  • 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.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Yes, front center or front passenger side makes the most sense to me. The only reason T uses rear driver side was because of the garage at the house EM happened to be renting around the time they were making that decision. Now everyone is stuck backing in to charge 🤦‍♂️🤯

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    Just to clarify, rav4 hybrid has blended brakes, so regen happens when you hit the brake pedal.

    Can we get a regular openable panoramic sunroof?

    That would be my pref too, but I think, ironically, the present offering is really a result of feedback from this forum and other old scouters. Specifically there have been a lot of people asking for some sort of removable top and the solution they came up with was the cabana top. That’s not...

    Ok, at first, given the NASA context, I read that as SRBs. Was wondering if I missed something 🚀🧨

    R2 Launch Watch

    They are the current fad, and they are a way for manufacturers to save money. Calling it “the wave of the future” doesn’t make it good. It’s bad ergonomics and bad UI design. As long as there are alternatives, I’m not spending money to have a bad UI. We’re already seeing manufacturers walk...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I lived in central Illinois for many years among the corn and soybeans, never saw them burning fields.

    Key Fob question

    Nice thing about a fob is it can be designed with a physical key inside, for those times when things don’t go as planned.

    New Scout Video: Forging the Future - The Sound Of Scout

    Wait, are we talking about this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_Roll_Morton or this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_Roll_(singer) ? I had never heard of the second one til I went looking for the old one just now,

    Battery only or harvester.. starting to rethink it.

    Porsche Taycan famously exceeds its rated range, especially at highway speeds.

    I like the third one. Looks like a cross between a rainbow and a Edward Munch sunset.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I’m all about BEV, but given the current reservation numbers, if EREV were to flop, it would be very bad news for all of us.
