  • 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 NC!! 9/26/26

    Hey @cyure, @J Alynn, and @jdm111er.28078! I understand you'll all be at the NC event. Can one of you do me a huge solid if possible at all? Can on one of you get the actual step-in height for the trail-ready traveler? From the ground to the top of the floorboards/carpet. I know cyrue got an...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    When I did my DTC sale with Rivian, the employee who did my purchase contract transposed numbers, I got the check from my CU, and only then did I realize he had the numbers transposed. I had to have my CU send me a new check (they did it for free) but then had to overnight the check to Rivian on...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Based on what I've read, I think they're going to have three options: (1) pick it up at the "Scout center" that is closet to you; (2) pick it up at the factory (haven't decided whether I would do that if they had that option but it sounds super cool, especially at launch); and (3) deliver it to...

    Harvester Towing

    That was the original plan when I reserved at the Scout reveal. I was going to get the Terra BEV and my wife the Traveler Harvester. But with the Traveler Harvester being prioritizing and the Terra, especially the BEV, "delayed," that's off the table. My wife needs a new car by 2028, she knows I...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I legitimately couldn't agree with this more and have nothing to add. I get the sense this is most of us and what most of us want.

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

    I've seen this "complaint" a lot. Scout is currently showing us what you can do with options and specs, not what you have to buy. Eventually you'll be able to buy the base model, but I'd be surprised if that were at launch.

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    You know, when I got my Rivian I had concern about the sun. But Rivian's panoramic roof is tinted and I've never had an issue with the sun baking me while driving. In fairness, I don't live in the south either!

    Harvester Towing

    I LOVE the posters. I don't know if you all got one of each or if I did because I have a reservation for the Traveler and the Terra, but they are awesome. I (my wife) framed them and have them hanging in my office at work and one (the Traveler) you can see in the background on Zoom and Teams...

    Range anxiety

    I agree with this and it depends on your battery chemistry. I have NMC, which you're only supposed to charge regularly to 80%. That's what I do daily. But on long road trips, I charge to 100% and it's fine to go below 20%. The issue with 20% is you don't want to hold that state of charge parked...

    Update?!?

    Same here. It's been a long road and but I personally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I think things are going to really start heating up here "soon." This year we're supposed to get a re-designed website and (more importantly and more fun!) a visualizer in November or December. I think in...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Scout has to offer some sort of financing, right? When they do, it'll be interesting to see who they offer it through. Will they offer it through VW Financial? If so, that might affect those lawsuits against Scout for allegedly violating franchise laws by going DTC. If not, I'm dubious as to...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Seven years! Holy smoke. I have the shakes just thinking about it. :ROFLMAO: I'm not quite as "bad" as twice a year, but about every two years or so. This one is going to be three because I'm waiting for Scout and its ... its tough.

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    These are all fair arguments and I have to believe that Scout is making the same ones in Court. The argument to counter them though is that VW is playing shell games with their companies and corporations for no purpose other than evade state-X's franchise laws. These franchise laws exist because...

    Harvester Towing

    I don't know who's on it or if any of you know it exists, but Scout has a marketing group/forum called Scout Wayfinders. I got an invitation to join at the release (I don't know why) and it's essentially a focus marketing group. There appear to be 999 of us. About once per month they give us...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Whoo boy. Where to start on this? As a lawyer (yeah, yeah, I know. At least I work in public service for a large County in Minnesota so maybe I have some sort of soul) I've been following this closely. There have been a few lawsuits filed by dealers associations in certain states. Colorado...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Has anyone heard anything about what these initial 25 or so facilities will look like? I'm assuming they are going to be service centers, but do we know whether they are going to be "experience centers" too? When Rivian first came to Minneapolis, they had a service center out in a suburb. They...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    This is a good point and dovetail's with @J Alynn's point. Scout is bound to prioritize EV-centric/high conversion rate markets. When I was putting my list together of the 16 largest markets, I added Denver because I thought it would be a relatively high conversion rate and there are lots of...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    What does the store front look like? Like do they have a sign or something? I've been thinking that if Scout is going to have these stores ready before people start taking delivery sometime in (hopefully early) 2028, they need to get a move on. Real property acquisition (or leases) and build-out...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Unfortunately, I'm not counting on it either. I'd love a test drive, but I really don't think that's going to happen. At that point, I just need to get out and see the colors. For me, I want one of these color shifting ones (pacific mist or silo green) and you really need to see them in the...
