  • 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.

    Arizona - Sonora Desert Scouts

    I skipped out on the glass roof option of the MachE specifically for the rear seat passengers (my kids). Even thought the glass is supposedly very efficient at keeping out heat, I think the sun above them when riding around would get old fast. I have heard that for front seat passengers, it's...

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    The MachE and other vehicles have "blended" regen on the brake. When you initially press the brake (lightly) it uses regen only. As you press harder, it starts to initiate the friction brakes as well. Feels just like a "normal" 2-pedal car, coasting and such, but you still get to regen as long...

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    There is one easy answer - this will be a setting like every other EV. That’s the beauty of an EV platform, it gives you MORE options. And I agree, once you go 1 pedal, you never go back (until I jump into my 65 RCS and blast down some forest roads ?)

    Harvester Talk: Q&A

    I know there’s a lot of nonEV folks on here, so I think it’s important to temper expectations a bit. We will know more as time goes on but barring some incredible leap of technology, this is likely scenario: 1. Your vehicle configuration will have a HUGE impact on range, with or without...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    That’s not the way a range extender works. It generates electricity to charge the battery. It’s not a hybrid drive system like you see in a performance car where the battery adds torque to the gas engine when accelerating and charges when decelerating. A range extender in an electric vehicle...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I don’t believe the engine will provide any power to the drivetrain. It is a generator, running on gas, that outputs electricity to charge the battery pack.

    What did you reserve?

    I am curious to see how many users keep the Harvester option in 2027/2028. When costs are released and with continued (slowly) improving infrastructure for charging, I am not sure it will be as popular an option as these reservations suggest. As a current EV owner, I understand the gas extender...

    Say hello to the new Scout® Terra™ Truck and Scout® Traveler™ SUV

    Really, fantastic job. Hit so many of the "must-haves" from the legacy Scout community. I know removable top was a big one, but the cabana top I think is a great option, and I read that possibly a glass panoramic roof will be available? I called my kids in for the reveal and they both were...

    What did you reserve?

    Traveler EV. Wife already has a MachE and loves it, so it’s my turn. No need for the range extender if mileage is 300+ for us
