  • 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.

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    There was also a question posed regarding what Scott thought the mix would be of folks with the Harvester variant that actually charge the battery by plugging it in versus those who only gas up, and Scott did not shoot down the latter as impossible. I infer from that the possibility of "gas and...

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    Pretty certain I heard that for the EREV application he said "don't need a turbo."

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    And at the end when Jonny mentions accessories, being able to put a winch on these things, Scott answers back with "and a plow." The accessories store is shaping up to potentially be fun!

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    Also much relief in hearing, on the software front: absolutely nothing from Cariad. Software will be Scout working with the VWAG/Rivian joint venture (zonal architecture), and then the UX software is all Scout.

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    Thanks for sharing this! I'm still going through it, but also a near-confirmation that the Harvester engine lives where a full size spare might normally live. Not a surprise, but nice to approach confirmed.

    South Carolina Scouts! Your voice is heard: Direct sales bill gets a hearing on Wednesday!

    That seems highly unlikely, since the same the auto company headed by dude you seem to be referencing is also blocked in the same way as Scout from direct sales in SC, by the same law.

    South Carolina Scouts! Your voice is heard: Direct sales bill gets a hearing on Wednesday!

    Craig Gagnon (R-Abbeville) is one of the co-sponsors on the bill, yet he had previously indicated in a response to an interviewer's question that he had yet to make a decision on whether to support it. Was there any indication during the hearing that all 4 of the bill's co-sponsors are now fully...

    South Carolina Scouts! Your voice is heard: Direct sales bill gets a hearing on Wednesday!

    Sadly, in SC citizens do not have the power to initiate ballot measures.

    South Carolina Scouts! Your voice is heard: Direct sales bill gets a hearing on Wednesday!

    Numerous local media outlets are posting some variant of this sort of a statement, following the hearing (source from the local NBC affiliate, WIS-TV): One subcommittee member told WIS the bill is “dead,” at least in its current form in the House. Hopefully even if their pessimism is...

    Certain aspects of revision could end up being quite positive. For example, the South Carolina NEVI plan mentions build out of DC fast chargers that max out at 150KW. When building for the future, using federal funding, why aim so ludicrously low, given what is currently possible? If a revised...

    Illuminating video on the the state of what is possible, from a current technologies perspective, regarding EV battery packs and DC fast charging. The punchline summary: from Zeeker, a 7X with a 75 kilowatt hour LFP cell pack, 10-80% charge in 9 minutes 40 seconds when preconditioned, using an...

    I guess if Scout goes this route, at least there would likely be a physical toggle to deploy/recall the drone. https://www.theautopian.com/how-jeep-rivian-and-gm-want-to-use-drones-to-make-off-roading-easier/

    South Carolina Bill- H. 3777

    Just received an email, as a reservation holder, from Scout to fill out a form to send an email to legislators in support of this bill. Well done, Scout PR and legal teams!
