  • 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.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    It is easy to be negative and worry about VAG cancelling Scout Mototrs. I try to stay positive about Scout's future by remembering the following: Scout has secured over 160,000 reservations as of March 2026. They are $100 deposits. They are refundable, but that still means a lot of people have...

    Actually @THil08, in a recent interview (The Drive, March 6th) Scott Keogh said that "we’ve got some solutions on that front" when asked about the tow rating being cut in half for the EREV. So, it sounds like that is no longer an issue.

    Thanks for the update, @Jamie@ScoutMotors . I am planning on getting the tow package on my BEV Terra and will pay a reasonable price for that option. But $1,500 would be a bit steep. 😁

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Happy Friday to you too @cyure ! It is 33 degrees here today and we had an ice storm last night, so my driveway and the local roads are very dangerous (I am so glad I can work from home). And at this point, I don't even know what temperature would be considered normal.

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    Hopefully, the posters will be available in the Scout store at some point, and we can buy extras.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    This tells me that you and a lot of other people have/had unrealistic expectations about what an EREV can do. I don't want to be snarky here, but I have to point out that you are, by your own admission, disappointed that the reality did not match your imagination. Your description of what you...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I am planning a long road trip next week. I will be driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 (HI5) BEV. It is a 3-day trip one way and will require 12 charging stops (including overnight charging), using ABRP to plan the trip. I am driving rather than flying because I am stopping to pick up family along the...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    If you look at the details, you will find out that Bezos is not involved in Slate. One of his companies participated in the Series A round funding for Slate. I think the article writers keep mentioning his name since it will lead to more clicks. From a Newsweek article (even they include "Bezos"...

    Go over to the gift threads. A lot of people have already posted pictures, and they look really cool. :cool:

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    I liked this smaller part of the poster more, so I put it up instead of the full picture. Repurposed a full sized poster hanger, I'll get something that fits better soon. I don't know if I'll get a proper frame or just another hanger.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    I think too many people are looking at the Slate wrong. Or are just looking for a reason to tear it down for some reason. It is a small inexpensive electric truck that will be fun to own and drive. Why can't people just appreciate that? Here is just some of the criticism I have seen that I find...

    If you really want to get your truck early, buy an EREV Terra (or Traveler) with a promise to race it in the 2028 Mint 400 alongside the 1976 Scout Terra (link to recent story). That should get your Scout onto the production line early, since the race is in March. You will of course have to spec...

    Scout delayed??

    Before people get too depressed, the Scout FAQ still says production starts in 2027 (FAQ link). The main change is that they now specifically state that they will "prioritize EREV models for first production." I don't know if prioritizing Traveler is also new (FAQ link), but they are...

    I love the alt-text on that one: "Now that I've finally gotten an electric vehicle, I'm never going back to an acoustic one." :LOL:

    That is a Doctor Who reference (if you are not a fan, "it's bigger on the inside" is a common comment about his Tardis).

    So, what you are saying is you want it bigger on the inside? 😁

    Ford’s future small BEV vs Terra

    I would actually prefer a smaller truck than the Scout Terra. The size that Ford is promising sounds like it would be perfect for my needs. But, I won't get a Ford due to the dealerships. I have had to use several of the Ford dealerships in my area for sales and service, and have had a terrible...

    Scout Patents

    I tried the links on a PC (Firefox on Fedora Linux) and I got the same "unauthorized" for both links. I can open PDF files fine.
