  • 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.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    There’s some DCFC that I’m not accounting for in this but that’s likely only 50-60 dollars worth. 99% of all energy used has been provided by the home level 2 charger that I can monitor.

    It should not lose charge that fast. It will likely take a number of days 4-5+ days. The other issue with EVs is that the manufacturers a placing smaller and smaller 12 volt batteries in them because they don't need a ton of energy and don't require a large amperage to start and run. With small...

    Quick Mileage update! Current Odometer is 25,211 Estimated fuel costs for previous vehicle, a 2020 Ford Edge AWD at 24 mpg with fuel at $3.50 gallon to go 25,211 miles = $3,676.60 Current energy cost for the Equinox over the same period = $1,528.00 Total estimated energy savings to date =...

    Lexus RZ chronicals-by my wife

    Not really a strange occurrence once you gain knowledge on how the systems work. The 12 volt battery provides the power for the contactors to open and close the circuit on the HV battery. When you shut the car off the contactors open so the HV battery isn't providing any power (can't trickle...

    Interior Dimensions

    Understand, not looking for early estimates, just know that there's likely a roadmap in place on when certain things are due for finalization and the interior is likely one of those things. Is it possible to give us a date "window" on when that information may finally be known? I'm fine with...

    Interior Dimensions

    If they'll allow a tape measure grab length width and height behind the second row and then the length from the rear of the center console to the back of the second row seat. This will give approximates of the prototypes at least. Hope will be that the final design is within 10 cubic feet of the...

    Interior Dimensions

    The final interior dimensions haven't been released publicly, at least that I can find. I've seen Cyure's iPhone dimensions on here but with these being hand built prototypes I don't want to put to much stock into those measurements. I can stand to lose some interior volume if I can gain...

    Interior Dimensions

    Not an excursion, the smaller version, expedition. Right now the Rivian R1S has similar space to the standard size expedition (it does lack some interior space) but also has additional storage in the frunk and under floor that the expedition lacks so it’s total cargo volume is almost exact...

    Interior Dimensions

    A lot has been talked about regarding exterior dimensions and Scout has provided those numbers... But what about the inside... With pre-production bodies beginning to be created (for fitment confirmation/validation), how soon can we expect until interior dimensions are provided? I'm very...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Took the equinox on it's first long road trip this weekend to visit family in WV. Had an interesting interaction with the onboard google map navigation system on android automotive OS. Where we were, there was no cell signal, but the vehicle knows where you last turned it off if you used...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    We arrived around 9:40 and were out by 11:45. Sales wasn’t pushy at all. They did want to make a sale but we let them know this was just to experience the Rivian brand for the first time and get an understanding of how their vehicles were laid out and what their infotainment was like compared to...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Had the chance to demo the R1S and R1Tthis morning. Was a fun experience, and the new Pittsburgh PA service center staff were fantastic to talk through and work with. I even managed to lock the key card in the car (on accident!), making this my second EV that I've inadvertently locked myself out...

    I went to the Ionna Charging Station that opened in Pembroke Pines and here is some feedback

    So, the partnerships that Ionna have with the retails chains: Sheetz, Wawa, Casey's etc... are fast tracked rechargeries. These are easier and quicker to get setup and get running. At several Sheetz locations Ionna chargers do have canopies, it's really about space limitations at these existing...

    I went to the Ionna Charging Station that opened in Pembroke Pines and here is some feedback

    Ionna does support plug-and-charge with some manufacturers. Unfortunately Tesla does not, at least yet, allow plug and charge at Ionna Stations.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I have appointments to test drive the Rivian R1T and R1S next Friday, figured It would be good to experience a non-legacy manufacturer's approach to building EVs. I'm willing to give the button free infotainment system a chance. Wanted to test an R2 but alas no open slots available for the...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    It's a great college, even with the party school label. The University has really invested in their infrastructure over the past 10 years. Apple Annie's was an excellent brunch spot, hope it's still a good spot, haven't stopped by in over 8 years.

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    This is what I was trying to convey, although really poorly I admit. For 1-5 hour trips, the time loss is negligible. For 14+ hour trips it adds up. We do a western PA to southwest FL trip around once a year. I try to stretch stops out as long as possible and then stop to let the dogs out...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    I deliberately queried for 350+ kW stations for that one image. You're correct that there are 150+ kw Stations in the state and I did point that out in one of my posts. I see it through the lens of no true "fast" chargers, from a 400 volt pack perspective while long distance road tripping. Most...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Morgantown was my college home for 5 years, ha. I still go through there for work a lot, Not really much in the way of fast chargers there yet, unless you're a Tesla. Only 150+ KW stations are two Tesla locations, both at Sheetz gas stations and only one is open to non-Tesla vehicles (Sabraton...

    One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

    Yep, WV has DCFC stations but most non Tesla stations have outputs of 50 kW to 150 kW with most landing between 62 kW and 120 kW at Ford and Chevy dealerships along major interstate corridors. Unless you own a Tesla, WV really is like the Midwest in some respects, regarding true fast chargers...
