  • 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.

    Instrument Cluster

    Not complex enough!

    Backseat Legroom SUV

    VW Bus EV does this really well. Not that you want a Bus. Or 3 rows. However, Scout should be able to tap that VW Group know how to incorporate it.

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

    There should be much more to the HUD than just showing your speed. NAV, and other info that keeps your head up and eyes on the road is very helpful in avoiding accidents on multi lane, crowded highways at speed.

    Absolutely agree.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    I mean, I’m old and still have a very few CDs lying around. But I have no vehicle now that can play one after trading in my 2005 Acura TL A-spec 6MT in 2017 for my current ride, 2018 A5 Cab. My 3 daughters SUV’s they inherited are from 2015-2017 and don’t play CD’s. My Wife’s 2021 Q5 PHEV HAS...

    Traveler Ultimate Wish List for Scout Motors

    I’ve only seen ‘night vision’ on a Mercedes. Rivian has Adaptive Driving Beams. The only US production vehicle that has ADBs active. In Europe, Audi and others have ADBs with additional lights to ‘highlight’ pedestrians and animals on the side of the road. I hope Scout Motors will as well.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    That is very “all inclusive”. Now, I’d like everything you list; And Harvester Towing in Terra of at least 8,500 lbs. Traveler is already lower than I want at 7,000 lbs but with a Harvester either at 5,000 lbs needs fixin’. And I’d add : Service and Delivery Centers closer to Parks or less...

    Blind Spot Turn Signal Camera Displayed in Instrument Cluster

    I've tried and tried and tried to get my Wife and three daughters to do this, but they always set their mirrors so they see the side of the car in 1/2 the mirror. I've tried to explain why this makes no sense but no use.

    Harvester towing

    BlueRidgeTraveler: Agree! I think the Pebble Flow is 6800 lbs loaded so 7,000 lbs and tongue weight of 10% would work. Unfortunately, with a Harvester we're told it's 5,000 lbs. Lightship is even more at 8,300 lbs fully loaded. So, only Terra BEV could do it and then, maybe, if the self...

    Dealership cartels - horror stories

    Perfect example why I never want to deal with a stealership again. What a waste of your time and effort and money and emotions. Glad you stood your ground. I've had dealerships here call to tell me I still owed "$250" or "$1250" on a completed deal because they 'forgot' to charge me for X. Such...

    Seat Height Specs

    Agree. I'm getting older at 59.5 yo and while I have no physical limitations, it's coming. Also, I have a long torso and average length legs so I need to push the seat all the way down always and need more back and headrest height than others.

    Ideas for Scout Engineers

    There is a wide range of enthusiasts. Some do not want a minimalist design and I think SM has already demonstrated that's not where the traveler or terra are headed. I think to compete, they can't, for the majority of offerings. Having said that, the niche market that do want inexpensive...

    How Are Electric Vehicles Taxed in Your State?

    That is expensive. I paid $434 for a two year registration on the PHEV so I guess I shouldn’t complain. Gas is much cheaper, less than $100 per year in Ohio. I forget how little. I ‘bought’ the PHEV in PA for lower sales tax and changed jobs a year later to Ohio.

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    Agree. I like the pic but need a bigger step.

    How Are Electric Vehicles Taxed in Your State?

    I moved a PHEV from PA to Ohio and could not believe the cost to register it. Of course, I got a $6,750 federal and $500 state tax credit (in PA) at the time I purchased it. It’s ridiculous to charge so much more for an EV.

    Ideas for Scout Engineers

    Agree. This would be helpful. We’ve only had 3 outages in 15 years but 2, 3 and 5 days long.

    Range and Competitiveness

    However, LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries like to be charged to 100% often and have a charge cycle lifetime at least 4 times longer than Lithium Ion Batteries. However, current energy density of LiFePO4 is less than Lithium Ion, but LiFePO4 weighs less. Then there is Solid State...
