  • 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.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    A Better Route Planner says your one-way trip out would use 419 kWh and take 13 hours, 50 minutes. One of the reasons I don’t use it is it’s super conservative and always suggests I stop before I need to. It suggests you need 3 stops to get there. If you can charge on a hotel charger, it’ll be...

    Spare Tire

    And not just rotational mass, but the distance of that mass from the center of the rotation. Generally, tires are heavier than wheels, so going to a larger wheel could reduce total rotational inertia which could reduce total power required to rotate that tire, if you keep the same overall...

    If you add in the cost to fill up at home, it will be about $37.15 for gas and about $19.89 to fill up on electricity, bringing the total estimated costs to: Gassy Supra: $312.70 BEV Scout: $303.79

    Close enough. I used average costs in IL and SC for DCFC, and an average cost of electricity in IL for home charging. I also assumed an overnight charge on a free L2 at the hotel.

    I’m curious about your times. If I’m reading this correctly, it took you approximately 13 hours to go 691 miles? That’s 53 mph average. That suggests to me that you stopped for a meal at least once? Maybe twice? Assuming that’s the case, then your total trip time shouldn’t be any different on...

    Wheel Style Poll

    Wheel #4 is my preferred wheel of what we’ve seen.

    I would much rather see a bunch of options that are separate from each other so I can pick and choose instead of the typical thing where if you want a decent offroad suspension you also have to pay for a glass roof that you don’t want.

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

    Okay. Today, when configuring the vehicle...as far as I can tell, it’s not possible to add a spare to the purchase without going through the Gear Shop interface. I believe it can be ordered to show up with the vehicle on delivery day, but it’s technically sold through the Gear Shop rather than...

    Spare Tire

    I’m in my 50s and have won a (local, not regional) powerlifting competition. I’m not a weak person. I have trouble lifting, aligning, and installing a 35 or 37 on my trucks when doing tire rotations. It’s not just weight, it’s also all of the dexterity issues with getting that wheel to slip...

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

    That’s a great deal. They sold it to you through the Gear Shop, though, right? They allowed you to include it in your order, lease/loan, etc., and it looked like it was part of the order, but you had to go into the accessories to purchase it—it wasn’t part of the vehicle purchase in what might...

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

    Fair enough. I’m basing this on the concepts, which we know are not 100% true to the final product. To add to the goalpost motion… If I remember correctly, the 37” tires on the Terra in Scottsdale were BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO3, 37X12.5R18LT. That tire is 75+ pounds, just the tire. The...

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

    Also, I think it’s very unlikely that a 37” tire will be available from the factory. And it’s even unlikely that one will be able to fit a 37” spare in the tire carrier. Borrowing some photos from @cyure... Here’s a photo of a 35” tire in the carrier. There’s not a ton of space on either side...

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

    I didn't think it's that odd. If my guesses are correct, their options are basically: Make the tire carrier + spare tire + jack kit a deletable option in the configurator and have it selected by default for all trims. Make the tire carrier + spare tire + jack kit an add-on option in the...

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

    I did some basic scaling analysis of the graphics given by Scout Motors related to the size of the vehicle. Assumption: While the vertical to horizontal scaling may not be accurate, it’s reasonable to assume that the scale doesn’t change in one dimension. So the scale used by the drawing...

    I love both, but I think my disappointment in the Silverado and unwillingness to go back to an End-of-Life Lightning means that at this moment, there is only one mid-sized or full-sized BEV pickup out there that might be worth owning, and that’s the Rivian R1T. I don’t see the move from...

    In some future-focused states, vinyl stick-on plates are legal to use. https://sfstandard.com/2023/12/18/california-front-license-plate-wraps-dmv/

    To me it’s a truck. I recently moved our reservation from Traveler to Terra. They’re both trucks. One just happens to have an open bed useful for things I don’t want in the cabin of my truck.

    I much prefer the visibility out of the rear window of the Terra compared with the Silverado EV. I hope it stays as good as the concepts show.

    It would be a good choice for durability, of course, just not for flexibility/removability.
