  • 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.

    Off-topic stuff…

    You have to remember that an auto is not an appreciating asset (with few exceptions and very long after production). It’s an asset that depreciates with use, no getting around that. That’s how I approach buying a car. Will it serve me for the anticipated time of use? That’s going to be an...

    The problem with the Telo is you are the first one at the accident. Everything else about it is compelling.

    Ok SM, here’s a perfect theme for a Scout commercial. Old VW commercial that echos what you can see in my 6-ScoutFamily memories thread with a ‘76 Scout.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    My 4 cylinder Scout was kind of like that too.

    Interesting article, but Slate and Telo are competitors with each other, not Scout.

    If they do the new Terra, I will buy it and put it on the mantle to look at every day. As a kid I had nearly everything they made, this was the early ‘60’s.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    IIRC KC did not specify why they were underpowered. In addition to the motor there is the generator output, and the power output of the electric motors & HV battery. Pinning the issue on just the motor size is an incomplete picture.

    Yes, we just don’t have those specs yet. Once announced, either buy the Scout—or don’t. —OR— Buy the Scout, gut the electrics, and put your own ICE power train in. Easy Peasy! ;)

    Uh, is this a tongue-in-cheek observation?
