  • 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.

    June 2026 Scout Production Center Update

    Everything is coming along great. I mean, I've said this before. But this is like, an actual enclosed building, that is starting to look like an actual factory. And whats more, the first welded bodies mean that work is actually starting to be done (given, its early stages, and test stuff...

    Front Bench Center Airbag – Safety Request

    100% agree. And not just front airbag for the person in the front middle. I've recently been more attuned to the center airbags intended to help reduce injury in a side impact, having just recently lost a family member to a car accident. So yes, please, be very safe.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Ok, so, I AI'd it, with a design I had in my mind. Took a few iterations, but I'm actually pretty happy with the result. The vertical axis is how fast my car can charge, higher is better. My vehicle tops out around ~230kw. So if you charge it on a charger that is faster than it is capable of...

    Would be cool to track our builds through the factory

    I thought about that too actually but wasn’t sure how scout corporate would like the concept of “tipping” people for building the vehicle they were already being paid for. Seems like it could cause some friction. But, I do like the idea. I’m sure something could be done. And it certainly would...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Ack. I’ll see what I can cook up, to visualize the difference between charging a car on a charger that is faster than the car can accept it, and one that is slower than the cars maximum speed. I’m not, not a visual person. But I do like numbers. So I’ll see what I can do.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    IMO, actually tracking how far you're driving at a time (miles/time), and how long the stops are taking you, is the first step to really understanding if a BEV will work for you. Once you have that, you can start playing around with tools like ABRP, and figure out if you can make it work. 2-3...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    This prompted me to check my avg stop time more empirically than I had before. My avg charging time across the 14 sessions, was 24min 36 seconds, with an avg ending SOC of 88%. Some of that higher percentages were probably due to "the safety blanket" feeling of having more charge to play with...

    Would be cool to track our builds through the factory

    Alternatively... You could send virtual hi-fives to the people building your scout, or like even display who it is, how long you were a reservation holder, or if you've got some cool story about why you are interested/buying. Could be an interesting two way street for this one.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    This is a great point. I was thinking about this lately on my trip, but didn't want to do the math. Well, I threw AI at it, and tossed the charging curve data for my Ioniq 9 (data), and had it do the math I was too lazy to do. Our Ioniq 9 holds over 150kw from 2%, up until about 71-72%. But it...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Oh, thats interesting. I've mostly ignored Tesla Superchargers in my searches for DCFC so far. Also, I will note that the while 50kw chargers are "technically" fast charging... for your average EV on the road today, you're talking over an hour of charging time, maybe up into the 2-3hr time...

    Warranty Considerations

    In this case, the ICE motor is likely from an estabilished catalog of engines, so its "less" of a worry (imo anyway). Also, while there are less things to go wrong with an EV, things can still go wrong. I'd assume its mostly because its still "relatively" early days for electric vehicles. So...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I'm sure a road tripping pro like you will have no issues. My one takeaway from that route, is I would try to avoid the Electrify America chargers in Huntington Oregon next time. Really expensive ($0.64/kwh iirc), only 3 out of 4 were working, and not my favorite stop in general. So we skipped...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I've shared this before, but adding here in case its helpful. I've done exactly one road trip in my EV so far. ~850 miles from Seattle area PNW, to SLC. We hop/skipped through a sort of charging desert, and made it without too much drama. Experience documented here (all links to the same...

    Is it just me or should Scout have gone this route

    Welcome! I think the 2 door version is much more likely to be a doors off/roof off sort of design. Or maybe a more dedicated offroad model/trim in the future. And if that is the case, I'd love a Solid front axle. On the plus side, at least this is at least close-ish to the predecessors, not...

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    SOC should hopefully be in the driver display, not just the infotainment screen (there are definitely cases where both go out, but just stating that in most vehicles other than single screen vehicles, the driver display/gauge cluster is a different display from the "infotainment" screen in the...

    Off-topic stuff…

    North Cascade National Park, Diablo lake. It’s in northwestern Washington, northeast of Seattle by 3hrs or so, or a bit south, mostly west from Bellingham. They’re incredibly rare in Washington, west of the cascades. So we were super surprised to see one.

    What’s your purchasing plan?

    I presume a launch edition is coming first, and that the price won't be the $60k price. Of course, this is just conjecture. But it is how the recent releases seem to go. Launch editions tend to be fancier/higher trim (looking at the R2 launch, and Cybertruck launches as examples). As long as...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I believe the correct term for a group of moose, is "MOOSEN". (Brian Regan reference for the uninitiated)

    Off-topic stuff…

    Moose photo time? Perfect! (I've only seen one here, and it was startled out of the woods near a youth camp/group thing. Some kid peed' in the woods by the edge of the lake, and it came busting out and ran right through the middle of the group... of maybe 20-30 of us?). You can see how...

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

    Jeep Recon pricing and mileage is official. Only a single trim (Moab). 33in tires, 9.1in of ground clearance, 100kwh battery, 28min 5-80% charge time. $67k, and 222 mile range. https://electrek.co/2026/06/19/jeeps-off-road-ev-on-sale-for-67000-range-comes-up-short/ I'm sort of amazed how it...
