  • 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.

    Spare Tire, Backpack, or Bald?

    Spare Tire! Driving in STL I have already had to change out a popped tire twice in 4 years, and that is 10x more often then I would like to be driving around with a space saver on fast highways. Also with the frunk I will already have a solid sized cargo space that is "Quick Access".

    Honestly I do not think those are the craziest pushes. I am more thinking that there will be LRIP at the very end of 2027 for EREV with a real production run starting in 2028, with BEV following with a LRIP at the middle of 2028 and full production running in 2029

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    Nevermind then, I was clearly speaking out of my ass lol. I guess I always thought that the 3/4 ton capacity was farther away from where we are.

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    I think if they can get the towing capacity to ~6000lbs that would be nice to see. The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser hits that and I think size and price wise a lot of people would be looking at that for a comparison (maybe not cross shopping, but at least using it as a comparison point). Plus an...

    Plus we would save over $500 billion in government spending, which you gotta love the sound of (in 2022 dollars according to the IMF). Think of all of the trains.

    Website updates

    The website has been slowly updated. But at the same time its only been a year and half at most. The two mock-ups are not really cars in any real sense in that they are custom hand-built shells. So getting videos of them in action or driving is going to be very rare. Their social media accounts...

    This would not entirely surprise me with the rate of construction right now.. Especially if they are aiming to have production by the end of 2027.

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

    I was more referring to the fact that my company uses a variety of different modelling software and that my specific sites chosen software is far superior to CATIA (in my humble opinion).

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

    Now that I have been thinking about CATIA someone is going to ask me to open a model at work in CATIA and that will make me want to set my computer alight

    I don't really understand this article, the wording "“Our investments have grown as we’ve realized this vision,” they added, stating that the previously announced $2 billion was a “guaranteed minimum investment” under the agreement signed by the company with the state of South Caroline" here...

    Exactly. The S was doomed as soon as other luxury OEM's could make a "Sport" trim of their EV's compelling. Are you telling me that I would have to spend $25k more on a Model S compared to a i5M? Like yes the range is less but lets also be real if we are buying vehicles in that performance...

    2026 Lightship vs Pebble Flow All Electric Trailers

    I believe the Lightship also lower/raising mechanism. Which while cool and will help with range....probably not the greatest for reliability and insulation.
