  • 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.

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    There are third party workarounds for the CarPlay thing!

    R2 Launch Watch

    I have to consistently remind myself the Scout is in the R1 segment, not the R2.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I gotta say guys, for car that other forums call vaporware like the Scout, it sure has influenced the market quite a bit. Seeing other manufacturers lifting specific features and colors means they're taking Scout seriously.

    If I end up pulling the trigger on the R2 I'll definitely pay extra to install the carplay 3rd party thing.

    I have- its the default in our Volvo so if I don't have my phone plugged in I'll use it. Waze offeres a number of features that aren't there though- specifically "live" traffic/hazard/police updates and rerouting which have honestly been a lifesaver more than once.

    I've never used Rivian's navigation but I can guarantee Waze is 100x better.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I’m hoping my number doesn’t get called for a bit, logistically not in a super great spot this early!

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    Scout has always said they are targeting 60k which, in fact, fits between 45-55 and 70.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    If only there was a window between the $45-50k and the $70k+ price points Scout could squeeze in.

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    Ha- I said almost the same thing to my daughter when we grabbed the mail "what the heck did I order from Charlotte?"

    Scout Gift "Unboxed"

    I just got my book! I wasn't expecting it at all and was just excited to get a package lol. Definitely a fun keepsake.

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    I like this post because everything you said makes me want to keep my reservation (at least until I see it in person). I'm coming from a smaller car and we already have a big car, so something in the middle is perfect for my family. Selfishly I'd want something more scout sized, but I have to...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I will say, I have a custom sunshade and rear window shades for my Crosstrek and it makes a noticeable difference in the summer. I don't have the same benefit of being able to pre-cool like the Rivian/Scout will, so its come in handy big time.

    R2 Launch Watch

    FWIW I was able to update as "Not leasing vehicle" so that option is there as well

    R2 Launch Watch

    I'd probably wait on real world reviews on a $65 screen protector. I'm not anticipating dropping it so I don't 100% see the value there.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I configured a launch edition Catalina Cove with Coastal Cloud interior (not available until late 2026 but I am not sure my number will be up by then anyways) and it's only at $60,990 which includes the tow package and Autonomy+ (both included in launch edition) Not bad! Edit: I would...
