  • 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.

    Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

    A bit of a thread hijack but the biggest culprit here is all this self-driving garbage. 26 cameras, radars, and lidar sensors are expensive, I have no desire to use them, yet they are installed on every vehicle so I have to pay for the hardware. Then I have to pay again to use the self driving...

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    You act as if ICE cars don't need tires.... Oh and don't forgot about brakes. My wife is at 92k miles on her Model S and the pads are not even half worn. Then there is the latest drama with my 155k mile diesel WK. Soon after replacing all of the fluids the speed sensor inside the...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    We've had a 16" 60V DeWalt saw for a few years now and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Why? Because my wife will use it. She won't go near a gas saw due to having trouble starting it, the noise, and the smell. But with the DeWalt she has no issues and is self-sufficient...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    In Oklahoma? Both! :censored:

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Woof. Glad it's going smoothly. I for one am so freaking completely done with dealing with ICEs. My 2007 diesel WK (Grand Cherokee) hit 150,000 miles recently. I do oil every 12,500 and all fluids every 75,000 so it was time for the whole shebang. This time my son was old enough to...

    What's the current timeline??

    This is quite surprising to me. The frames are gong to be built offsite by a 3rd party supplier? Considering the size of the Blythewood plant, I would think something as critical (and heavy/expensive to ship) would be built onsite? Maybe I'm influenced by 16 years with Tesla and their...

    Please no erev!

    Scout is doing both. How is that a bad idea? As others stated, they can vary the production line based on what people order. In fact, I think it's a fantastic way to increase revenue. People with range anxiety will buy the Harvester, then after a couple years will realize they don't use gas...

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

    Exactly what I said - Poor initial quality but customers love them - both of those can be true at the same time. Tesla had initial quality issues (as I said my wife's Model S drive unit failed very early) but they take care of the problems and keep their customers happy. That is the key...

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

    While I agree that Elon may wake up one day and shift Tesla from making cars to licensing FSD tech or robots or cybercabs or whatever fever dream he had that night, I vehemently disagree on your "short term" comment. Care to tell me what that is based upon? I have been driving Tesla's since...

    R2 Test Drive

    I've don't recall that data being officially released but you can get pretty close by doing some math. Scout says they have >160,000 reservations. It will probably go up as they get closer to release, when the configurator opens, etc. They will (hopefully) publish quarterly delivery numbers...

    June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    There's no way they push early reservations that far. There will be a sizeable number of reservations that do not convert (a ton of people will reserve after the vehicles hit the road but those will be after you of course) so your place in line will move up. It's also likely they will...

    June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    I will echo the others and say that I would hold onto the reservation - Scout may surprise you and it's only $100 and it will still be refundable down the line. We also have no idea how many reservations will actually convert to orders. Once the details are out, some number of people may...

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

    Ok, I give up. You started this thread by complaining that automakers are deliberately overcharging truck buyers in order to pad their profits and now you are saying that $60k trucks are perfectly fine. I have now pushed the "Ignore" button on your profile. Good day sir.

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    No question. The lack of physical controls is the reason I am leaving Tesla and looking at Scout. I think what @R1TVT is trying to say is that there is a place for both. Things that you use often should be real controls, things that you set once and never change could be in the touchscreen...

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

    I will admit to not knowing the Toyota trim hierarchy, but I just pulled up the configurator on their website and a 2026 Tundra Limited 4x4 with no other options is $60k. So it sounds like Scout is right where they need to be?

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

    @tomgillotti in no way did I disparage your family or service. I simply asked you to consider the ramifications of what it sounded like you were proposing (losing yet another domestic industry to unfair Chinese trade practices). The question remains (leaving out the inflation aspect). Have...

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

    Thank you @robothero for posting that Article. @tomgillotti you have now moved from ignorance to being a troll as we have pointed this out to you numerous time. The price that China charges for their cars is NOT the price of the car plus a profit margin. They are selling these cars at a loss...

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

    In the early days, Teslas would kill their 12V batteries due to overcharging. They eventually figured it out. Recently they have moved to building their own 16V Li-Ion batteries (which messes with some devices that are expecting 12V). My 2022 Model X Plaid has one of these. So far so good...

    Check Engine - Needs to go away

    Software. In the Tesla, there are the usual idiot lights (these may be govt mandated) but then it will also display a useful message on the screen to tell you what is wrong. There is also an "Alerts" section in the UI that will show a history of alerts so you (and your shop) can see what the...

    Satellite connectivity

    I am also curious what they come up with or the integrated system. But if your use is occasional as in the above, you can just use the AC power plugs on your Scout to power the regular Starlink that your buddy purchased (along with the PA system, etc). I really hope they figure out how to...
