  • 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.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Our back yard is part of their daily path. Pretty awesome to see, but the 4-AM bugling is a bit rude sometimes.

    For 3-6 months of the year, that's my wake-up call.

    If Scout is going to do custom (internal) sound easter eggs, I’d love it to be based on the sounds heard in some (all?) of the National Parks and Monuments. I think it would also be fantastic to have the background graphics update based on nearest National Park.

    FB find of the day

    We’ll see. After Ford's rudderless flapping in the breeze over the past five years regarding BEVs, I’m skeptical of everything they claim.

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

    You have the medium-sized bed, not the short bed. The Lightning has a 5.5-foot, short bed. The Terra will have a 6-foot bed. The Slate will have a 5-foot bed. I would immediately trade my Lightning with its 5.5-foot bed in for a 6.5-foot to 8-foot single-cab BEV pickup that’s lower and...

    I think it’s fair to have and express feelings of concern. We don’t really know much about what’s going to happen. Every day brings new challenges for a start-up in the automotive industry, even a very well-funded start-up like Scout Motors. They’re looking 2-3 years ahead while trying to...

    I had forgotten they exist. LOL. I don’t know how to predict anything about them with their flighty, drug-addled CEO doing stupid things all the time and the apparent infinite forgiveness their shareholders have for his nonsense.

    Rivian will still exist. And Lucid. And Scout, hopefully, but that depends on how you define “US manufacturer.” There will be a new field in 15 years. The US will be behind, but it could still recover.

    I’ve been saying the same thing for a decade.

    List Price

    Anything more than $45k for a fully-kitted vehicle is luxury to me. I’ve purchased two luxury vehicles in my lifetime: A 2022 Mustang Mach-E and a 2023 F-150 Lightning. I’m sure neither would qualify as “luxury” to certain tax-bracket people, but to me it’s not the vehicle, it’s the cost. In...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I make a 500 mile one-way, 1200 mile round-trip (200 miles local driving) drive about once or twice a month, no fewer than six times a year. I’ve been doing this drive for >30 years. I started doing it with ICEVs, moved on to a mix of HEVs and ICEVs, and now exclusively do it with BEVs. It has...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I’m keeping an eye out for an electric hydraulic pump to replace my tractor’s diesel engine with. The extra weight of 100-200 kWh of battery will add much-needed ballast. When I bought the tractor, I didn’t realize how much I’d be 1) digging through very thick limestone; 2) using the forklift...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    Our riding lawn tractor/mower is electric and it’s so much nicer than the Craftsman gas riding mower we inherited. I had to spend several hours fighting with it every season before I gave up and bought the EGO+ riding mower. I attached a 2” ball hitch so I can also pull our 5’x8’ utility trailer...

    We plug in every time we park at home. With scheduling and maximum state of charge settings, there’s no reason not to. As an added bonus, I can tell the car to precondition at any time if I need it and it’ll use shore power instead of battery power to do the preconditioning.

    The point of the Bug + trailer with the hitch mounted where it was was that it can turn 360 degrees under the trailer. So you could both push and pull the trailer. Watch the video in the link above.

    I heard the tow hitch was going on the roof. https://www.rvtravel.com/video-super-rare-vw-bug-gooseneck-trailer-parts-ii-1939/
