  • 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.

    Coastal Vibes: The “Pacific Mist” Scout Traveler Concept

    You will be able to order it with or without. I'm sure where there is a will, there is a way, but I don't think the intent is for it to be removable due to the safety/engineering requirements.

    EREV initial release only?

    I/We don't know the launch cadence yet as there are still a LOT of moving pieces. I will say this to set expectations. This is a brand new factory that hasn't built any vehicles before. We have to bring everything online gradually to ensure we deliver a high-quality product. The initial ramp-up...

    EREV initial release only?

    When Scout was just a small group of people making a business case in 2021, the entire automotive market was saying everything was going BEV by 2030. We built the business case around a BEV-only strategy and announced in 2022 that Scout would be returning. Since then, EV adoption rates in our...

    Driving Sounds

    Basically all of it. AVAS, turn signal sounds, warning chimes, etc., etc. We will hold back on most of the actual final vehicle sounds, but the process is pretty cool and there are easter eggs...

    SCOUT TRAVELER FAQ

    I'm not so sure. Yes, there will be people who probably never plug it in. But, when you have the ability to go 150 miles with just battery electric and can just plug it in like your cell phone at night, and rinse and repeat without paying for any gas? That's a nice benefit. It is kinda nice...

    Jamie Vondruska On With ROMR

    In previous videos/podcasts ROMR had talked quite a bit about EREV and the potential there, especially since they are fans of getting out there offroad/overlanding/boondocking. BEVs are pretty straightforward, but EREV is newer with a lot of questions, so we talked about that a bit more. Plus we...

    SCOUT TRAVELER FAQ

    In normal driving situations, you will run out of fuel before you run out of battery. At that point you top off the fuel tank and keep driving.

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

    Scott is in San Francisco, but sometimes it requires some interpretation/clarification. :D We are working to close the remaining gaps in EREV and BEV development and market launch. Scott is confirming that we have more EREV reservations (the safer choice for many people on the fence about an...

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

    We have said publicly that we have more reservations for EREV than we do for BEV. That said, the final production sequence still needs to be nailed down before we make any official announcements on rollout timing. As most of you know, we started development of our BEV first. EREV is no small...
