  • 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.

    Volkswagen EVs to Get Tesla Supercharger Access

    Nope. First gen superchargers don’t support other vehicles. Lots of technical reasons I don’t fully understand, voltage, amps etc. but hopefully we will see upgrades at those first gen supercharger locations in the coming years!

    50 state vehicle

    I’ll call dibs on Idaho. We can showcase the natural wonders of Idaho from thousands spring, deep canyons of the snake and owhyees to the peaks of the sawtooths, ruggedness of River of No Return and the lakes of northern Idaho. We would need a harvester model due to our remoteness.

    Except you’ll have to purchase out of state :)

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    I can find a few spots here in Idaho where charging isn’t available especially if wanting to camp and use some electricity for a few days. That being said, a full bev may be better and keeping my 4xE for those very few times that the scout won’t cut it. 2 years to decide and flip back and forth...

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

    I’ve had my vaccines…something others may…. Nevermind not going there!

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

    Absolutely! Go back to 1982 or earlier and you have what you want! You are also welcome to decommission a new Scout EV and put in your v8–maybe even a v-12 and go on your way. For 600k I will make it happen.

    It’s called lightning charging…so much faster that dc chargers

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    I saw a pic of the 40/20/40 backseat which would be great to have the same split and adjustability up front. Allow you to move forward or back as needed the folded down middle seat when not being occupied by a little human or pet sidekick.

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    I think we have about 2 years before this will be available to purchase …. So I am not sure the reason to rush. Other hybrids are parallel, this will a series hybrid. I can tell you it will be a small under 2.0L 4 cylinder non turbo engine. 150 miles is the sweet spot for pure EV when you are...

    When I looked this wasn’t being manufactured in the region…however I agree that would fit the bill!

    The reveal of the Scout Traveler SUV and Scout Terra truck concepts ushers in a new Scout era - Official Press Release and Photos

    150 EV only will get most people to and from daily commutes which is 90-95% of driving. This is a sweet spot of range and value, especially if using LFP batteries. The harvester will be used for that 5-10% case scenario: hauling, backcountry exploring/camping, and long distance trips where EV...

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

    Love this. Any speculation on which 4 cylinder? All currently manufactured vw engines are turbos with direct injection (some have duel port though). I do worry about carbon buildup on direct injection engines if used as an erev. Thoughts or insights?

    Swore I’d never buy an EV, then Scout happened

    Rivian is Patagonia and Scout is Levi’s…which I love and appreciate how the CEO helps makes the connection for the consumer.

    Some suggestions that I believe would make Scout the best Electric Offroad option

    Welcome! Love your ideas.

    Cool Solution—Erev cooling

    In this idea I imagine the heat pump for cabin heating/cooling would be integrated into this coolant system similar to Tesla. I think it was revealed as a 4 cylinder engine—speculating around 80-100kw power based on current engines such as the EA211 with turbo and perhaps direct injection...

    Cool Solution—Erev cooling

    Yes, it is possible for an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) to have a single radiator with a heat exchanger between two cooling loops. This design is feasible and can be quite effective in managing the temperature of both the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the electric vehicle (EV)...

    Cool Solution—Erev cooling

    I was intrigued by the Motortrend interview with Scott Keogh. He highlighted a “cool solution” which was “smart and well thought out” for cooling the erev engine. Using some AI to educate myself I think it would be cool and smart to have a duel loop liquid hearing management system with a single...

    Any chance on flat four?

    Nice to know about Edison. The engines they are producing would fit nicely into heavy equipment erevs. The s13 specifically which currently has an integrated transmission. Its smaller then most v6s quiet and lighter…a erev dream. Also is more efficient with consistent HP at low rpms. With it...
