  • 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.

    Road Trip: Harvester vs EV vs Gas Hog

    Is there a pricing flaw here? The Terra EV is penalized for a full charge of the battery and all necessary recharging. The Terra harvester is charged for the initial batttery fill up and the 15 gallons of gas we assume the tank holds, but a stop is required to refuel so more gas is being added...

    Google Gemini AI Scout Images

    Mountainside is fine but I'm looking forward to trail use. ⛰️🛻 I'm hoping Scout starts showing off these types of experienes in real life and fewer glamping shots once they have sturdy protypes to play with.

    Update?!?

    I understand the marketing fatigue though I don't experience it myself thanks in large part to the folks on this forum. Scout had a difficult decision to make early on whether to show off prototypes and risk future "vaporware" accusations or to show off the beautiful vehicles and build brand...

    How would you build your Scout?

    I asked Gemini to make a configurator image for me. I'm really hoping Scout comes in under the pricing Gemini suggests. 😆 Not my colors or interior preference but still fun.

    How would you build your Scout?

    My build would focus on everything I need and nothing I don't in order to get into the backcountry of Colorado and surrounding outdoors. This includes moderate 4x4 routes over forest and mining roads, nothing extreme, and overlanding adventures lasting 2-3 days. I'm happy to negotiate the...

    How would you build your Scout?

    My build is Thanks for the confirmation. That fabric top is a big concern of mine. Might be great for 5 years or so but I just can't see how it would hold up like a glass or metal roof over the long haul or how it would manage road noise and weather insulation for that matter. I'm also...

    How would you build your Scout?

    Do you recall what the top of the cabana roof looks like when closed (from the outside)? Is the fabric exposed to the elements or is there a more sturdy cover that retracts with the fabric?

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I agree with you and with @Hedges1 but at a slightly lower personal refuel range requirement (200-225 miles). I look for about 3 hours of driving as being ideal between stops, but I am no longer a road warrier. The point in favor of EREVs is that they acheive 250-300 miles of range between...

    Wheel Style Poll

    I do too! But, I really need the aero wheels for range. I wish #2 came with 18's. In my opinion the design doesn't go well with larger wheels. Maybe thats why #2 has the least votes. So, #4 it is until Scout comes out with a better option. I would really love a riff on the steelies found on...

    That's OK. Just swing them by my house in Broomfield on the way back to South Carolina. :)

    Glad you added Salt Lake City. Seems like a big miss in the original map.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    @J Alynn How do you think the cabana roof will hold up over time? That's my biggest concern. I love the concept but I can picture worn, cracked and leaky material after several years in the sun. Maybe I''m jaded by older convertibles and soft tops on jeeps and broncos. Will the cabana roof have...

    Wow! Denver is covering a lot of territory. Feels kind of like an island actually. I'm glad I live close by.

    Local Scout Event

    @Jamie@ScoutMotors will this event in Aspen require purchasing an event pass? Tickets are pricey to say the least!

    "Bigger than I thought it would be" seems to be the general consensus. I'm hoping that at least partially an artifact or the massive roof rack.

    Website updates

    Hopefully something more like this! That's an elecrtic motor by the way.

    Google Gemini AI Scout Images

    Your sir are an AI artist! Seeing the Traveler without tire carrier inspired me to consider whether removing accessories would make the vehicle feel smaller. Many of the people in this group who have seen the traveler in person, myself included, have come away with the impression that it is a...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    This color scheme reminds me of the Scout on the Hillside I pass when traveling to our cabin above Boulder. She's beautiful.

    @CP1@scoutmotors Do those tires look like 33's to you? Just curious :)
