  • 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 failing to refund reservation

    If the card was cancelled AND the account was closed, then no, that won't work. Scout would be notified by the card's issuing bank. Then Scout would need to credit you directly (ACH, check, gift card or by some other means to make you whole). If your card was replaced and Scout had issued the...

    Scout Traveler: Running Boards

    I think that is their plan (with the accessories building)... Kit-out your Scout directly from the factory post production.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Most DCFC chargers in the Northeast are intentionally established around existing infrastructure and restaurants. DCFC operators are very intentional about locations. There are usually gas stations either DIRECTLY on the HWY or DIRECTLY off the exit. DCFC's here tend to be just outside of the...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    This is what I like about companies like Rivian & Scout being ALL EV. They aren;t dropping half measures at something with an "ICE backstop" that they are still fully committed to (like the big 3)

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    Subscriptions are optional for a reason. You OPT in - if you feel there is commensurate value for the services rendered. And you don't need a subscription for core functions. You pay a subscription fee to off-set costs incurred by the OEM typically. In the case of Rivian, those fees are related...

    I was referring only to the email I posted (b/c there was a question re: the wording in the email)

    R2 Launch Watch

    Of course. But it all depends on the set... Some are smaller or bigger rims, some have more or less expensive tires, some are off-road oriented, etc. etc.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Pricing for an entire OEM tire and wheelset will not be cheap on any truck these days. Even 3rd party options are comparably priced to OEM's. Some cheaper steelie-type options will likely come to market for Scout eventually... Here's one example from a company that provides aftermarket forged...

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Such an odd statement

    Integrated water storage

    Good news - Looks like the Terra will likely have molle mounting panels, which is great b/c that means Scout can focus on building trucks and not get distracted by the multitude of potential accessories. A couple of these would work well mounted inside the bed.

    Where would you like to see the Traveler and Terra this year?

    I'm guessing that's the "baby wheel!!!" video? Hillarious. New England is loaded with Mola's and these guys think they've seen a whale. Classic.

    Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

    From what I'm hearing, sounds like the GM SW stack needs some serious work.

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Don't we need hydrodynamics for the beaver? What do I know! LOL. And since we are on a truck site talking external aerodynamics, this might be interesting to some:

    Reservation order

    This is not entirely true, since implementing certain parts batching techniques for OEM production creates greater efficiency on the assembly line and frees up valuable floor space. But you can have it both ways. Scout has talked about its accessory building. You could kit-out trucks in...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    While I'm on the topic of going back to an ICE truck temporarily while the R1T is in the shop (and in addition to zero lag with instant torque mentioned above), another thing I am reminded of in an ICE p/u is how imbalanced P/U trucks are with an engine up-front and no weight in the back. With...
