  • 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.

    Limp Modes or Selective Disabling

    A month after I purchased my KIA PHEV, I hopped in the car to go somewhere and it was all but dead. Just a few warning messages. Turns out a packrat ate through the emergency cable that is there for EMS to cut after a crash so I had to get it towed. It would have been nice to have been able to...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    Yep, NIR wavelengths LIDAR systems use are bad for cameras. Higher power will damage your eyes as well but that is at 100+ times the power LIDAR systems generally use

    Agreed. NM has so few places to charge, a charging desert so to speak. UNM Hospital has 6 chargers I have seen with one car charging in my dozens of visits in the last couple years but they are in the hospital parking structure, a place most people would care to avoid. The only other place I...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    It would be fantastic to have a showing/test/consulation office in Albuquerque but I'll lilely have to travel to Denver (6.5 hrs) for Tucson (6.5hrs) or Pheonix (7.5 hrs) but In the end, I'll be OK with that if Albuquerque doesn't rate one.
