  • 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.

    Launch Edition

    I expect a Launch Edition will be fairly well equipped - if for no other reason is it will be the vehicle reviewed, and those reviews can make or break a release. Prices is a big variable. Hard to guess a Launch Edition price when I am too tired to recall what a base model might have. Every...

    Loaded Traveler with Harvester?

    My real fear I guess is if things we are practically taking for granted will become significant add on's. Now I am more interested in the EV Traveler. But is the 350 mile range going to be only in an extended range version? Is the 4x4 only going to be as an option? Are there going to be...

    Loaded Traveler with Harvester?

    I guess a lot will depend on Scouts marketing philosophy. Once upon a time, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I audited car dealerships. The profit was almost all in dealer incentives and dealer add-ons, and dealer add-ons were the real gravy. But even from a manufacturer's perspective, most...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    I use cruise control in town - especially in my VW. Love the button that raises or drops the speed by 5mph. I drive through too many small towns that fund their police departments with speeding tickets. I press that button religiously to make sure I coast down before the speed limit sign, and...

    Delivery impatience

    Reservation count is a soft number. What will matter more is conversion rate. But I would be completely shocked if Scout is not building their production line to allow them to easily switch between all 4 versions. My WAG is that Scout will be considering conversion rates, brand imaging and...

    Scout Traveler Concept with the Bench Seat - First Look

    Not sure what is on the far left side of the dash - and perspective makes guessing size difficult. But if that object is sitting on a tray, and if the tray is large enough - it just screams to me as a place to put a wireless phone charger. But for all I know that is a key fob (or garage...

    Delivery impatience

    Honestly, I think vehicles are supposed to be rolling off the line late this year - but those are for testing (and honestly, testing is probably ongoing already - and initial test mules probably will not be fully completed vehicles). Production vehicles are late next year.

    NC Charlotte Harvester event photos

    First time I have noticed the ledge on the left side of the dash. Looks like it might be a great place to put a cellphone (and wireless charger).

    BENCH SEAT ARM REST REVEAL!!

    Kind of depressing... Was hoping for 4 cup holders. Oh well, need to drink less I guess.

    Another Option for an Electric Scout

    Instrument cluster. Runs fine, but I have no warning lights, no gauges. Kind of scary to drive with no temp guage, no odometer, no fuel gauge... I can at least use my iphone for speed. Honestly - I could just use the ODM for most of it, just annoying I guess. Tape an ipad to the dash... In...

    Another Option for an Electric Scout

    I could laugh, my LJ already only has a 160 mile range. But honestly, while it is partially my fault, my LJ is loud as hell - and almost none of that is engine noise. A loud EV would seem to be missing the point. My LJ is loud because of Covid tires (there were limited tire options available...

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    My father was a Chevy truck person. The first truck I got was a 4x4 Dodge, but it just felt normal as my father's at the time was a Z71. Then I got a 2 (in honesty, 1) wheel drive Chevy. I hated that truck, it felt like a low rider special and spun out at ever stop light because it had no...

    If the Trail-Ready Traveler were a dog breed, which dog breed would she be?

    Lab. Hard worker, ready for the trail, recharges overnight. Always brings a smile to the owners face and is happy to see everyone.

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    Please don't cut the height down and turn it into just another EV. If I wanted a car, I would have already purchased one. Ford even cut the height of the Lightning. Which at least in Texas made most buyers just walk past it.

    Scout Concepts in Charlotte, North Carolina September 26, 2026

    Still no guarantees (need confirmation the 4 day road trip is still on), but looking good that I will be there with my wife. Adding a side quest tomorrow (extra 4hr road trip) - cell phone decided to commit suicide by rock Sunday. ___ 4am and my phone just gave me the ding I did not want. Trip...

    Marketing IDIOTS

    I don't think going EV is necessarily excluding 90% of the market. EV's currently have a fairly good percentage penetration into the car market - even in the USA. What they lack is penetration into the full sized truck and SUV market. But it is a bit early to say if that is because that...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    It will be the update eventually. Just maybe not the next one, or the one after that... Honestly hoping for the anniversary of the reveal.

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

    Scout maybe 4 years into development, but then have yet to announce they are behind their original schedule. On the unveiling day - they said that production vehicles would start rolling off the line at the end of 2027 and be going to consumers shortly afterwards. The only update we have heard...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Waiting for the update of the first per-production test vehicle off the line. Patience young grasshopper.

    Marketing IDIOTS

    The real issue here is not limiting their userbase - it is targeting a userbase that is not already saturated. They could make a gas SUV - how many of those are already on the market. It is a mature and saturated market. Trying to stand out would be brutally difficult. But a rugged EV SUV is...
