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’m sure they went in prepared for all scenarios and have plans in place. I don’t think they decided on this big of a venture and didn’t prepare for legal hurdles and contingencies. I’m also pretty sure getting a $$$ deal on building there doesn’t allow a legal change as part of the deal-sounds a bit corrupt to me? Though it would have been a great way to negotiate it
Politicians are liars. Elon had a commitment from Texas to change their DTC laws before moving Tesla HQ and SpaceX to Texas. The politicians never delivered. Tesla literally has to ship cars that are made in Texas, out of Texas, then back into Texas for delivery to a Texas buyer. Yes, we are all shocked. Any promise from a politician is literally worthless. Yes, I realize that Tesla and SpaceX were given a a ton of financial incentives so the deal was still a good one.
I haven't been following this specific lawsuit closely. I am familiar with Tesla's problem but this is different since the complaint is not against state dealer laws but from dealers claiming breach of their contract with VW that they get to sell VW cars in the US? I'm trying to figure out if this will be applied federally or will be a state by state fight?
Right, that’s a very good point. They have a contract to sell VWs. Also, I can’t believe that Scout and Scott as the CEO weren’t expecting this and preparing behind the scenes before the first lawsuit was even filed. They are going to keep suing until a judge won’t let them anymore. I’m not giving it a second thought.
Meanwhile, I’m still planning on my factory pick up!
