  • 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.

    Charging at a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger Site

    This seems like it is relatively not-intuitive enough, that it is definitely worth a writeup, so thanks for that :). I haven't ever used a Tesla charger (and if I did, I wouldn't need an adapter, as we are native NACS). Beyond that, I don't think I've ever seen a Magic dock charger either. But...

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

    I sometimes wish I was ok with the interior of the Rivians. I like so much about them... other than "everything related to the UI and things I touch inside the car". I'm sure the secondary market will be hot for a while, but I can't imagine it stays that way for long, as simply... this is a...

    Trim names…

    I totally understand/get this. I... actually wasn't a fan of the organization of Scouting. I didn't have any bad experiences, I personally hated the red tape/bureaucracy. I loved learning the outdoor skills/other stuff, and my friends/leaders. It was just the actual badges/etc were a...

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    I've had favorite offroading tires in the past, but I haven't ever really had a favorite road tire. Thanks for the recommendation, and I'll keep them in mind for the next go around. And I'll be curious to see how long these next tires last. They were priced fairly similar to the ones on your...

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    To be clear, I didn't have to replace them because of wear, it was the situation where because the tire wasn't patchable, and the other tire was past the 3/32" difference in diameter that they recommend for tires on an AWD vehicle. But yes, not super happy about it all. So, I know with hybrid...

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    Unfortunately, this one was a bit of a "caught with my pants down" sort of situations for me. So I may have performed a bit sub-optimally :/. Usually before something like this, I research the crap out of it, and know exactly what I want. But I hadn't done that yet for this one, as I was...

    Agreed (Eagle Scout here as well). When I mentioned this in the past, I also think its an obvious tie in. But I'm not sure the legal teams for BSA and Scout would see it the same way.

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    I was wishing for a spare too, for sure! On the upside, the fix a flat worked pretty well. Even sealing the tire that couldn't be patched. So its good to "test that out" in a non-road trip sort of situation. I'd rather test that out "locally", rather than 50% of the way through our 850mile road...

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    Well, bad news everyone. TLDR: Turns out, Tire wear is a problem. Tires expensive. But tires expensive + cheap charging == less than driving Hybrid The short version is we got a flat tire on the way to the airport the other day (picking up a nephew who is coming to stay with us for a week)...

    What trim levels would you like to see at launch?

    Oooo We know the reaper name has precedent. And they are built in South Carolina… Seems like a “Carolina Reaper” crossover could be an interesting future limited edition… :P. (The Carolina Reaper is a famous hot chili pepper, the hottest in the world until recently)...

    R2 Launch Watch

    100% agree. All of it. I understand why launch editions exist, and why that is often what is done for new models. They produce less of them, with more margin, while they are still ramping up production. When production pace ramps up, it makes more sense to produce the higher volume/cheaper...

    Trim names…

    I think Base Camp has a decent chance. But it does imply a "base" vehicle, even though "base camp" doesn't have to be at the "base" of the mountain. But, to be honest, I'm sure they have people working on this internally, and probably giggling at this thread when they see it. So at least we've...

    Trim names…

    I don’t think it’s that simple. $60k is a lot of money, yes. But does $60k automatically give you a “fancy” vehicle (high trim/lots of base features)? In my opinion, no, it doesn't. Sadly, there is no "I spent this much on a vehicle, so I automatically get heated seats/steering wheel, and 2...

    Plus, I mean. Not all outdoorsy stuff/people live near mountains... And then, even if you do something different than that, if you put a hierarchy on it, it implies some of the things that are bottom of it, are somehow worse. So like... you could do things like: Plains, Forest, Mountain...

    Trim names…

    The hard part here is, as J says, finding things that are interesting, and unique, and... not going to make people who buy the peasant version feel like they're being slighted. You could do mountaineering sorts of names like mentioned. Thats outdoorsy, and on brand. Trailhead, Base Camp...

    Trim names…

    :D Hmmm. So, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you don't want to have the lowest cost model be called "Peasant"? or "Plebian"?

    R2 Launch Watch

    Rumors are that Audi will be building an offroading vehicle based on the Scout Platform, built at the same plant. I don't think I've heard anything confirmed. But I wouldn't be surprised. Audi doesn't have a G wagon equivalent. And the US overlanding/fancy offroading market is definitely there...

    I don’t know. $12500 is still a lot of money. And in terms of percentage, it’s 27% over the $45k announced price. That same percentage applied to a $60k scout puts us over $76k.

    Not as much as Europe. But the general rule here continues to be "Gas prices bad, EV sales go boom". So of course I find this whole situation a bit hilarious. Kill off the Tax credit, and the EV sales go down. But... make gas prices go up by $2/gal (what they did locally), and suddenly EV...

    What's the current timeline??

    100% my own words, so thank you :). A pleasant distraction between things at work while I was on call.
