  • 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 have no issues with the idea of a wheel, or haptics. But I do have issues with context aware controls for things that shouldn't need it. The main difference between driving, and using a computer/playing a videogame. When using a computer/playing a videogame, I'm already looking at the control...

    Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

    Seriously. Griddles/stoves, various lifts (kayak lift???), inflators, shop style light stands (can you imagine backing up to a field at dusk to play sportsball with your friends/kids team sport, telescoping a 3 light boom up into the air 10 ft, and turning on the stadium lights to finish...

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

    100000% agree. I love most of the rest of it , and rivians in general (although, not the "they're super expensive to repair" bit). Funny enough, the one review I've read so far, was about how the haptic scroll wheels didn't work for the reviewer as of their first experience with them (I think...

    Accelleration

    I sure wish my first house cost that much :/. Sadly, that is not the case. It cost... more than that. Although I'm glad to no longer be on an hourly rate.

    Maybe I dodged a bullet, because the dealers I called around to here were definitely not as cool as that. Which again reenforces how much I dislike dealers. There are too many tares in that wheat.

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    Oh, true. I didn't even think about public L2 charging, as I've never used it. But you're right, there are some around that are free (I think one of the local grocery stores has one thats free for 2hrs). And I'm sure many others are pretty cheap. I should have said L3 DCFC. AFAIK, the local...

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

    Correct. And not just for the fun cars. Even the Mundane ones have the same experience. When we were looking at 3 row SUV's before we got the Ioniq 9, we considered the Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE (the cheapest/fuel efficient one). Calling around to dealerships they said they best they could...

    Regenerative braking

    Yep. On both points. Although, not that there is anything objectively wrong with either mimicking a gas cars driving dynamics (the Ioniq 5 N seems to get good reviews from that perspective), or catering to muscle memory (again gas cars, but also why we haven't changed from QWERTY keyboards to...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    Oh, I'm definitely worried about the efficiency, don't get me wrong. This is not going to be near as cheap to drive as a Chevy Bolt or something like that. The physics just don't work. I think it is not very likely that we will see 350 miles of EV range/150 miles of EV range for the harvester...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    The ID Buzz has 234 miles of range. My Ioniq 9 has 320 miles of range, and the RWD base trim is 335 miles. I guess I was wrong on the msrp. They are very close ($59k for the buzz and $60k for the Ioniq 9). Except when I was considering them the ID buzz didn’t qualify for the tax credit...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    The other issue with the buzz, was its lackluster range for said price. It has a solid 100 miles less range than my Hyundai, but msrp was like $5-10k higher at least. It should have been like $10-20k lower in price at the range it had. Instead its effective price was $20-30k higher for ages...

    I assume that the Xterra Roofline , and first aid kit bump will be required in the design. Otherwise how would you even know it was an Xterra??? Also, MARKUPS!!!

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

    The XTerra was one of the few actual SUV's around for a while, and was really interesting in its time. Nissan has had a ROUGH go of things lately. But if they nail this, they might stabilize a bit more. You never know. Apparently the new leaf is pretty decent though, so its a good sign.

    Regenerative braking

    This is very useful. Mine does something like this, although its more of a "shows you a bar that fills with regen". I assume that when you are braking, and the regen bar is all the way filled, that it blends into friction brakes. But AFAIK there isn't an actual "hey, you're riding your brakes"...

    Regenerative braking

    EV Car sickness feeling is really down to two separate things. 1) In an EV, it is quieter. And the normal audible cues we have to be able to tell if we're trying to accelerate or slow down (engine noise rising/disappearing) are typically gone. Imagine closing your eyes as a passenger, and going...

    The scout stake pockets

    Sure, totally makes sense. I actually don’t think I have ever heard them called anything in any official media (like a spec sheet or diagram). It’s totally possible stake pockets was some sort of local/regional slang term. Was more trying to convey that I’d heard the term than anything else...

    The scout stake pockets

    I’ve only ever heard these referred to as “stake pockets”, fwiw. When I worked landscaping, we mostly used them for attaching tie downs, or temporary taller sides to the bed (using stuff like plywood and 2x4’s or other stakes). I think they’re used for camper inserts too, but I’ve never...

    Regenerative braking

    I may try to have my wife photograph some of this on ours sometime. For my Ioniq 9, regen level 0 provides 3kw or so of energy. Level 1 is something like a max of 15-20kw. And off the top of my head I want to say one pedal (level 4) provided as much as 75-90kw of braking. (For context...

    At this point who knows. I see they’ve still got 322 days until Christmas!

    Bi-directional Charging / Home Power Backup

    V2H is different than V2L. V2L is literally just the ability to plug anything into the EV, and power it. Most of the time this is achieved either through power outlets in the vehicle, or with an adapter/dongle that plugs into the charging port. V2H is generally meant to imply the functionality...
