  • 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.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    We have to certify the vehicles for the Davis Dam test (part of the SAE J2807 standard), which is arguably one of the most extreme use cases most people would encounter on a public road. In reality and in most usage cases, you could easily tow more. But we have to certify it to meet that...

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    It won't be linear. Depends completely (just like an ICE vehicle) on how you drive and where you drive. The efficiency of the engine generator completely depends on the loads and use of the vehicle. The engine can be used at any time to help charge the battery - parked, highway driving, around...

    It is common in most states to renew each year.

    Air Suspension vs. Coils - Long Term Durability vs. Real Capability

    Not an official answer from Scout here, but manufacturers have to draw a line somewhere. We can't cover "stupid" in some cases. :D That said, we expect people to offroad their vehicles and we will offer factory accessories for that purpose as well. Let's see what the fine print says when we get...

    November 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    There are several buildings going up as part of that project, but some suppliers will be under one roof. The southernmost building that is only a pad and footings (isn't visible in the aerial photo) is our accessories installation building.

    What's the deal with software issues in many newer expensive EVs?

    A little backstory on the legacy auto industry. On a broad level, most legacy manufacturers didn't have to write all of their own software. For instance, a supplier like Bosch might provide the anti-lock braking hardware and they would write the code and provide the ECU that controls it. This...

    Possible competition?

    Ford has more than likely been working on this for years now. The technology has been around for a while and is popular in other parts of the world. Jeep and Ram have already announced EREV models as well.

    Yours will be delayed a month for asking. :P

    As has been pointed out, Level II+ doesn't "officially" exist. That said, I got clarification and we will have Level II+ meaning some hands-free capabilities. Subject to final certifications and last minute changes.

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

    I’ve seen the production version and didn’t realize it was the production version at first. More subtle changes than anything else. That said, the concepts feature big wheels and wide tires similar to an off-road setup, so base models will look different from that perspective (and sit a little...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Hi all, Let’s try and keep our Scout Community an open and welcoming place. Forums provide a place to discuss and debate things and at times that might lead to disagreement. If the topic is driving you crazy, and you can’t be objective or debate without name calling, then it may be time to...

    Not refuting what Chris said here, but at launch we likely won't have a work truck version. That isn't to say we aren't acutely aware of the commercial market and plan to be involved in it in the future.

    Happy Friday! At the Detroit airport, heading home. Had some great planning meetings the last few days and went to dinner with our crew, including "Benj". It was great to see everyone as we wind down the year before the holidays. Terra is getting some TLC after LA Auto Show, Traveler is done...
