  • 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.

    Scout Concepts are coming home April 18-20, 2026

    I think I see "Scout Mountain"! 🤘

    The Start/Stop Button

    Agreed, but I think they meant for actual functional things that needed buttons... ;-)

    The Start/Stop Button

    With SW, settings and different modes (like Camp Mode) you can do all kinds of variations on "OFF". Definition of OFF in an EV is different than turning a mechanical engine off, then have the 12 V battery ON. That is the nice thing about modern vehciles... There can be many different variations...

    100%... Talk about not skating to the puck. Let everyone that wants to buy gas & diesel jump on that thing. They can have it. No problem!

    New Traveler Color Concept - Satin White Traveler

    These lights (at least on other vehicles that have them, including my R1T) would turn "ON" when the vehicle is parked and unlocked (as part of a lighting setting) FYI. So, they would likely remain un-lit when in DRIVE (not making the vehicle more visible to other motorists). Either way, looks...

    They will be lucky if "they don't have to shut down for good"? Where do you come up with this stuff??? Zero reason why sustaining wind damage to what appears to be part of a loading dock at one of many their campus buildings would cause an entire company to shutter. o_O If that were the...

    Primary concern is cleaning snow and ice and clearing hood in winter (and them not being truly functional), but if stuff sticking out of the hood gave me a better drag coefficient, well, it might be easier to consider the trade-off!

    Maybe keep them on the Traveler! LOL. Anything non-functional that also creates drag goes in the bed of my pick up truck

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Agreed, since it is not even a choice at this stage. you can ONLY get a Bolt. The thing that Rivian has going for it with its own "vapor ware" is that the R3 is probably much further along its path to production (at this point) than the R1 was at the time when they took the trucks out for the...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    The AI space is so new - its exploding faster than any bubble I have ever seen, but its not all hype. My perspective is that there is good AI and bad AI (or, perhaps a better way to think about it is in terms of good and bad "AI results". Part of the AI "slop" problem rests directly upon the...

    I'm trying to count the number of times I have wished for hood tie-downs on any of my pick-up trucks in my entire life... I'm failing. I'm usually not as big a fan of things that aren't really utilitarian, but serve to look the part. That creates skepticism for me. LOL. Like, "Is this thing...

    Maybe we can delete the hood tie down points - or offer a cold-weather package that deletes them automatically. Those things will be collecting chunks of snow and ice in the winter like there's no tomorrow.

    Scout Motors announces in-vehicle satellite connectivity and highlights Scout Community UX interface at CES 2025

    BYOD wouldn't be bad either for those of us that already have something. I have a Garmin InReach. What would be cool would be to use device and that plan (when needed), but to be able to display the Garmin U/I and data on the infotainment screen. The InReach is cool b/c it is so compact. You can...

    You can almost hear the execs at Nissan in the background... "We need an EV truck ASAP!!!" "Let's beat Toyota to it and bring back the XTerra!!!" "Let's steal the hummer headlights" "Let's use the Scout roofrack!!!" "Put the plant in Mississippi!!!" OK.

    Can't do that with gas. Can't do that with gas. A lot of people will try to find ways to make EV charging equivalent to gas by ONLY thinking about DCFC, but that isn't how people charge regularly. You can also become even more independent and self-reliant with solar. If anyone has a runway of...

    Time to move on. It might be like that in other places on the internets, but not here.
