  • 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 realize this would never happen, but something like this would be amazing. As a kid, I pined for an Eagle SX/4 while others wanted mere exotic sports cars. https://burlappcar.com/2026/01/should-scout-add-a-compact-model.html...

    Launch already delayed once from 2026 to 2027 - “The Scout brand will begin production in 2026, with an electric pickup truck and SUV duo.” “The brand is currently aiming to begin production of its first models by the end of 2026.” I suspect the EREV-first switch had already happened before...

    Historically, yes. But think ‘Electrall’ is a better badge for BEV - all-electric, big battery to power your tools, campsite, home, aircraft, etc. Plus we wouldn’t want to confuse those knuckle-dragger EREV prospects…

    My baseless speculation is that at best, we’ll see EREV launch first in late-2027/early-2028 for MY28 with slow ramp-up. Then BEV late-2028/early-2029 for MY29. No proof, no evidence, just gut feeling.

    PBY stands for Patrol Bomber Y, an iconic U.S. Navy aircraft designation for the versatile Consolidated PBY Catalina, a flying boat used extensively in WWII for anti-submarine warfare, search & rescue, and reconnaissance, with 'P' for Patrol, 'B' for Bomber, and 'Y' as the code for its...

    I think this wish list is more helpful encouragement and satire. Scout branded Foam Dome?

    Took a quick look at both web sites, they seem to be far less generous with that zipper pocket for phone alongside the 1/4 zip. It will change your life.

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    I like it, but still no Patagonia-thing? Some kind of quarter zip sweatshirt/sweater + zipper pocket for phone? Scout Supply seems to be underachieving a bit in the eyes of the impatient.

    I suspect the Audi variant won't be going to Colorado for a very long time after production start.

    Could be EX60 interior - you'll see differences in materials, staging of the iPad - I think there are reasons prior chief designer was fired last summer and Ingenlath doesn't return to Volvo until 10 days after EX60 reveal.

    "EX60 might not have a design to current Volvos liking. I heard it will raise some eyebrows and maybe not in a good way. It is more a large EX30 than an electric XC60... will EX60 be the naive unsophisticated digital car with no buttons like the EX90... It sounds like it."
