  • 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.

    Range and Competitiveness

    That’s how it should work but the 4xE is not acting that way. I do think it is due to the engineering of the parallel hybrid and likely bad batteries from Samsung. Here is the data to show what is happening:

    Gas Powered Range Extender

    We are all hoping for this too but no definitive word yet

    Range and Competitiveness

    I actually do worry about this. Look at all the battery replacements in Jeep 4xE. The hybrid systems with smaller batteries and frequent charging/decharging is leading to accelerated battery degradation. It is why I think LFP will be the battery of choice in the harvester models.

    Vehicle 2 vehicle communication

    It would be cool (and potentially useful expanding this idea in the future to more practical use cases) to have a vehicle 2 vehicle (v2v) communication protocol between Scouts to allow for a custom “wave”. Much like a modern day technological Jeep wave or slug bug game when nearing another...

    Scout Brand Ambassdor Program

    Is that a bear or a beaver?!?!

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    I too would like the utility of the bench so long as there is a fold down console. I also hope for enough length to get my 6’2 height sleeping in the back without having to contort my body like a yogi

    Questions about the Harvester

    I have read with keen interested all the forums posts on the scout and harvester in the last few weeks. I have a reservation for a Scout Traveller SUV with Range extending harvester (essentially a plug in hybrid in series). I am a current owner of a Jeep Wrangler 4xE (plug in parallel hybrid)...

    Welcome and Introductions!

    I just joined as well! Probably read nearly every post (except when it went off track on political tangents—thanks for this community keeping that to a minimum). Looking forward to engaging and learning more. I am coming from a Jeep Wrangler 4xE which is good…Scout is shaping up to be GREAT!
