  • 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.

    Scout Design Ideas

    I believe its because an off-road truck, even driving on road has a better chance of roll overs than a car. It gets a bit trickier still, with most EV’s weight is at the floor, if it does roll over, unlike the ICE convertible that has a heavy engine up front, that heavy weight would assist in...

    Scout Design Ideas

    Some thoughts on interior and materials: 1) mycelium…..and the surrogate to leather textiles is coming down in cost AND we have a manufacturer IN South Carolina https://www.innovationintextiles.com/fibres-yarns-fabrics/ In no way is it “pleather”, and it is actually a Hyde-like material with...

    RECONSIDER EV

    While infrastructure may not currently be where people want it to be for recharging. What we do know is that Scout will be off road and rugged. Likely with all the add ons that allow a tent on the roof, numerous hitches, winches, etc. Perhaps, the ability for a power pack hitch, spare tire...

    Rodents!

    Rodents are attracted to some soy based plastics, and why some vehicles groups that have an abundance of cladding or wiring get this issue even on the outside. I believe more modern plastics have less properties that make them tasty. So hopefully…..the secret will be in the sauce….where the...

    Welcome and Introductions!

    I had a couple early 2000 Mini Cooper’s, and they did a PHENOMENAL job of taking the past heritage, making it modern (and a touch more upscale). Yet at the same time, they had basic commuter Mini models that could still have a bevy of non-cost-prohibiting upgrades from decals to turbo and...
