  • 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.

    I don’t believe it either. Respected youtube geek Matt Ferrel from “undecided” has a good video about it. He speculated that it might actually be a capacitor rather than an actual solid state battery (with no lithium), which could explain the “tunable voltage”, but that still wouldn’t add up...

    But consider the careful wording, most folks probably do want a “showroom” experience, a big space with cars on display where you can see them up close, sit in them and take them for test drives, maybe even have knowledgeable people to answer questions. But nobody wants a “dealer” experience...

    @Jamie@ScoutMotors - this seems to be a common problem. Is there any way the forum style can be tweaked so that links are highlighted in a predictable way? Eg underlining? I’ve been confused by this many times.

    I think in some cases the steering wheel controls were capacitive touch button, as bad as touch screens.

    That was August. My understanding from recent reporting is that the “model T” and the TTT were both cancelled.

    The thing I find so surprising about fords dramatic change in direction is that until very recently the ceo understood that if they’re going to survive internationally they need to get really good at building and selling EVs. Not that long ago he was saying that a Chinese ev was the best car...

    Concern about the complexity and cost of repairs/maintenance for EREV

    Make steering wheel sportier

    in the cars I’ve driven with start stop buttons, tapping it while the car is in motion won’t shut it down, you’d have to hold it for several seconds which would trigger an emergency shutdown. Note that the ability to do this is one of the safety advantages of having the button. There was a...
