyundais. I live away from town a bit, and the roads up here have no street lights. So high...

    Off-topic stuff…

    Wouldn't be surprised. The Ioniq 9 (and Telluride/EV9 for that matter) absolutely do have power folding seats on the higher trims. Although, they could easily be different as well. But the older model Palisade and Telluride also had that on the higher trims, and no such issues, so maybe its not...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I have a buddy who skipped a purchase on a vehicle (updated Chevy Colorado IIRC), because they removed the headlight control, and burried it in a menu. So its totally a thing that people care about (at least some). I'm also in that camp. Auto works fine-ish, until it doesn't. And when it...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Perhaps surprisingly, I don't disagree with much of that, and tried to indicate as such in my post. Its not a problem that the R2 isn't a rock crawler. As you say, 99% of people won't ever be doing this, and a vehicle that could articulate like that, isn't a great daily driver (been there, done...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Literally my first thought. Aint much droop, or stuff going on with those vehicles. And usually thats a huge indicator of offroad performance. Those tests are interesting... but mostly they just look fancy. Anything with locker( one, or two) and angles enough to not cause ground contact issues...

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

    I only found the second one. But I also only looked for like 12 seconds. Enough to confirm that the Jelly Roll comment was not, in fact, a joke. So I was completely unaware of either of them before yesterday (and I guess today, for the first one). Which I'm pretty sure makes me musically...

    Compared to the current other 3 row BEV offerings, IMO, the Ioniq 9 is head and shoulders better. The EV9 is based on the same platform, but is enough smaller that its noticeable, and... feels like it was designed by people that don't understand how families use vehicles. The seats were...

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

    If you'd asked me earlier today if Jelly Roll was 1) a sort of gross pastry, or 2) a country singer, or 3) both of the above, I'd have definitely only said 1. Did not even know that Jelly Roll was apparently a musician. Yeah, there could be a lot there. Thunderstorms, PNW style rain in the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    The price/value of the R2, isn't bad actually, at least from the MSRP perspective. The charging speeds are a bit on the slow side though (29min), but everything else seems pretty good. That said, its not competing with MSRP vehicles. This is landing in a field of pretty heavy discounts. I know...

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

    Welcome to the club! The XRT is pretty cool. I got my EV in September. And while I wouldn't "wish" high gas prices on anyone/anywhere like this, the fact that its making the Ioniq 9 a better purchase (by making the competing gas/hybrid vehicles we were considering instead have a higher cost of...

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

    Lots of interesting stuff in there, thanks for posting. From what I could hear of the "vehicle moving sound" (The AVAS: Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System), I thought it sounded good. I wish I could have heard it better, but understand why its obfuscated. I also liked the recording of all the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Its really common practice for new vehicles to be initially produced in only their higher trims. They have pent up demand for something (presumably from those passionate about it), who will usually be more likely to accept higher prices to get what they want "now". And also, at the beginning of...

    Oh, I'd seen they were dropping it, but wasn't aware of the calibration issue. But it is a bit of a bummer, as I had actually somewhat considered an R1S for a while, and the Standard was going to be what I was going to go with, as it was the only one even sort of close to the price point I...

    R2 Launch Watch

    On paper, that sounds high to me. But it turns out thats right in the range of the Model Y, which is a similar size (188in IIRC?). Personally, I really like Rivian vehicles. I just hate their approach to buttons, and the user interface. Also, the relative pricing of the launch edition and the...

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    Yep! In fact, its almost double the weight of a Lotus Elise, and at least 500lbs or so heavier than a Miata. And in fact, its only 800-1000lbs or so heavier than my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Batteries are HEAVY.
