  • 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.

    Oh totally. I hope my comment isn't misinterpreted to say that I don't think Scout should be paying attention to/visiting denser urban areas. They should. I guess, personally (selfishly?), I think the Scout Heritage fits more rural environments a bit better (which I think is why they revealed...

    With the vibe of the Scouts being more outdoor focused, it could be cool to have some more events that are less in cities. But again, thats just a "me" thing.

    We don't know the exact efficiency. But because we know the battery pack sizes (ballpark), and the estimated range, you can estimate with at least reasonable-ish figures. The Harvester (EREV) is said to have 150 miles of range (EDIT: to clarify, I mean 150 miles of EV range, before gas kicks...

    On my summer road trips, that is a solid 20mph under the speed limit. So its 20-30mph slower than most other travelers on the road. That would even be 10mph slower than the limit for semi-trucks. I get going slower for efficiency. But at a certain point it becomes a safety issue. I will...

    Great! I'm hoping that this is a teaser pulled from footage used for a longer form version of this same video?

    R2 Launch Watch

    Agreed. Apples to apples and all of that. Because there were always odd standouts where overall length could overlap on vehicles of different sizes. For instance, the Toyota T100 regular cab longbed, was also a 209in overall length, just like the F150 XL Regular cab with a 6.5ft bed. But...

    Well naturally. Because thats the worst take. I hope they lose well and truly. That said, I hope they find a different venue next time. Its a personal thing I suppose, but I'm not a big fan of large crowds or dense urban areas. In my time in the general Seattle area, I've been into Seattle...

    My Jeep is nearly 30yrs old, so I understand. 250 miles is pretty optimistic anymore (although TBH, I don't do long road trips with that vehicle anymore). Just mentioning for people who are looking at EV range.

    I know you saw this in my other thread, but chiming in here all the same. Just pointing out that ~320 mile EPA range, doesn't typically mean ~250 miles between stops, at least with a BEV at highway speeds. My EV has an EPA rated 320 mile range. The longest stretch I've ever done on the highway...

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

    FWIW, I don't think we'll really see double the range with SSB's when they come out. I do think that we'll see range continue to improve though. I think 300 miles will start to be sort of the minimum size that we'll see in "normal" ev's, with more premium stuff in the ~400-450 mile range (which...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    I've got dewalt tools, and have been considering a chainsaw. Which one do you have/use? I see there are a bunch of models. My issue is that most of the trees on my property are tiny. Well, I guess not "tiny" anymore, but still in the ~1-3in diameter range, and then the larger ones are in the...

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

    I missed this thread the first time around. I can't say that I haven't have similar thoughts. I know that SSB's are still not ready for prime time, and have been "a few years out" for years and years. But it really does seem like the consensus of the industry is that we're getting pretty...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I have a certain clutter-ness threshold in the garage that when crossed, I feel I can no longer do anything useful in there. For me its when the workbench gets so full of "things" that I cannot do the thing I need to do, and/or when the floor gets so cluttered with things I have a hard time...

    Lexus RZ chronicals-by my wife

    Excellent! Having just a few weeks ago done my first ever charging away from home, I can totally relate with many of these feelings. I think it’s a great idea for anyone who is doing a road trip to do a test charge at a fast charger (preferably the network(s) you’ll be using), just to make...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    My two cents? NACS... doesn't really matter to me. I have a vehicle with it... and I've had to use an adapter every single time I've ever fast charged, because all the chargers I saw had CCS ports. Tesla Superchargers are all NACS, and so all the commentary you see about NACS ports being...

    Adding a bit more here. https://insideevs.com/news/800125/bmw-ix5-neue-klasse-ev-electric-suv/ Its got some seriously impressive stats. 144kwh usable battery pack size, 435 mile EPA range, peak charging rate of 460kw, and 10-80% charge time of 22 minutes. For reference, here is my Hyundai...

    I went to the Ionna Charging Station that opened in Pembroke Pines and here is some feedback

    It was one of those "facepalm" moments for me. I'd also never thought about it, but in hindsight, it is totally obvious. Some places, its not so bad. But we were cruising along freeways surrounded by median in the center and active farmland on both sides, for miles, at dusk. Sometimes the...

    I went to the Ionna Charging Station that opened in Pembroke Pines and here is some feedback

    This. Canopies, yes. But also. WINDOW WASHING STUFF, just like a gas station. Most people hardly ever DC Fast Charge, unless they're on a road trip. And road tripping, means bugs all over the windshield. On my recent trip, exactly 1 station out of 14 had anything to clean the windows with...

    Satellite connectivity

    Agreed. A dongle like solution works fine for me. An L15 is fine, but we an L14-30R, or a 15-50R would be great. And for some reason we need to do a 120v plug/dongle, please, please make it at least a 20amp, or even better, a TT-30.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Curious to hear your thoughts. I'm a bit bummed to see the cheapest models of the R1's dropped. But it makes sense given now there is an R2 to offer to more price conscious buyers, and helps increase the average selling price/margin on the R1's. I did think about the R1S for a while there, but...
