  • 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.

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    I agree so much my buying decision might be tied to it. For $60K a nerfed Scout with reduced battery and 1 motor will have to compete with a barely used R1S AWD Large Battery and will lose every time. Heck by 2028 you can also throw in a pretty loaded brand new R2 as well.

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    Correct leasing bypasses the income limit which is a big one. It also bypasses the sourcing limit...now some people might say hey that shouldn't matter since Scouts will be made in USA...however tell that to Rivian who lost the credit this year due to sourcing meaning if buyers want the credit...

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    And this is why we need a leasing option at launch.

    Scout Cold Weather Testing - with test mules

    Given automotive development cycles and a Q4 '27 launch timeframe, all this is pretty normal. At this stage we've probably hit or are hitting the styling freeze with next step being hardpoints/engineering freeze that'll hit sometime in late summer/fall hence them hustling to get winter tests...

    Delivery date

    I'm fine with 2028 honestly. More time to figure out our lives and wtf is happening with this economy.

    More Pondering

    Off-road package aside, is it safe to say a standard-spec Scout will have ingress/egress similar to your standard set of SUVs (Explorer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, Pathfinder, etc.)?

    Trade-In with EV direct sale

    Will you have a solution for leases out of the gate? Asking because it took Rivian 2 years. Even if I want to buy long term I would still lease to capture tax incentives....ahem assuming they still exist by then of course.

    Favorite Trader Joe’s product

    First thing that comes to mind is that bucket of mini chocolate chip cookies or ginger snaps.

    Scout II Restoration update!

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I really think it's this. Let's remember that these AI models learn from existing content so when there's no content to learn from, it has to pull from elsewhere to fill in the gaps and that's where you get inaccuracies. For example look at the Downtown LA pic I did and you'll see a hint of new...

    Fancy? Nah that's just regular California stuff. Like here's the car arriving back at home.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    Thanks for the bump on my color, was just thinking about this one again and I still maintain this green is ideal for Scout. Just to see it in some different environments here in California.. Wine Country Dirty in the hills LA

    Colorado Event

    Curious when the largest EV market in the country and home to Rivian and VW Group Technology will get some Scout love? Will also accept invites to VW corp. offices in Belmont, San Jose, or Palo Alto. ;)

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    For fun I tried a 595mi drive from Bozeman, MT to Casper, WY aka the kind of drive 04Ram2500Hemi is talking about just to see what it would look like. To make it as similar to Scout as possible the vehicle is a 2025 Rivian R1S Dual w/Large battery (aka ~350mi range)... The good news is there...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    Agreed, especially for you in MT with so much distance to cover I think Harvester will be a really good fit.

    Dealership cartels - horror stories

    IMO we're beating a dead horse but in the spirit of discussion I'll throw down one pic that sums up why interest in DTC sales is growing and why I feel zero pity for dealers who will lose out.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    The key to EV road trip success is eating while charging. Scout says they'll deliver a 350mi range vehicle. Ok so you leave home at 100%, drive a little over 4 hours, eat lunch/dinner while the car charges, then keep going to your destination. Doesn't seem inconvenient at all especially since at...

    Let's play " what will my Scout look like pulling my off road trailer "

    Trying again... Ok I'm done for today.

    Let's play " what will my Scout look like pulling my off road trailer "

    Ok so I asked ChatGPT why it kept ignoring my commands to keep everything the same but change this or that. It told me my requests sound like I'm asking it to generate a new image based on the pics I gave. What you need to say is "edit this image" which then tells it to retain the photo and...
