  • 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.

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    I've seen those videos. However, the UX demo does not show what software is working under the hood. It could be a proprietary software, or Google's full Automotive suite. AFAIK Google Automotive allows customization of the UI/UX to some degree.

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

    (y)Thanks.Tesla's way of doing things has pros and cons. They're very much a CA tech company. I've got easily 20+ miles of gentle downhill driving from various locations in southern PA to DC (on local roads, not on the I-95). In both ICE and BMW EV you can let go of the acc. pedal and the car...

    AND I hope it will be easy enough to ask the car's intelligent agent using voice command!

    Size comparison

    Yes, I agree. Parking in DC is a nightmare, and to make it worst some parking garages have strict limits on vehicle dimensions that prevents SUVs like Suburban or Sequoia from entering. It's good to know how wide and tall our car is!

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    While we are at it, do we know if Scout will be using their own proprietary system or Rivian's software? Why not Google Automotive (the full GAS suite) as the car's operting system? As someone mentioned earlier, it's pointless to try and build a car operating system from scratch when google...

    Please make Scout the 'privacy brand'.

    Your points make sense, but you're taking about two different things: First, Activities that are allowed by law or not prohibited by law (kinda grey area) such as collecting and selling customer data in many businesses. Phone companies do this left and right. Second, building a robuts & secure...

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

    I've only used paddle shifters on the track; feels a bit strange to have them for anything other than manual gear change (which is irrelevant to EVs). Having said that, it's nice to have the option to let the car glide/coast under its own momentum. Cars have been able to do that forever.

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

    To be easier on the pedal on the highway and on hills. often times I use TACC cruise control in the tesla, but when there's no traffic I like the old feeling of being light on the pedal.

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

    Interesting. I've heard that early Tesla models had a way of switching between coasting and regenerative braking, but it's not easily available any longer. Maybe it's an issue that the average driver never thinks about?

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    CarPlay is a deal breaker. For example despite my Tesla having a giant screen, I still need to hook up my phone separately to use common phone functions. I'm not getting a new EV without CarPlay. If Ultra means even better integration, then Yes Please!

    Size comparison

    Not really directly related to size "comparison", but it would be nice to have the basic properties of the vehicle listed somewhere in the system. For example, a page in the infotainment could show the vehicle along with its dimensions and (curb) weight. It comes handy when looking for parking...
