  • 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 wouldn't count on seeing it here. So-so range and not a performance car. A European commuter. Tariffs probably make it expensive here also (made in Turkey, I believe).

    Home Charger Reviews and FAQs

    I'm having a house built in a new development. I have only one option for EV wiring from the builder. I still have to choose a charger and have someone install it, but I don't currently have an EV. How do the specifications look?

    #4 Reservation spot for sale (?)

    I saw an interesting post at Reddit's ScoutMotors thread. Someone who claims to work for Scout Motors is selling the number four reservation spot. They say it was "submitted before public launch" and they "developed the system for reservations". https://www.reddit.com/r/ScoutMotors/s/WANWwGLRX6

    Offering diesel

    It seems unlikely we'll see another small diesel in the USA from a VW Group Company. The legacy of Dieselgate looms large. Light-duty diesels are essentially dead here. It's only GM's 3L Duramax. Europeans are abandoning diesel cars for hybrids and EV's.

    News from Autoline today. Autoforecast Solutions (AFS), a global automotive consulting and forecasting firm, predicts the Traveler won't go into production until September 2028, and the Terra in March of 2030. The Terra is expected to be in production until 2039. Let's hope they are wrong...

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    The EA288 is a diesel. I believe VW makes the EA211 and EA888 in Mexico.
