  • 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.
I grew up with only junkers (literally only had vehicles that we restored from junkyards). So walking long distances because of a breakdown, running out of fuel, or whatever is something I have a lot of experience with. I haven't had such an issue in more that 2 decades, but it's not a prospect that fills me with any dread.

I did turn up the heat and speed towards the end to try to eat up more energy.
Similar experience growing up, but now the opposite. Do not like being stranded at all.

I remember when I was 12 or 13 the 1966 Chevy Caprice my mom was driving us in the battery died. Called auto club, got it started and got to the end of our street and the muffler fell off! We couldn’t turn off the car because the battery wasn’t charged enough. She had a blanket in the trunk and managed to throw the muffler in the trunk so we could drive home.

This is why after I got married my husband and I only buy new cars. We bought one used and that was a CPO Z3. Everything else has been new.
