  • 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.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Had to go back and double check... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

    R2 Launch Watch

    I’ll be honest I may end up actually biting on my reservation at least at the Premium level (Performance feels a bit overkill to me).

    Pricing for the launch trim level is much better than I expected.

    I drive a 2019 Crosstrek with ~90k miles. (I've previously said 2018 because that's when I bought it but turns out I got the MY wrong!) I have a ~55 mile round trip commute 4-5 days a week + after school/weekend activities. It's not the family car. We have a Volvo XC90 that does all the heavy...

    I think it depends on timing and what the used market looks like in my area, but have been eyeing up a Volvo C40 or possibly an Ioniq. I'd jump on a F150 if I could convince my wife lol. Edit: forgot the ID4

    Been eyeing up temporary options in case I get sick of gas prices lol

    My favorite ones: - Why are EV chargers getting tax breaks, why not gas? (gas is already subsidized) - Why aren't we spending money to build out the gas station network? (we did this decades ago, gas doesn't need further expansion)

    Not exactly news, but take a look at the comments in this Facebook thread. Our county commissioner posted about expanding charger access and you can see how dug in/uninformed a lot of people are. https://www.facebook.com/share/17aiTD1vPw There’s a lot of work to do in that space, if someone...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    Eastern PA Community is slowly taking over the forums. 😎

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I'd love to see the pure EV range bumped a little higher but as it stands I can round trip commute ~3 days on pure EV and have the ability to charge at work and home (once I install a charger). If there's other stuff going on I can tap into the dinosaur juice to extend it a bit!

    Service Center

    I believe part or all of this building (or the land behind it) are now for sale. Wink wink. It looks so nice inside!

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I can easily do 2-3 days of commute/daily drive just on BEV so if the Harvester is easy to turn off and use only as needed (e.g. longer drive days) I'd be all about it, especially as a "bridge" vehicle!

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I just realized I reserved on 10/25 because I hemmed and hawed until after midnight. PAIN!!!

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    I like the creases, gives it that weathered/worn look!

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I am currently in the EREV reservation line but have switched back and forth a few times and would happily jump when the time comes if the stars align properly.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I feel this in my bones. You've got a few years on me but every time I hear a noise I go "is this going to be the one?" and start figuring out what I'd be forced into driving in the interim.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I think I put my reservation in like 6 hours after announcement too so I'm not at the front!

    Even before this "change," expecting to be driving your Scout in 2027 was on the border of fantasy and hopium.

    The size of this key is so large it requires a fleet of pallbearers to carry. There's a reason why Scout has very specifically not leveraged the "VW muscle" or "VW supply chain" or alluded to any cross pollination. They are operating as a very separate entity specifically so they can't get...
