  • 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.

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    I could be way off but I feel like most people are in two camps for how the EREV will work. Powering straight to the wheels. Which it is not at least as of now. Or when you run your battery down to zero, the engine will be sending power through the battery to the motors in real time. It may...

    Ideas for Scout Engineers

    Due to the less than appealing aesthetics of solar panels and their durability I would not want it integrated into the body. But a solar bed covers may be cool. I like the idea of some quick DC connects. For a bring your own solar option. But should be a solar package, no need to add extra...

    Suggestion: Autonomous Driving Mode

    TBH I did not read every post in this thread so forgive me if it was mentioned.. In one of the recent CES videos, a SM Engineer mentioned level 2 driver assist or something along those lines. The key thing being Level 2. Quick Google search and seems like it'll have something akin to...

    Ideas for Scout Engineers

    Well put. Personally I try to be eco minded, pack it in, pack pack it out. Put plastics and cardboard in the blue bin even though I know there's a high likelihood that it's all going to the same dump. But I don't like the idea of not knowing what the life cycle is for these massive toxic...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I'm sure it has been posted already but quick search didn't pull up anything. But.... Startup Light Animations! I'm a sucker for an elaborate startup light scene. The flashier the better. But I whole heartedly admit even I would get tired of it. So having a config option to choose your startup...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Yeah some quick access toggle too, not burried in system settings. My wife's Palisade has a physical button for it so quick and easy to enable or disable lane assist.

    Range extender - please adjust spec to 250 miles of EV Range

    Maybe..... By the time of the roll out solid state batteries are commercially viable. I'm sure there will be the "early adopter tax" and they will cost a premium. If such a thing should happen it would be great to see a "premium" battery option. With the base offering being what we're told...

    The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

    Video provided the best video of detox mode yet. Well balanced between the cluster dash and media center. Well thought of.

    Terra - Roof Top Option

    Some kind of retracting cloth cieling or elecro-controlled window tinting that could get very dark

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I'm going to throw a wild idea out there. Some ML based object detection. I don't know what the underlying OS is for the media center but it looks way fast and smooth to be these hobbled together monstrosities from other vendors. I know Redhat is working with car manufacturers to get a real...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I agree not having level fold down seats, would be a big miss in this segment.

    Scout shows off the UX at CES!

    Detox mode seems interesting. But did it have like next turn directions on the instrument cluster or something? It's nice that it's just simple to distance left and distance till next charging station. But I don't want to miss my next turn when it comes up.

    That UX stuff is looking really good. Wonder how those under cameras are going to stay clean/clear and protected.

    Size comparison

    ? I scrolled to check if you posted one, but I must've missed the pagination. Awesome work. Interesting to see the near exact lengths but shorter wheel base as the F150.

    Size comparison

    That's awesome work. You happen to have any of them Terra comparisons? ?

    Modular battery pack design

    Just did a quick google on QuantumScape. This is exactly what was holding me back from pure EV. That is until the Harvester announcement took me by surprise and enrolled in the early reservation thing. Having the Harvester AND solid state batter .....SM please make it so!

    Scout Motors at CES 2025

    Nice, it'll be interesting to see if going with low latency mid orbit Starlink or more traditional satelite connectivity. Also if there'll be any data caps. Eg, is this connectivity really only for making WiFi phonecalls, limited map or data downloads. Or are my kids gunna be able to play...

    360 Camera Auto On

    I would also add replaceable storage too. So you can expand or replace as needed.
