  • 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.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    If only there was a way to be more precise. Maybe sometime in the future we'll have the technology to do so. One can only hope.

    I don't think this is correct either. NACS wasn't an SAE standard, until the IRA NEVI bill passed, and it was going to give out federal money for charging infrastructure. But the catch was that the charging infrastructure had to be able to charge any vehicles, which Tesla couldn't do at the...

    Pavement Queen

    Nice, I'm sure thats a lot of fun, although I've never lowered anything myself. I had a buddy in high school who had an old square body S10 blazer. It was on airbags, and when you parked it, it actually settled the frame onto the axle, and some of the body to the ground. After he started it...

    I mean, I'm careful not to say anything too bad about any passionate corner of car culture (or, really, anywhere). While the aesthetic isn't my cup of tea, its undeniable the level of passion/dedication it takes to have one of these vehicles. And I totally respect it when people get all into...

    Was going to mention this. Particularly the first photo. That one is quite slammed. And that doesn't work super well on body on frame vehicles with solid axles I'll admit, the first photo is well beyond my cup of tea. Its too close to the "stanced" look, which I find "a bit much" (especially...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    High mileage local driving is about the ideal way to own an EV (or, rather, I think it is, as an outsider considering making the plunge). Also, there are a lot of pretty good options out there, particularly if you're looking for an "around town" or "regional use" sort of vehicle. The farther...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Ah, I always forget the charging losses, thanks for pointing that out. The lease deals right now are crazy. But not just lease deals, honestly, most brands are trying to shove as many EV's off the lot as they can before the tax credit disappears. I'm seeing deals with $15-18k off of one of the...

    Scout! Hear me out!

    Thanks J. Sorry it was a bit rambly, but, I thought it might be helpful. Especially as it was real world range/stoppage time for someone just trying to get home as fast as possible. As I said, I've been considering a larger family vehicle, that is all electric (Ioniq 9, it has some crazy...

    Scout! Hear me out!

    I just did a ~840 mile road trip on Sunday, and have been curious about this, so I was actually counting, and timing our stops. Keep in mind this is a single day, one way trip (ie, just the return leg of a road trip to visit family). Also, keep in mind the below is all averaging about 75-80mph...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Not an EV owner, but a PHEV owner, and maybe soon EV owner (we are potentially looking at a Hyundai Ioniq 9 before the tax credit ends, and its getting pretty serious, but I'm waiting to see about work raise/etc this year before I do anything). For your charging question: 52 mile round trip...

    Lets keep speaking this into existence :D! I at least hope that if there are price increases, that reservation holders get things in at some earlier announced pricing (sort of like what Rivian ended up doing after their il-fated "lets charge more... oops, all our reservation holders are pissed...

    Scout! Hear me out!

    To be honest, given the development cycle timeline of vehicles (usually 4-5 years at least) I think at this particular point, any change in drivetrain that large (going from EV/EREV, to Hybrid or normal combustion vehicle), would likely slow things down (later release/purchase availability...

    Ok, I'm actually a little bit confused about this. So, this is a J1772 connector. Which is the Level 2 AC charger standard. This was built into the DC fast charging standard called the Combined Charging Standard 1 (CCS1), which has plugs that look like this. You can clearly see how the J1772...

    Transfer Case

    I actually brought this up in another thread. But, I'll just say that public opinion doesn't currently seem to agree with the idea. The short version, is I think this is 100% valid. EV's do have the same torque from any RPM, which means they can get away with having 1 speed. And, there was a...

    June 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Oh man. "Paying myself" for work I already do, could prove lucrative. ESPECIALLY if you include services rendered, yet not paid for. I've been mowing the lawn without compensation at this house for over 8 years now!

    June 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Well, according to my well trained eye. I am now seeing insides of buildings, that look "inside-ish". Meaning, it has important things like "lights" and "stairs". Great work! Meanwhile, I'll continue sitting here working on my patience (and trying to save pennies, and even dollars).

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    I agree, the weight of a larger tank, and another ~5-10 gal of fuel, is essentially a non-issue.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    A few thoughts on this: Driving The harvester models will have LFP batteries, which are generally perceived as better able to handle charging to 100%. We don't have details on how the battery range is calculated, but if its anything like a normal PHEV, the 150 miles is of EV range, is until...

    Make Hybred engine option with bigger gas tank and the abilty to recharge battery when vehicle is sitting.

    To clarify slightly, the "Harvester", is a drivetrain option, offered on both the Traveler SUV, and the Terra truck. The Harvester is an extended range electric drivetrain. Which means that the wheels are moved via electric motors, powered by a decently large battery pack, and a gasoline...

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    I will say, that while I'm still on team "bench seat", if the bench seat was a plain/simple bench seat without a folding console/ability to independently change leg room for at least the driver and front right passenger, I'd likely be rethinking it. And on modern vehicles, the 6th seat while...
