  • 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.

    Trim names…

    I like it clean. I like it simple. I would probably debadge another name added onto the truck given "Scout's" prominence already.

    Charging at a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger Site

    Its all quite intuitive, IF you follow the instructions in the app when you select your charging location! LOL

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    That is great. N of 1 example, but viable use case for you. Don't be fooled into thinking everyone is the same. There are plenty of others here that can get creative with the BEV for certain off-road use cases (with power for camping too). Not everyone will need for the added complexity or...

    Can't wait to see a first responder Scout... This just popped on my LI feed from Atlanta Fire and Rescue. Makes perfect sense. Nice build too:

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    WUT? 9%??? The new PURE BEV TERRA Line Chart has been released and it looks like this 🏒 LFG!!!!

    Charging at a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger Site

    A wrapped Silverado from some sort of EV service company pulled up to the charger next to mine and the guy couldn't figure it out AT ALL. And, to make it worse, he had an adapter out already. I tried to explain to him that he didn't even need the adapter (which he was unsuccessfully trying to...

    Charging at a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger Site

    In the spririt of helping those new to charging, I was on a road trip this week, took a ferry, got to my location and wanted to charge-up so I would be set for the duration of my stay. There was a charging station near my hotel, which happened to be a Tesla Magic Dock location. For those that...

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    Yes, enhanced wheel and tire tire change functionality is "built in" to the Rivian SERVICE menu. You can report which wheels and tires you are running, which is then used by the truck to determine accurate range estimates and track mileage automatically at rotation as well. Really nice interface...

    Yes, these are a def a thing. One example:

    Drivers not happy with their car screens

    Good news - well, if you consider the Rivan JV, leveraging zonal architecture, and what we have seen from Scout to date with the Community U/X... This "Infotainment" problem won't be a problem. LOL. That article is so misleading.

    Personally, the best part about a truck that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds with 4 motors is not the 0-60 band at all. It's the linear power band you get for passing or when moving. Sure, blasting off in launch mode is fun for show, but really just adds more wear and tear and gets old pretty quick...

    Phone cooler

    I'm just telling you that I have never had this happen with an iPhone after cooling the interior with the AC. I have had my iPhone overheat sitting in direct sunlight outside many times (and shut down), and I'm sure I could make it happen inside a truck in direct sunlight, but I am never just...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I could easily talk anybody out of a top trim XC90... But that is a different story. 😵‍💫

    What trim levels would you like to see at launch?

    Reminds me of the time my kids dared me to eat a Dave's Hot Chicken Reaper Tenders order... Not good!!! ❤️‍🔥

    I've used the new launch mode in my R1T exactly once - to see how it worked. I could see myself getting into trouble with it... Cool feature though! 🏁

    R2 Launch Watch

    What Audi version?

    Hoses right out, never an issue, and have never had anything actually get stuck in there. I've half expected to find a bird in there once or twice but never have.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Keep in mind that Scout needs to get the fly wheel spinning, and that they have thrown a pricing stake in the sand. Initial pricing is not set in stone, and will increase over time. That means that there could be good value for the first reservation holders when it comes to trim levels and what...

    Its a lot less obvious on the Rivian, but (in addition to the rear wheel well air channel shown), the pass-through vent channel to the front wheel wells runs through the front bumper:
