  • 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.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    I feel like it depends on how you look at it. Android Auto and CarPlay can be a solution as most people are attached to their phones in one way or another, you maps and media from that straight to the car is great. But after a week with Android Automotive I don’t miss either phone based...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I know scout going to have to try and please or appease a lot of people when it comes to their first vehicles as they will have many people coming from both electric and ice. As someone who has driven EVs for a couple years now and the large amount of that time has been in a 22 bolt with the...

    Lexus RZ chronicals-by my wife

    We leave our Keys in the laundry/mud room connected to the garage, the hornet doesn’t have any sort of greeting or approach sequence, but the blazer does and it seems to be the perfect distance as once the key crosses the threshold of the door

    I called my local Chevy dealer to schedule for a potential software update since my car said it had an update when I picked it up and when I got home and attempted to do the update, it said it failed rebooted the info entertainment and then now it says there’s no update and it was last updated...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    So this might be a little bit more niche but going from the Bolt to the blazer one thing software wise that the Bolt did that I really did prefer was when it finished charging it reset what was essentially a “trip B” essentially to zero. For a little bit more context on that in the center...

    Yeah, the kick sensor in my opinion is just better. For personal classification, I consider liftgate with button-based operation to be powered because they are, but the button means that they are manual in a sort of way, and I consider any operation that does not require direct input automatic...

    The blazer, It works as expected 90% of the time, I can’t tell what causes the other 10% but I think it has to do with if it was just opened or the car unlocked by the “passive” buttons on the handles I do wish if it started its count down and I step out of bounds and immediately back in it...

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    It’s only been a few days with the blazer, and while the Google infotainment system made me a little hesitant at first as I rely on my phone and maps for work, however I already use Google Maps anyway so this is the one True win I’d give GM with this system, my maps app allows my send and...

    I’m not sure if this post works, but I uploaded two short videos one of the blazer opening, and one of the hornet closing, it wouldn’t open for me until I stoped recording but it having touchless closing is really what I wanted to showcase anyway

    Power of course, but automatic is when your hands are full and you can signal the vehicle to open for you

    GM and their EV’s have a way to make them stay on longer than an hour because once the vehicle is on, there’s a button on the screen so long as it is in park that will tell the vehicle to run for one hour, but if you get in before starting it and press the accelerator pedal three times followed...

    Also the blazer doesn’t have a start button, personally I prefer it that way, however I liked how it works with the Rivian vans, you get close with the fob, the hvac would start, you get in and sit down the vehicle powered up you exit the seat and van stayed on until you got a certain radius...

    Yes, the bolt required a lock press before remote start the blazer is just double press, and as someone that doesn’t like to pull out my key it’s much easier to press the buttons for the blazer fob through my jeans

    I was already paying for OnStar on the bolt with WiFi and family location, and when I called to transfer my WiFi to the blazer I was given 3 months free of my subscription, but from my understanding the app is 95% pay to use for the EVs the SoC is available for for something like 8 years after...

    Well I honestly expected to arrive at Buc-ee’s with less battery remaining, and was hoping to check the peak charge speeds, but from 57% percent the highest was 70kw. I know some blazers had an issue with not going over 50kw no matter the SoC and the only way to be sure was to drain and test, we...

    Took the blazer out to test things out, and get used to it before getting back to work. Did over 300 miles today, the range estimates are pretty close, and the Google infotainment was underestimating percentage on arrival, the first 100 miles was to buc-ee's when I left it was estimating 50% and...

    That's understandable, around me the blazer was the best offer for an upgrade over the bolt, even got cheaper insurance

    The look alone was a big seller to me. My family has always been in Chevy with the occasional other US brand + Toyota, but the Honda and Acura versions of the blazer just don’t look right to me, the car will hopefully get me through to my scout

    Need? Sometimes, but really it came down to price, availability with features, and personal preference for the style. It’s the AWD with the 82kwh pack, so even less on the range than the other one they had, still for the occasions we need to travel and use DcFc it’s a reasonable upgrade from the...

    Well it kinda hurt, but Zap is gone and sentinel has taken its place.
