  • 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.

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    Forum by definition is open discussion regardless of opinion. The difference is; I'm open to the fact that it's could be fantastic - instead of insistent that it WILL be. Questioning why I'm here is like me questioning why you're so devoted to something without a confirmed release date - or...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    The home charging argument is a nice win for any conversation at face value. My Egolf is appx $28/mo to charge from home.. weee flowers and rainbows!!! Like the iX and Bolt, it's a vehicle designed for efficiency. Ask a Hummer owner their charge costs. I see so many of you with cars and...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    I understand that home charging provides immense cost reductions and that napkins math will always show that an EV is more cost friendly.... but we're forgetting the upfront cost to buy. For the price of a loaded Hummer or Rivian - I was able to buy a loaded dealer demo Powerwagon and a used...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    We have to remember that range does not dictate efficiency though. The Buzz might have been 234 mi to your 320, however it only has a 91kwh pack where the Hyundai is 110kwh. Of similar size, weight and aerodynamics - their efficiency is close, albeit one with a smaller pack. Something to...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    Dead may not be the truth, but the Buzz is paused without a definitive future. I'm not sure where all of you are - but on Canadas West Coast, the Buzz didn't have massive dealer markups or price adjustments. They were listed for MSRP, with plenty of inventory, strong marketing and still didn't...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    Love it! Powerwagon and Scat392 owner here. The Hemi is an engine which gets a bad rep, mostly by non owners, but ultimately has huge personality and has been very reliable for me and my wife. Our DD/ city car is a 19' Spektrum VW Egolf with DCFC and heat pump. Have 100,000km on it now - its...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    OP has been watching and listening. Couple notes from statements above. -Yes the Lightning is dead. Ford tried a Hybrid with the Powerboost. The F150 will also outsell the EREV. -The world hated the EV Charger. Once the bugs were out/ mostly programming, it's a decent car. But the Sixpack...

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    I think the Scout is going to be a flop. It has a group of forums to decide features and the future, it has a direct to consumer model, and it is entering into an EV market that is in decline - it spells disaster. Make the Scout available at all VW/Audi dealers - maybe even International...
