  • 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.

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    If they come to Boston (and my schedule allows) I will join you all there!

    Don't forget, I get half! :p

    Google Gemini AI Scout Images

    Wow, Gemini did a good job with that render. That's a good guess for the Traveler's tailgate without the spare tire carrier. 😯 I love the trim color continuation on the trailer, that's brilliant.

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Oh, you mean you did not see the latest Easter-egg in the July update photos? Well, I guess I can't talk about it now without spoiling it for you. ;)

    Updates - moving to every other month?

    I'm also putting money on Friday, August 7th. Friday is the best day for updates IMHO.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    Wil Wheaton does a good job in the audio-books I have. It is especially funny in Ready Player One, since the book mentions him by name in the context of the book's story.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    I'm not a mystery/true crime fan, so I can't help you there. Sci-fi on the other hand - for that I can make some recommendations: We are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis Taylor The Martian* or Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (excellent if you like 80's nostalgia)...

    No, that's what he said! :p

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    What is your genre preference, @cyure ? I have a diverse collection of audio-books, they are my preferred long drive entertainment option. So I should be able to make some suggestions.

    R2 Launch Watch

    Finding "impeccable clean" bathrooms would be a lot easier if there is a Bucee's or a QuickTrip along your route. ;)

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

    I don't think the problem is only the price. I have seen several posts from folks that have converted their Slate reservation into an order. They said their trucks are scheduled for delivery in June or July of 2027. That's tentative. So even with a reservation they will have to wait a year for...

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

    I hope for everyone's sake they don't try and put a 160HP engine in the Harvester. The engine should be sized to provide the average energy needed when towing a trailer on flat ground at highway speeds. Anything more than that is wasted space and weight. Scout has already mentioned multiple...

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

    Sounds like a good plan. You should be able to make due with a fairly small power station. When the power station runs low, you can charge it from the Scout's V2L if grid power isn't available. That is what I do with my EcoFlow and Ioniq 5 V2L.

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

    I think you are going to love your EREV when Scout delivers. Your use case is a perfect example of what a EREV can do better than a BEV and better than an ICE. EV around town when you don't need the range, gas for the extended trips where fast charging isn't an option. Extra range to accommodate...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    Welcome to the circus! We are not too rowdy, and there are some really excellent engineering types that will explain stuff if you ask.

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    To flat tow (that is, tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground) would require disengaging the electric motors to allow the wheels to spin freely. The regeneration capability in a BEV comes from using the motors as generators. A "mild pusher motor" would also require using the motors in...

    Rechargeable Key Fob

    Given the extra work a modern key-fob has to do, I love the idea of a rechargeable fob.

    First Time EV Owner: Live experience report

    Might I suggest you add this as a new thread in the Suggestion Box section? This is a great idea! I know that the rechargeable batteries I use in my remotes don't last as long as standard batteries do, but with a car's key fob that wouldn't matter. Recharging would be easy, you can do it right...

    Modular add-ons

    A fun zombie apocalypse survival kit sounds like an excellent inclusion with purchase. Here is my suggestion for contents: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2C5PHB
