  • 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

    OK, so I guess I am as local as you might get (about 2.5 hours North of Columbia) since nobody else has chimed in. My best guess with what I see in the forecast below and from what is typical is that there are chances for rain increasing chances after 1PM (late evening most likely). These...

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    I'm excited for you and can't wait to see the photos. And I hope it cools off a bit down here. Today's "feels like" temperature is predicted to be 106.

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    I think this is old news. There were issues with wetlands impact and local rivers. However, Richland County was ultimately responsible for preparing and managing.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    The Traveler had me at Tahitian Red. I like the other colors, but I got imprinted with the Tahitian Red.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    It was at the last Blythewood event with the Terra and Traveler, so ALL senses. The white Traveler kinda tasted like white chocolate! :ROFLMAO:

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    You really should get off the interstate there and take a casual drive by. Obey any signage and don't cross any secure areas. The Training Center parking lot is a nice viewpoint if still open to the public. This is a photo of the Training Center from the road between the interstate and plant...

    Lexus RZ chronicals-by my wife

    When my wife's Lexus NX-300 Sport (turbo-ICE) was new it wasn't driven much as she was afraid to park it at WalMart or Alde (protecting it from idiots and those that don 't care about others' property). After she totaled her Civic (everybody was OK) she had to drive her Lexus regularly and of...

    Sorry. I should've saved that story until you were back home.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    In SC, it was common to joke or speak of being "sent to BullStreet" for being mentally unstable. Here is some history from AI... "The South Carolina State Hospital, historically known as the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum, opened in 1828 on Bull Street in Columbia. As one of the oldest public...

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    One of the Scout events was at the Blythewood Training Center. It is close enough to get a good view of the plant if they haven't gated it since then. It would be worth taking the exit off I-77 and parking at the Training Center to take in the massive construction. It lets reality set in. I...

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    I popped in just to see what's going on and saw that you're coming to SC. I am so happy for you. Sadly, I can 't make it to this event even though it is only a couple of hours away. I agree with @Scout_Lookout on these recommendations. The Biltmore House is amazing, but you may be strapped for...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Rough layout for about 1/3 of the under deck membrane over taped joists. The open end will have counter flowing membrane to direct water to gutter attached to cantilever beam. Some folks cut strips for each joist bay. I chose to do it the hard way and wrestle with the heavy sheets. I'll have...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    My neighbor let me have his cable tension gauge that he used on his cable system. Not getting inspected, but with 9 grand-kids, I want to be sure they can't squeeze through. That's the reason I don't want to go with the horizontal cables. I can see them climbing it like a cable ladder.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I am with you on the OCD grain alignment. The Cortex hidden plugs come collated now so that you can easily align the grain.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Yep, you guys are right. First of all, the original deck was all pressure treated lumber which lasted 38 years (2x6's on 2x8 joists that were 24" on center). The original would not meet code today. Realizing the PT lumber is not what it used to be, my frame is 2x10 joists, 12" oc, each joist...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I've been away from the community for a while working on replacing my deck. I feel like I've missed out on a lot and it could be some time before I can get back here to catch up. I hope all of you are doing well. I'll be back soon, I hope.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Sorry about all that, but will be looking forward to seeing what you do with your new ride. Also, hope things fall into place so that we get to find out what you do with your new BEV Terra.
