  • 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.

    Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    I wish it wasn't so. Even Tesla has a limit. This is where Scout can be different. Ford explicitly stipulates in its official Ford Protect EV coverage terms that the high-voltage battery assembly is not eligible for coverage under extended service plans because it is already protected by its own...

    Do You Want Your Scout To Have A Hands-Free Driving System?

    I enjoyed driving on the streets and back roads at a slow speed with FSD. That being said I never paid for FSD again lol.

    Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    I am actually with you on that. I think there needs to be options to keep a warranty as long as you want a warranty but also understanding prices for replacements.

    Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    Ford doesn't believe in it past 100k. You can't buy an extended warranty past that date.

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    I think the best thing about the Lightning is the cabin size. I treat it as a mobile office, and shrinking it in any way isn’t a good move. If people don’t want a full‑size truck, they should wait for the midsize version similar to a Rivian. btw.. with good posture (sitting up straight) My head...

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Agree. Perfect example is Lightning vs Silverado EV. Lightning is a full size truck, the same as the gas version. Silverado has bent in lines cutting off shoulder room. It gets way more range than the lightning but I bought the Lightning. There will be plenty of people who won't settle for a cut...

    Glass pano roof w/retractable drivable shade

    I have this on my lightning and it's very useful. I had to do clip in shade on the Tesla and didn't like it

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    Right. There should be levels from beginner to advanced user settings (unlock the settings we need). In terms of idiot proof.. Lets say you buy a new EV coming from ICE or just moving to a new manufacturer. It's not safe anymore to assume that just because you turned it on and left it idle that...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    I don’t understand why manufacturers constantly override buyer intent. I went through the exact same issue with my Lightning. It automatically shuts off after about 20 minutes, even though it doesn’t detect whether there are people or animals inside. I was able to disable it with a third-party...

    From a Tesla and Lightning Owner: Here’s What I Need to See from Scout

    I really am paying attention to the cab space compared to F150 Lightning

    Harvester Towing

    I believe these EVs need stuff like this like a kill switch. We are essentially relying on code.

    Design it to last 20 years

    Last time I checked it costs less. Try looking up what it costs to replace an entire battery. Granted sometimes certain cells can be replaced.

    Generator + Solar integration

    We need this on Scout for regular EV. It doesn't have to compete with the harvester model. It just shows thoughtfulness/utility in design
