  • 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.

    Scout delayed??

    It's all good. Duplicate posts are common, particularly when people are scanning topic titles to see if something has been posted. As pointed out, everything is moving forward and when/if we have anything to announce, we will always post it here ASAP.

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

    The German publications love their headlines and "sources say" articles - it all makes for good headlines people click on. We are still moving full steam ahead, bringing Scout back to market. Everything is moving forward and making good progress. Much like the guy who is balancing spinning...

    Harvester Battery Stage of Charge Question

    <details here are subject to change of course> The software will always consider your current power consumption, speeds, and destination (if you entered it into the nav system) to determine when to start the engine/generator to stay ahead of power consumption. Most often, the engine will fire...

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    Good question. I can try and find out.

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    It isn’t an EA288. It will be an engine modified and simplified for our use.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    We will support phone mirroring. 😎 These companies require contracts and money to make official claims.

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    We are very aware of the concern here and the teams are working towards final numbers that close the gap. Stay tuned...

    New Spotlight

    No. That was one of the earlier concept car builds done before the current reveal vehicles. It doesn't have an actual interior (thus the dark-tinted windows).

    Website updates

    All on our list of things to improve. :D

    Website updates

    We are in the process of working on a big refresh of the website. We are also working on a visualizer to be released later this year. Lots going on, so hang in there.

    Damn those are sweet. Porsche will cut through the wind rather nicely. The bus might be more of an aerodynamic drag on things. Let's see where the final numbers come out for Traveler. I'm sure there will also be a whole lot of YouTube video tests trying to push the limits right away.

    Local Day 1 Reservation Holder Also Interested in Product Testing

    Welcome to the Scout Community! Truthfully the list of people offering to test vehicles has been so large we couldn’t even track them all. 😁 Being close to the factory could be a benefit to you in the future as we plan to have a customer experience center with an off-road course. In fact, I...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    No, sorry, that is an employee gift. Hopefully things should be shipping soon.

    Under normal use it will run out of fuel first before running out of battery. So you can gas and go. For many smaller towing needs (boats, flatbed race car trailer, overland tent trailer) the Terra Harvester may be fine for your use. You might have to drive slower in some conditions to conserve...

    China has a similar geographic size issue like the US where people need to drive long distances and the infrastructure is still young. So EREV for now makes sense for some people.

    March 14-15 Overland Expo Socal

    Eventually yes. But hardcore gearhead events like Overland and SEMA require something a bit better than a fragile, hand-built concept. We will be there in the future though.

    Center Screen

    And room for people's legs in the center bench seat. :D

    Center Screen

    Actually, the bench seat option and the required clearance (plus airbag deployment) dictated the rectangular screen more than anything.
