  • 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.

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    With OPD you only have one choice, and it is rarely the choice I want. 99% of the time when I take my foot off the gas the gas I want to either coast or gently reduce speed. Using my foot to very carefully adjust regen is terrible ergonomics for me, and many people’s experience indicates that...

    E Axle Brand Poll

    So, I’ve got a reasonably good grasp of physics, but admittedly no expertise on suspension or off roading. Could someone enlighten me about the tradeoffs between independent rear suspension vs solid axles in this context? That article also mentions leaf springs, I thought those went out with...

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen at least one pic with a gas can added to the swing arm.

    Intuitive D/B Mode Switching - A Must-Have for Scout!

    Welcome! There’s a lot of discussion about paddles/regen/one pedal driving in other threads, you might find those discussions interesting. The way Hyundai/kia has implemented paddles, it covers “D”, “B” and several levels in between, I find it very convenient and intuitive.

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    The problem with only having regen on the gas pedal is you either end up limiting how much regen you have, or you have to very carefully feather the gas so your passengers don’t get seasick. Paddles make it easy, so opd folks get what they want, coasters get what they want and everyone in...

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    Yes, there a lot of different ways to implement regen, even a lot of ways To implement OPD. The nice thing about paddles is it gives the driver an easy way to choose between several different possibilities without resorting to a menu on the screen somewhere.

    Paddle Shifters For Adjusting Regen

    Welcome! What you’re calling “ROAR” is generally referred to as “one pedal driving”, and if you search for that in the forums you’ll find lots of discussion about it. Personally I find the best thing about regen paddles is it gives an easy intuitive way to give drivers a choice. Those who like...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    Some indication of whether you ever have to go out of your way to charge would be interesting. And when camping without available electricity, how much of the battery you use while camping (Electric cooktop? Lights? 85” oled tv? :) )

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    Maybe id be ok with. It if I tried it, but it reminds me if the volume slider control in the VW ID.4, which apparently didn’t work too well. I’ll trust you on this, though. Now as far as voice control, I can’t help but think of this:

    The Tax Man Cometh?

    I just saw a scishow video on the connection between air pollution and Parkinson’s disease. This stuff has real consequences in our lives.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    From what I gather, 400V architecture means a nominal pack voltage between 250ish to 400ish, while an 800V architecture means >450V (eg 550V for Kia ev9 small battery option). I expect scout will be closer to 800 though. Also note that Tesla chargers don’t do 800V (yet?) so 800V cars typically...

    A good idea for any car, though I confess I have no idea where our is.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    Yeah, and they’re kinda obnoxious about it. Their lead designer dude just poo-poos the idea that people don’t like doing everything on a touchscreen. They’re even starting to make the door handles electronic, ie if the system fails there’s no easy way to open the doors. I remember an...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Good video on paraplegic access and other things, including: Ingress/egress Height Hand controls for gas/brake Towing Horses! Fortunately this is a subject I know nothing about, so it was pretty interesting to me.
