  • 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.
Just got home.
After TJ's, I plugged in my home address and asked Google to route me home. Google was very worried that I would arrive home with -20% charge so it very helpfully routed me to a charger. I didn't think I'd need it, but I decided to try stopping at a new-to-me charger five minutes away from TJ's. That charger was full, so I happily hopped back on the freeway and asked Google again what it thought. It was still very worried that I would arrive with -20%, so offered up another stop (actually, it offered two stops, which makes zero sense. Google has worse range anxiety than a real person). So, I let it route me to a V4 brand-T charger. Those have nice, long charging cables, so I was able to use only one charging stall. I put in 25% charge so I could convince Google that I would arrive home with 5%. Google was still worried, but stopped nagging me.

I arrived home with 21% charge. Sigh.

Even the robots are trying to give us anxiety.
It’s awesome that Google chimes in now. Helpful for us newbies who will have some range anxiety in the beginning. Thanks for the updates. BTW what your go-to at TJ. Nothing like a tangent topic from car talk 😀

For meals, any of their tamales are great.
For snacks, I really like the dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
And for drinks, I like their limeade.

They do have good tamales. Remembering one with chicken and corn-I think. And the shredded beef. Guess I just need to eat dinner-now I’m hungry 😀
