  • 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.

    It is also an entirely predictable concern, as I know because when I bought my Scout it had a very heavy duty swing away tire carrier mounted on the rear bumper. I eventually had the tire carrier cut off, because the latch mechanism was cheap, and I immediately discovered the benefits of not...

    Just learned about this, which was posted in October 2022 Well, nobody ever accused me of being fast. If other sources I found are correct, 207 inches long with a crew cab.

    The truth of the matter is I have dreams much bigger than my budget and my space for storing cars. Because I would also like to learn how to do this (on a closed course, of course): In a car that looks like what Steve McQueen drives in this but has been converted to EV: So we shall see...

    Slate is interesting but it has several issues. See: https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/12/slate-auto-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-bezos-backed-ev-startup/ 1. Some people don't like a company backed by the billionaire from Amazon. Even if I give that guy a pass, I'm not supporting...

    I remember people use to remove the tailgate on their small trucks. I always thought it was a superstition about improved fuel economy. Also, people would remove the tailgate and use a net instead, like this: https://realtruck.com/p/covercraft-pro-runner-tailgate-net/ So maybe somebody at...

    Bravo, bravo for this. I'm starting to think about getting a mid 80's Toyota pickup (that's Hilux to the rest of the world) and converting it to electric instead of buying a Terra, which is way more vehicle than I need or want.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    I put our 2012 Subaru Outback in the driveway tonight, it basically takes the whole length. According to Edmunds.com the length of 2012 Subaru Outback is 188.2 inches. So I can probably fit the Traveler, especially if I can take the rear tire off for daily driving and only put it on when...

    Waiting for Scout, I leased an Ioniq 5. Here are things I'd like to Improve and as they relate to Scout Terra or Traveler

    The 2026 Ioniq 5 I leased has this control in the key fob where when I am outside the car I can have the Ioniq pull into or out of a parking space. It is a bit finicky to get it to work, and I mainly use it for backing in when I've got the car lined up with a charging space but I didn't manage...

    Heads-up display with navigation.

    To be serious for a moment, my first car with built in navigation is the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5. My previous daily was a 2011 Subaru Outback and I made sure to get the trim level that had the moonroof but not the built in Navigation unit as I preferred to use my phone or my passenger when I...

    This lower quality has been a steady trend unfortunately. In the 1990s, maybe late 80s, my Grandmother did not want to replace her York air conditioner for her house because it had been working fine for 50 years and she feared the new ones would only last ten years. She was not wrong. On the...

    For consideration, a few links from Howard Yu. I just discovered this guy and so far I am impressed with his written analysis, for a b-school professor he far exceeds expectations. The video in the 2nd link was too long for me and too much "A Current Affair", if you remember that TV show...

    Heads-up display with navigation.

    I like the HUD in my 2026 Ioniq 5, but I wouldn't require it to be a feature in any future car. The main benefit of the HUD is that it is easier for me to read my speed on the HUD than on the dash display because of how my view of the speedometer on the dash is partly blocked by the steering...

    I'm pretty skeptical of new tech, but headlights that can project movies is such a fun idea I'm sad it never occurred to me. Regarding Chinese software being terrible, have you used Windows, Workday, Atlassian, Sharepoint, or Office 365 lately? I have complaints about all them, just from...

    I disagree with this paragraph "For decades, buying a new car in America followed the same recipe: go to a dealership, take a car for a test drive, and then watch some finance manager draw the four quadrants out on a piece of paper while negotiating the final price. This method is so deeply...

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    We are a one car garage. One of the costs of living in San Diego. I guess I better measure the driveway and see if I can even fit without blocking the sidewalk, otherwise the only option is parking on the street, which is doable but a pain for charging from the garage.

    Don't let the Scout become a status symbol; why $60k misses the point of the Revival

    This is actually a concern and a reason I may pass on the Scout Terra and hope for something smaller in the 2nd generation Fortunately someone already did the comparison to the Scout II, see here: https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/scout-dimensions-updated-on-our-website.1135/ Which I...
