  • 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.

    Yes. The accessories run off a 12V battery. The HVB (High Voltage Battery) charges the 12V battery through a DC to DC converter as needed. With my Lightning, there is a common issue that people experience with OTA updates failing due to the 12V battery being below 90% SOC. This happened to me...

    EV reservation holders, would you consider the Harvester

    Welcome to the Scout Community! Solid reasoning there. For those with good charging infrastructure in your area, it's hard to make the case for Harvester. However, I still think Scout was smart to offer the Harvester for those who live in areas with charging deserts or those with range anxiety...

    I love my used Lightning I bought in September, but now with gas prices spiking, I'm even more glad I bought it when I did. Maybe too long of a roadtrip for you, but I can't say enough good things about the dealer where I got my Lightning, Greenwave Electric Vehicles. Their main location is in...

    If anyone is interested in a deep dive into the DTC issue, I recommend the book Direct Hit by Daniel Crane. It's a fascinating look at the battles that mostly Tesla fought across the country in order to be able to sell direct to consumer. They had wins and losses in different states. It really...

    Check and make sure it's the cylinder and not the ignition switch. The switch is lower down on the column and there's a metal rod between the cylinder and the switch that moves the switch when you turn the key. When I had my 1976 Scout II in high school, the ignition switch locked up on me one...

    Welcome to the Scout community! Got any pictures of your family's old Scout?

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

    Genuinely curious. When and where do you sleep? It may well be that the Harvester is the right choice for you, and since Scout is making both powertrain options, you will be covered either way. What I, and others are trying to understand is that from the perspective of someone who owns and has...

    A couple summers ago, Mark Rober started an offshoot of his Crunchlabs channel called Camp Crunchlabs. The idea was that it was like a summer camp and you could sign up your kids and then he put out a video each weekend where he had guest scientists on and they did science experiments and...

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

    I'm in MA too. Further west, closer to the NY border. My house and the area I drive regularly to do site visits for customers is at least as big as the area you have circled, and also in an area without many chargers. I drive a full BEV Lightning. Do I worry about range or fast chargers along my...

    Snowstorm 2026

    The snow stopped here mid-afternoon. We ended up with around 12" added to the substantial amount we still had on the ground from the last big storm and several smaller snow events since then. My snowbanks are getting pretty tall. Running out of room to put it. As usual, the Scout was up to...

    Got a plow on that F150? Sounds like your gonna need one. I'd offer to come down with the Scout and plow, but it's not registered and it's stuck in low range permanently. Would take a long time to drive to NJ. Also, I would have to stop at every gas station since I only have a 6 gallon boat...

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

    On that theme, there is a fair in West Springfield, MA called The Big E. It's something like the 5th largest fair in the US. People from all the New England states attend. I'd like to see the Scouts there. https://www.thebige.com/

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

    Also, I looked at the Scout Nationals website the other day and it said something like we hope the Scout Motors Terra and Traveler will be at the show this year. This indicates that Scout has not committed to Nats yet for 2026. @Jamie@ScoutMotors do you know if Scout will be at Nats this year?

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Went to the post office this morning and mine was in my mailbox. I haven't checked the mail in a few days so not sure which day it arrived. I'm in MA for geographical reference. There is a bulk mail permit on the envelope that says Buffalo, NY but I'm not sure if that is where it was mailed...

    New England Region

    We're happy to claim you as one of our own. Hopefully, those of us planning on factory pickup can keep in touch. It would be really great if our pickup dates were close together so we can get a convoy rolling back up to New England from SC. Are you planning on factory pickup?

    Thanks Jaime. Any chance you all have a 2026 events schedule yet, or at least a few opportunities to see the concepts? I'm going to put in my usual plug here for the NY International Auto Show.
