  • 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 do not believe I could fit in the Scout Terra’s frunk. I know I can fit in the Lightning frunk with the hood closed. I am 6-feet, 1-inch tall on a good day and 6-feet on a slouchy day. https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/bigger-frunk.2776/post-45992

    I came to this post this morning to argue about the differences between “ai” and machine learning algorithms that feed various ways of approaching what the funding beggars, press, and anyone trying to grab attention in these times. But then I finished reading your post and figured I’d have to...

    Even if every issue was directly caused by the unions…taking a look around today with such weak unions and workers makes it clear not having them is much, much worse for people than having them.

    It would be great if UAW and AFL-CIO and other unions were strengthened in the US too. The human rights abuses by massive companies in the US aren’t all that different from China’s issues.

    I feel like I could see places (corners, roll-overs) where the wrap wasn’t perfect. But it was close enough.

    The Subaru and the Toyota are essentially the same vehicle. They’re decent. They have a good charge speed on DCFC, but it’s a little slower than what seems to be the expected charge speed. They have a good range, but it’s a little below what seems to be the expected range. They don’t excel at...

    So they probably want a longer-range vehicle for road trips rather than adding a second vehicle that can work well locally but isn’t a road trip vehicle. The R2 is a good in-between vehicle with a higher stance. The Lucid Air or Lucid Gravity are both fantastic vehicles for road tripping and...

    It’s a long drive. I do it around once a month or so (between northern Arizona and LA/Pasadena). Glad you made it back safely.

    The biggest thing we were talking about on the way home is that there’s no perfect, optimized vehicle to buy for our use-cases. So some kind of compromise would need to be made. UX? Size? Wait time? Etc. I know the Scout is going to be a fantastic vehicle. It could very well be the best...

    Well, we got to meet @Colton_Scout80 and @Hedges1 in person, but then the crowd started to get to me so we had to skip out. I’m bummed that we didn’t get to meet any other forum members. I’m glad there were so many people there who seemed at least interested and not annoyed with a couple new...

    The crowd is huge and I don't do well in crowds, so we had to head out. :( Will post photos and thoughts this afternoon.

    I'll be the goofy-looking nerd in a NASA t-shirt.

    15 minutes away. Hope we can park close enough to the Terra for a few minutes at least to get a couple photos of the Lightning next to the Terra.

    Yes. It was mentioned that the bumper is modular and the ends can be replaced.

    Agreed! And I think Scout's lawyers probably don't want there to be an official photoshoot like that so I'm hoping I can slip in.
