  • 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.

    What was your first job?

    Your high school and mine were very different. You went to Old Medford High on Forest St, I went to new Medford High on High St in West Medford. Old Medford High had a fire (as you probably know). Although our drama club was one of the first groups to use the school since its closing. The school...

    Harvester Battery Stage of Charge Question

    Obviously I can’t speak for Scout, but . . . Once upon a time I did a trip LA to Boston (Medford) and stopped at a friend’s place in TN. He and Tesla warned me that there were few charging stations near him. The charger before the jump to his house brought me to 10%. Not a big deal, I thought...

    What was your first job?

    Did you know any McDougalls? And what park did you hang out at?

    What was your first job?

    When you first said “drag strip” something completely different came to mind. I’d do either job. . . .

    Dog Friendly Features

    Celtic music or Irish Wolfhounds being a stereotype?

    Dog Friendly Features

    While I’m here, I’ve had a thought (& it didn’t hurt). Has anyone mentioned an option for an animal ramp? Something older &/or smaller pets could use to get in and out? Like seats that fold down, how about seats that flip backwards to make a ramp? Just a thought

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    They are ever growing here in CA, but funny enough, mine never went to a showroom. It came straight from Fremont, CA. The rep met the car in my driveway when the carrier dropped it off. Pretty wild

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    About 10-15 miles away.

    Where's everyone from? Part 2

    Where is everyone from & where does everyone live now? I believe it can be 2 separate polls

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    I didn’t pay destination charges on my Model Y. It was delivered to my driveway…

    Are you OK with Scout vehicles starting under $60K?

    South of $60K? Absolutely. North of $60K? That’s a bigger discussion. When they are released, we’ll be on a limited budget. I’ll have to make sacrifices with any extras that I’d want. If the base price goes higher than, well I’d have to reconsider my options . . . I’m going to vote no, based on...

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    I had my Model Y delivered. God I’m lucky they even found it (hence its name is Waldo). It was pretty cool having to walk out in my jammies and receive my car. I had my own personal tour of the vehicle, how to get started and all. It was great. What I didn’t get was a factory tour, a lunch, a...

    Pets of Scout Motors

    Kuma, a 1yr old stray my daughter found sitting under a car when he was days old. Evee, our one-eyed alarm clock. She’s around 12, has 10 teeth and of course, one eye. Rhona, who can look unkempt 2 minutes after brushing. Our gentle giant is 10.5 and afraid of her own shadow . . .

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    OKAY, based on the 3body option, I’d take option 3 for a price (within reason). When I received my Model Y, it was in my driveway with a rep to show me around. Although very nice and personal, I felt obligated to offer him coffee and breakfast. This time I want to be served, as selfish as that...
