  • 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.

    Harvester Battery Size

    Oof! Even last year, before I bought the EV, in the summer time we put more gas through the lawn mower than the car (the PHEV... in the summer with local driving we often got ~2000 miles or more out of our 11gal tank). But the week or two I had to drive the jeep for stuff, it was just like you...

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2025

    We’re running late, but the goal was 2-2:30 or so. We’ll be the one with the porch light on :). Actually, no idea, and yes, top secret. My uncles father was famous for tri tip, and had a secret seasoning (one of the people behind “Santa Maria bbq”, if you have heard of that). He passed away...

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2025

    Happy thanksgiving! Although, I must admit. A few things. I really, really dislike the parades. Not thanksgiving parades in particular… just all parades :P. I… don’t actually enjoy traditional thanksgiving dinner either. I’ve never liked turkey. I’ve tried it baked, basted, fried, smoked...

    Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

    So, my new EV has this. And it is something I've been curious about. So far, no issues. But potentially, sure. What I would probably prefer, is a simple "ridge" that follows the edge of the driver seat forward to the console area. Not sure how high that ridge needs to be. But primarily it would...

    But what about sharing un-interesting things? :D.

    Jeep Recon

    Yeah, I'm on team 33in tires as well. I've been 100% fine with my ZJ's 31's for over 15 years. And since I'm not into hardcore offroading atm, 33's is easily enough to get to the "bad trailheads" style of offroading I do these days (for backpacking/mountain biking). Which is also why I'd...

    Jeep Recon

    The frunk on my Ioniq is already small enough (1.8cu ft IIRC. Enough for a tire repair kit, charger/adapters, a 12v battery booster, and some outdoor blankets). I don't think I'd want a smaller one.

    Jeep Recon

    I share a lot of this fear. The Body on frame construction should be somewhat cheaper to make. And being made in the USA should mean less tarriffs (hopefully... maybe???). But I'm right there with you in the worry department. I've been saying this for a while. At least with the stated battery...

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

    I've received at least one photo of the Scout from my buddy attending the event, but its nothing people haven't seen before (straight on view of the Traveler). So they're definitely out/at the show.

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

    My buddy is at the LA Auto show (he's in the industry), the Hyundai is definitely there, and real.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Well of course. And it was on its best behavior at the dealer. But just wait for the next time you're either late for work, or in some more remote area, thats when issues will inevitably pop up again :P. (I was a SysAdmin for a small department in college, and the number of times I got calls...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I hope this as well. But... I'm skeptical of problems that mysteriously disappear. I never trust that they will "stay gone" so to speak.

    Show us your holiday spirit and/or Xmas tree

    Thank you for this. I have such a hard time when people/places skip over Thanksgiving. I swear that big stores go straight from Halloween, to Christmas decorations. Thanksgiving is a holiday too!

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

    Oh man, I've been watching for this one for a while. This was the one I was originally interested in to replace my Jeep ZJ. But the Scout was more to my taste. That said, there are some interesting parallels to draw here. They have a 100KWh battery, and 250 miles of range. So at best a 2.5...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Oh, so here is the game. Like 20 questions, but... in reverse. Each person that gets it, gets to give a word to describe it? And my random guess that makes me giggle: Scout Sno-globe :D

    Purpose built mountain bike racks

    I'm with you there! Pivot is a brand thats got a great reputation, that I've never really gotten into. I usually build from frames, and my nice wheelset is boost, not superboost, so its just sort of never been on my radar. But I hear great things about DWlink and the Trail329. I'm more into...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    The other day my 7yr old turned on what he thought was a timer on the Microwave... It... was not the timer, it was instead the microwave. It was on for 10-15minutes at least before we caught it. And it was making noise, and smelling weird. I've heard stories of faulty microwaves catching fire...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I first read this as a thermos full of soap. I was going to congratulate your outside of the box thinking, both in terms of product types, and the nice juxtaposition of categories. I mean, I still think thats worth mentioning, as the thermos full of soup was a great visual. But now I'm also...

    Purpose built mountain bike racks

    Sorry, as an avid mountain biker, I almost have to laugh. Technically yes, there have been many automotive brands that have made mountain bikes over the years. But almost all of them have been "cash grabs", where the bikes themselves were... "not good". And instead, were usually open mold...
