  • 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.

    Okay so in your opinion I should just buy the Silverado EV because it actually has the range they advertise. Is that it?

    I'm lightning a fire so Scout doesn't pull a Tesla. There really is no good reason to mislead on range specification. It just leads to a lot of frustrated people. Bad PR. Scout could choose the high ground on this one. That's what I'm hoping to see.

    I will keep speaking it because it's true. 130kw doesn't equal 350 miles. It doesn't equal 320. It's doesn't equal 300 in most cases. I speak from personal experience.

    The lightning is near 7. That's the nature of the beast of where things are in today's battery technology. Nonetheless, Scout needs to at least offer some options for range. Trying to push for y'all to have a true 350 on the EV side though.

    Most EVs aim really low. Why not aim high? Perfect example is the Silverado EV. There's no excuse now

    I think the better thing to do for them to do is be realistic about the range. They box themselves in with the 350 and 130kw. I'm not saying Scout can't turn it around cuz I know they can. And it's one thing for me to be on these forms saying this stuff. And another thing, when they have a bunch...

    It's actually very simple. There needs to be a higher range EV. No more misleading range

    There's also a clock running against you with battery degradation. I haven't checked the statistics in a while of how many people came to EVS and went back to ice vehicles due to stuff like this. First, people need to understand that you don't actually get the rated range. Doesn't matter if...

    It would have to be a real 350 mile range or it's just words. I'll pay more for extended range

    Higher Range

    I often drive a state over and stop to charge at the ripoff chargers (Not Telsa or Rivian) The ability to get true 350 miles is a good start.. Might be enough but still pushing it. 375 could do it. 400 would just be exactly perfect. Agree 150kw should be the minimum. Anyways the trip is 283...

    Higher Range

    When your guess-o-meter says you have 280 miles and the maps says you have 160 miles but when you're getting closer the range dips and then you wonder if you can even make it.. Something is wrong with that lol. I would like to see Scout avoid those same problems.. It's one thing for someone who...

    Hoping man.. I'd like to see nothing more than a true 350 and not cutting it down for every choice you make. Want to go a little faster? Buffer is nice. I really think it's going to take 150kw+.. And a Extended Range 400+

    Going down a hill. You can use the Lightning as a good example for comparison because I've been told many times it's the same size which is a good thing. With that being said, this truck does not get 300 miles unless you like to see if you'll make it. Load some people up.. do some truck...

    It would need to be minimum 150 KW or more

    450 extended range I'm In... Honestly if they make it a true 350.. not numbers on a paper for the base price that's advertised. They will be doing well.
  17. mastertroll

    Higher Range

    Got to keep in mind actual range.. will not be 350. I agree totally with this post. 400 should be the minimum.. or there needs to be an extended range model.

    Change of Heart?

    I have no doubt Scout will be successful. I watched videos on their software people... They are with it. I'm sure with enough time they will match anything Rivian or Tesla does and that's saying something.

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    Please put thought process into how the camera systems work. With Tesla this would have never been a problem. You can view all the cameras at once. It was just beautiful. Never had to worry about bumping into my dog. Not to mention.. you could go 200 mph and the cameras would still be on. Ford...

    I agree it does a really good job. Mile per mile. It's cheaper to drive a RAV4 hybrid than any EV. After getting into an EV I'll never go back.. but I do find myself missing the range
