  • 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.

    The Start/Stop Button

    I am getting in the car and changing the charging settings approximately 1:4. During the week, I charge at work from 110. Once a week I charge at home overnight from 220 and I want to use scheduled charging off peak only. During the weekend, I need to switch back to all the time charging when...

    Colton Goes to Scottsdale | Scout Motors Event at FourtillFour Cafe

    Second the request for interior pictures. irrelevant info below 1. I always meant to go to Fourtillfour Encinitas. Never managed to make it before they temporarily closed up shop. 2. I grew up a bit down 99 from Modesto, in Clovis. I'm impressed Colton is making the trip to Scottsdale. Have...

    The Start/Stop Button

    Why did I think of this example? Let me share some Scout photos from Sunday. There was a big broken branch on the road. Decent quality wood, I wanted to get it out of the way and maybe find a use for it later, or firewood if that is all it is good for.

    I'd seen the term "Hot Hatch" in a headline, but I didn't really grasp what it was. So I found this article: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/here-are-nine-electric-hot-hatches-past-present-and-future The challenge for SM, is that they need to focus on getting their current vehicles...

    The Start/Stop Button

    Agreed, except, don't put it on the steering wheel. Put it on the dash, immediately the right of the steering wheel for left hand drive vehicles.

    The Start/Stop Button

    Disclaimer: I am making an assumption here that Scout Motors will primarily sell in North America, and many customers will be people who are coming from gas or diesel vehicles. If I am wrong about that, then maybe my perspective here is also wrong. That disclaimer out of the way, the most...

    Oh, that's because that problem is solved. For your emergency get away needs you have to plan ahead and hire these guys :)

    The Start/Stop Button

    Two pushes on a infortainment touch screen to turn off the vehicle? That would be immediate disqualification from consideration for me. On my current vehicle, I wish there was a button turn the vehicle on and off in accessory mode, because when I plug in to 220V/24A I want to switch to...

    I'm not an expert in this, my guess is sensing another car can reliably done as long as the "smart car" is equipped with automotive radar, probably of the 77GHz kind. My Ioniq 5 is amazing at what it can sense, for example cars coming down the street behind me when I am backing out of the...

    More likely: Little Honda Acty Van vs. GMC Vandura Less likely: copyright concerns

    How did you find out about the new Scouts?

    I'll to try to make this a short story about how I came to be interested in Scout Motors. Around 2003 I saw the short film French Fries to Go at a traveling movie festival. Didn't know what the truck in it was, but thought the convertible 4WD alternative fuels vehicle was cool (reference...

    There are people working on this. They have been laying the groundwork for more than 10 years, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_V2X Will there be enough vehicles with this capability in the next 10 to 15 years that you observe a difference in how you experience driving...

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    This could work for some people. I am not a watch wearer and I am also not an Apple iPhone owner. So the cost to get a special watch just to unlock the door would lose out to a much simpler solution, make sure the truck has an inconspicuous attachment point where I can hang a lockbox with a...

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    I'm not familar with that but it sounds like the right idea. I'll check in to it. Edit: again not sure on if it is cool to post links to other companies, but I looked into it a bit and there is quite a discussion about exactly this problem and solution at...

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    I didn't see this suggestion previously, and based on my recent trip to Death Valley I had an idea. Can Scout offer a short range and high resolution imaging radar on the front bumper for a cost of $500 to $1000? I was traveling in a group of 3 trucks and was always the 2nd or 3rd truck. With...

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    Keypad access is great, but really any way to unlock the vehicle that does not require me to carry an electronic key with me is best. Specific case I am thinking of is surfing. I don't want to have to fiddle with taking a key into the water and making sure I don't short it out. Never had this...

    Interesting idea. I have reserved RV campsites because that was all that was left in the area for car camping and I wanted a campsite with access to showers. I also know of businesses like gyms that you can pay a small day use fee and they understand full well you are paying to use their...

    Is this an XRT? I was told they were very hard to get, so congrats. I had to "settle" for a different AWD model. I'm happy with it. The red car is my neighbors. We were parked next to each other and I took the photo to quiz people which car is faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile :). The C8 wins...
