  • 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.

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    I took AI to mean "algorithm" in this case. But I too am not a fan of AI as the answer to everything. It can make a great wrench but almost always fails when used as a solution. AI aside, @ROMR_Casey 's idea is solid. Here is an emdash for your amusement — (not AI generated).

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    I hope the Scout engineers are paying attention! That would be a great feature but would take some integration into the navigation and battery management systems. Then again, battery conitioning is already doing something similar so the plumbing is already there I'd imagine.

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    This sounds like an excellent topic for a pod cast! So many questions remain to be answered regarding vehicle configurations, accessories etc. A couple of considerations. Rear lockers appear to be standard across future configs and hopefully, 33" tires will be available with 18's. Less rubber...

    R2 Launch Watch

    They must have a regional strategy of some sort. I have a delivery center within 5 miles of my home and ordered within a minute or two after orders went live. My delivery window is December - January. I'd prefer a Scout so the timeline doesn't bother me. Just thought I'd share a data point.

    First adventure with the Scout Traveler From Scout The America

    245 Wh/mi is Tesla model 3 efficiency territory (over 4 miles per Kwh) When I checked ABRP the reference consumption was 576 Wh/mi. That is hopefully a very conservitive guestimate. They also estimate the battery to be 180Kwh which equates to 1.9 miles/Kwh. I'm hoping the vehicle is more...

    Cross Shopping

    Is there a way to change the wake phrase? "Vivian" was the 81st most popular female name heading into 2026 and has been in the top 100 since 2023. And let's not forget its popularity in the 1920s and '30s!

    Traveler NEEDS the bench seat

    Just call it a range extending bench seat in the poll and it will do fine!

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Seems I'm one of those who hasn't received their gift yet. Looking for a sad face from @maynard.

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

    EREV maintenance is going to be interesting. Most modern ICE vehicles are much more difficult to work on then those many of us grew up wrenching on. This has been true for some time, for example needing to pull the intake in order to reach the plugs and wires. Hopefully Scout will make the...

    EREV initial release only?

    Thanks @Jamie@ScoutMotors for providing context. I believe there are very few on this forum that would find fault with Scout's rationale for the pivot to EREV, even those with a clear preference for BEV and no love for gas powered vehicles. Data is data after all even if it may be predicated the...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Here's a version without the roof rack for those iterested in that option. This is a good looking vehicle! Here is one without the tire carrier as well.

    VERO Scout Watch!!!!!

    Haha, I thought you were kidding about the watches as the gift. Of course I wouldn't turn one down if it appeared in my mail box, but I would be concerned about the Scout's fiscal responsibility.

    VERO Scout Watch!!!!!

    I agree with @THil08. You are probaly going to end up with an extra watch!

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I'm skeptical as well, but here is a look at how this battery may in fact be possible.

    Traveler 11/28/2025 Livestream

    Scout has a live stream up on Youtube right now. Apparently they are taking the day off to go fishing with the traveler. Anyone else watching? Nice touch @Jamie@ScoutMotors!

    Software Features

    Scout should make it so carwash mode is automatically activated whenver a foam cannon is nearby! I'll add that to my previously suggested automatically deny entry to traditional car washes.

    Is there anything that would make you switch from the BEV to the EREV?

    I'm firmly BEV as well and would cancel my order rather than go EREV. 🚫🧊🦕 - 😍🔋🚙
