  • 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.

    Rivian Tire Swap Function

    Tesla does the same. I would imagine Scout will

    Massaging Seats

    Massaging seats, along with heated and cooled options, have become standard features in most modern trucks and SUVs.

    The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

    Comparable to the Silverado EV or Sierra EV with 200kw

    The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

    Not exactly to replace. They are already offering an EV only model. I think it's only proper to have an extended range EV on the model as well.

    The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

    I think it's important to factor in a 30%+ reduction in real-world range when quoting these figures—and even more when towing. If we want true autonomy and aren’t sticking strictly to highway driving, that reduction matters. Take the Tesla Model Y, for example. It’s advertised at over 300 miles...

    The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

    I think Scout needs to offer an extended-range EV option—something around 200 kW, similar to what GM’s doing—with a real-world range of 450 to 500 miles. One thing I’m waiting to see is actual data on what the Harvester can deliver in terms of charging speed. Are we talking Level 2? Also...

    Totally agree. Utility is what’s going to define the Scouts. Ford nailed it with onboard power in the Lightning: you can run a job site or backfeed your house, and it still 0–60 in 3.8 seconds. Rivian got a lot right, but they missed that piece.

    0-60 times with harvester

    Couldn’t agree more about having the power when you need it. Ever had someone try to block you from passing even when it was safe—then they sped up just as you did, forcing you into oncoming traffic? It’s happened to me. Of course, not when I’m driving something like a Tesla or the Lightning. My...

    0-60 times with harvester

    I’m not suggesting Scout needs to go wild here, but I wouldn’t hate a 2.5 or even a 2.6 on a "performance" model. 3.5 is solid, no doubt. I’d really like to see uniformity on the harvester.

    Model X can do it and Cybertruck.. I think most of Tesla's do it.

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Hehe… I’ve had plenty of close calls hanging on to the last few percent—dragging out RV cords and adapters, hoping to find an outlet when the range wasn’t enough. Charging stations aren’t always reliable, especially the remote ones. And I don’t always stick to highways, so it’s hit-or-miss to...

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Other reason why the harvester needs to be able to recharge to 100%, and it's not just national parks, it's going anywhere you want to go but not having a convenient way to charge. Or simply the Peace of mind Why America’s National Parks Still Don’t Have Enough EV Chargers...

    Hehe.. The only one that ever scared me was in a model X.

    0-60 times with harvester

    I wouldn't say Overkill. You don't have to have a 0 to 60 like that all the time. For example, Tesla has a chill mode and it used to be called ludicrous mode or sport mode. It is now but still it's nice to have when you want it

    We do ;) and it is a consideration. A 3.5 is a good average these days

    0-60 times with harvester

    Agree, I'm just pointing out weight shouldn't be much Assuming the battery is built for the correct parameters, there shouldn't be any problem moving the weight of the vehicle is my only point.

    0-60 times with harvester

    I don’t think the battery affects 0–60 times much, even with extra weight. It's more about the motors. Rivian uses four motors to handle the load, while Tesla goes with three in its high-performance models—so acceleration comes down to drivetrain design, not battery size.

    0-60 times with harvester

    Hoping Scout can hold 3.5 second 0–60 with the Harvester. Even 3.8 would be nice—extended-range Lightning hits that despite its weight. Id imagine the curb weight will be similar. Might even have a sporty model that does 2s.
