  • 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.

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

    Hmm. 🤔 not sure if it’s illegal but I bet no one does it because it’s a switch that could get wet/muddy, etc. plus cheaper on or part of the stalk.

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    That would be great! My address in NE Ohio near Cleveland is …………..

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

    Also, the center seat ‘controls’ could be the one seat that has them in the screen, since the person sitting there is……right in front of the screen. Also, because it will be used rarely, IMHO.

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

    I hope SM Designers and Engineers are reading this! Systems need to work at the time of greatest need. Not just during perfect weather or during the test drive.

    The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

    Great video! Scout will have incredible loyalty if the customer base is heard and included in the feature development suggestions from this forum coming to fruition. My 29 yo daughter wants a pickup and I’m introducing her to Terra. My 25 and 27 yo daughters want SUVs so Traveler would be...

    Future Robotic EV Charger for Your Scout?

    That is cool for a parking garage. However, at home and eventually at rest stops, I would like inductive charging that just works as you park over it. This option is probably cheaper for a parking garage but would need a lot of robots.

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

    Yarbo robot Snow Blower has heaters at each camera on all sides of the main unit and snow blower module. SM could do this at the cameras, headlights and wipers.

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

    Dashcams always running and recording. Off road undercarriage dashcams. Dashcams with sound enabled when desired. Sound matters because can speak a license plate number when/if not captured by the camera. 4K or 8K resolution. Telephoto and wide angle front, standard rear and sides, like Tesla...

    Please put extender in back and give biggest frunk possible!

    Some YouTube vids out there showing difficulty smashing double thickness Tesla windows. Scout needs this.

    Honda Ridgeline 2 way tailgate

    I like the Chevy multi gate. Seems it would be more useful than split gate but hard to know.

    Harvester- No Gas Cap

    Reveal had a cover with the word ‘harvester’ passenger side, I believe and with a row of crops and a combine. So there is a cover. No cap design on our Honda CRV has worked fine for the last 8 years. I Just filled it up today for my daughter, who drives it mostly now.

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Just needs heated headlights……with Adaptive Driving Beams!

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Agree. This is a problem.

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

    I didn’t put this in my long requested feature list in the suggestion sub forum but I agree with this. We’ve owned and do own Hondas with this feature (with integrated mirror looking at rear children or grand children) and sunglasses stay cleaner and unbroken and easier to find. I find this...

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    I lived in Dothan AL for four years while on Active Duty as a Doc at Fort Rucker. I had to go to Montgomery or Tallahassee for warranty Service at the nearest Acura Dealership for my TL A-Spec 6MT. Loved that car. I feel your pain on travel distances. I used to ‘moonlight’ in Ozark at Dale...

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    Also, I think Rivian and SM should create ‘experience ‘ or ‘ Adventure’ Centers near the highway and Turnpike that sell ‘a coffee’ or other non alcoholic beverage (we have good non alcoholic beers and wine available) that comes with a one to 3 hour ‘rental’ of a Rivian or SM Terra or Traveler...

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    Yeah, I’ll be 6 feet under before the Browns win a Super Bowl! I’m from Brook Park and my brother owns our childhood home just 2 miles or less from the new Browns Stadium proposed site (Former Ford PLANTS, NOW DOWN TO ONE FORD PLANT LEFT). Hey, the Brook Park Stadium / retail Center and...

    Adaptive Driving beams and thermal imaging.

    To the Depreciation point: All EV but not all EVs with Range extenders since none (other than the crippled BMW IX 3) have ever been sold, to my knowledge. I guess Volt too but none of these vehicles are compelling. RAM with range extender to come out soon vs Scout with Harvester are the only...

    Adaptive Driving beams and thermal imaging.

    Well, Lasers are allowed because BMW in the US has already sold expensive cars with laser headlights: https://www.bmwblog.com/2024/12/10/bmw-laser-headlights-history-why-disappearing/ Available for the last ten years, even on the smaller M3. However, seems to be discontinued as of now.

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    Cleveland will top the list ! 🤣 Although we do have a Rivian Service Center and a Tesla ‘Dealership’ / Service Center in Cleveland suburbs. NADA Lobbyists and Car Dealers with Legislators have hamstrung Rivian throughout the State. Can’t sit in or ‘test drive’ a Rivian anywhere in the State...
