  • 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.

    What Song Will You Play First in Your New Scout?

    For the whole time I owned my Subaru Outback, I had these three CDs in the 6 disc changer, just in case. One of these two, think it was the first, but might have been the second So I vote for a 6 disc changer instead of the single player.

    This might help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dukes_of_Hazzard_(film_soundtrack) No offense meant if you are not a fan. The movie was silly, if I recall correctly, but they handled the flag issue really well I thought. Showed how you can take something that has not stood the test of time...

    What Song Will You Play First in Your New Scout?

    Dropkick Murphys were a band that was sort of on my radar, so to speak, like an east coast version of Flogging Molly. Then I learned about Dropkick Murphys doing an album that was all Woody Guthrie songs and I was hooked. I actually bought this CD and the second CD also of Woody Guthrie...

    The last time I remember valet parking. I'm sure I've done it since, just didn't stick in my head as noteworthy.

    Two more I recently learned Bowie wrote a rejected, and allegedly terrible, version of this song before Paul Anka wrote the hit we all know today

    Also Scout Motors should be planning ahead for how to adapt their production lines to run multiple models at once that expand their TAM (total addressable market). And, as I frequently tell myself, the best time to get something difficult done was yesterday. The next best time is today.

    What Song Will You Play First in Your New Scout?

    A lot of great songs listed in this thread, so I decided to list four I did not see already listed. Two from the 80s and two that are more recent Ok, one bonus link because this was actually the first song I thought of when reading these posts, but someone already mentioned it. Also...

    Subaru has 2 AWD cars on the list and there are also 2 EVs. I agree a BEV that has 4WD is probably difficult, but again I say, Scout SSV https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/car-of-the-week-1979-international-scout-ssv-100-coupe-prototype Would it sell now? I don't know, and we will never know if it...

    What? I don't normally think of the person at the valet stand when purchasing a car, but I guess... it could be a consideration for someone who valet parks regularly :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    Get a vehicle that relies on the phone for it's data connection, like I understand the Slate will do? You raise a very valid point that I do not have an answer for. I also would not count on being able to disconnect the antenna as it seems likely that vehicles will have multiple antennas in...

    Re: specifically "GPS being one way tech is one of the greatest lies ever told" Cars, especially Tesla which I don't trust farther than Elon's outstretched and slightly upward tilting arm, may be different. I design the RF chips that go in phones. GPS receivers have no transmit capability...

    This seems to need more clarification than the other post about data collection by car manufacturers. GPS receivers by themselves are receivers, they cannot send out your information. Tracking requires two parts, first GPS or other position location technologies to know where you are located...

    True story I was told. Motorola tested their pagers for vibration resistance by giving to the motorcycle police in Florida, who were using Harley Davidson motorcycles at the time (maybe they still are, we should ask Dave Barry).

    That $8.50 station is pretty close to Union Station. Is there a rental car return there?

    Do the po-po give you five minutes to replace your tire and get on the run again? That hasn't been my experience (because I've never run from the police) As always YMMV. :ROFLMAO:

    A friend posted this on their instagram a few days ago. He is probably posting from California, but as his username implies, he travels around a lot so I'm not sure where he was for this one. This is a non negligible reason to want Scout Motors BEVs to succeed. It is so nice not having to pay...

    The second part about when was the last time you needed a spare is a good point. I actually remember the last time I needed a spare, it was around 2005 when my Toyota, I don't remember how, had a flat in the REI parking lot. Around 2015, I got a bolt in one of the front tires of my Subaru...
