  • 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.

    Total square footage of all the buildings on the property. Actually pencils out slightly higher. :D

    Trim names…

    There are practical issues (servicing, ease of replacing those that get damaged, etc.,etc.) If it is too small or too flimsy, it can cause a number of issues. Supporting the NACS plug means we don't need to cover the same space considerations as the older-style plugs, which were much larger. So...

    Swap parts between terra and traveller

    To answer your question best I can at this early stage, it is in our best interest cost-wise and inventory-wise to utilize as many common parts as we can. How that plays out in the end product remains to be seen, but I would expect there to be a lot of carryover. They are the same common...

    Speculation - will Scout use the new EV battery announced by VW?

    My Q6 (shared with Macan EV) has decent range and great charging curve.

    I have to say though that my Audi Q6 EV which is basically a mid-size SUV in a mid-level trim, does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Honestly? It doesn't brake any better than a big SUV, it doesn't handle better than a big SUV, so in the end the very, very quick acceleration is WAY more than adequate for...

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

    I think all of us at Scout have had the situation where someone socially asks where you work/what do you do and you tell them Scout and most people have no idea. Things will radically change when vehicles are on the road.

    Scout Traveler Spirit of '26

    With a nod to Scout history and the 250th birthday of America this Fourth of July, Scout Motors has created a tribute to the original Scout Spirit of '76 and Scout Patriot models with our own Spirit of '26 livery. Here is a link to our Scout Stories piece on the history of the Spirit/Patriot...
