  • 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.

    What government and private sectors could you see Scout being successful in commercially? (Police, military, S&R, Delivery, etc)

    Just a fun discussion prompt. Once Scout takes off and ramps up production capacity they could start eyeing larger commercial contracts. As an American company they could compete in some government and private sectors for fleet deals. What are some areas you could see the Scouts being...

    Spare Parts Availability At Launch

    I have read many stories about people buying newly launched vehicles and getting to accidents and waiting months for repairs. It can take a while for parts availability to catch up but some things could result in shiny new vehicles being completely immobile aside from accidents. Since Scout is...

    Do you think we will see a Travelette (Long Bed Heavy Duty)?

    Scout used to make a heavy duty long bed pickup called the Travelette. Do you think there is a place for a heavy duty truck in their future lineup alongside the Terra? Maybe some beefier axles like the electric Dana 60 and a high output Harvester Generator would do the trick for those wanting...

    Scout merch should also include camping chairs, blankets, umbrellas etc. Lifestyle stuff beyond clothing.

    Some folks here suggested a Scout branded plaid (tartan) blanket when we were discussing overland gear. It’s a pretty brilliant idea. If it could be made of hemp or a resilient fiber that doesn’t get funky after it’s wet that would be even cooler. They could be offered in the various...

    Gear ratios

    Lets have a discussion about gear ratios. I come from the rock crawling/overland world. Gearing is a make or break for slow speed control, as well as efficiency. I had a 100 Series Land Cruiser that I could get up just about anything I pointed it at. When I installed 35"s I wanted as...

    Someone call an ambulance. (I just asked Chapt GPT to roast the Scout Traveler)

    I said it will have a Harvester gasoline Generator option available and it gave me two more roasts in response. I am dying yall 🤣

    Will Scout Work With Future 3rd Party Battery Retrofit/Replacement Companies? (Right to Repair)

    Thinking well into the future here, but 10 years from now as EV packs endure the hot summer months and cold winters, deep states of discharge, or worked hard by towing and begin to show their age, will we be stuck with Scout battery replacement packs? Will that even be an option? I would hate...

    Walkabout Mode (Safety Feature)

    I brought this up in another thread, but think it would be a life saver and worth Scout Motors attention. Base Camp Mode, Walkabout Mode, Check Ins, IDK about the name but it's a working title. The idea is essentially a software deadman switch to help keep people alive. If you are camping...
