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 Scoutsâ„¢. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Nothing has changed.
Promises = "PRODUCTION" (not prototypes and product development), it's still early days and they are still building a factory.
Not sure why there is any confusion. Seems unreasonable to to think any differently at this stage in the game - I'll blame all the clickbait coming from unverified sources being pushed by AI agents to the echochamber of the internet.
My recollection/understanding of Hyundai/kia software is that when you set regen to 0, it also disables regen on the brake pedal, ie I when you’re in that mode you only get friction brakes. That never made sense to me, am I confused about that? I like coasting when I take my foot off the gas but still want regen when I hit the brakes.
100% agree. And as someone else noted-if only one or two sources are saying this I’m not buying it anyway. Clickbait for sure. Until SM announces it I’m not worried. And again-things appear to be running quite well based on monthly updates and visuals of the plant progress. We are all anxious but so far SM has been more transparent than nearly any other car company so I’m just keeping an even keel and will assume if things change I’ll hear it from SM on this forum
I own a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. When regen is set to 0, the friction breaks engage for the first few times but then the car reverts to using regen breaking. This is actually mentioned in the service manual as a regular maintenance activity to keep the friction breaks from freezing up due to lack of use. I have done this a few times and can confirm that the regen engages at level 0 when pressing on the breaks (after the first few times) from my own use.
Makes sense to me as the driver of a manual transmission. I typically downshift to slow down before using regular brakes. I do NOT do that in icy/snowy conditions though as it upsets everything and you can easily lose control/traction. In those cases, I want to use the brakes like as gently as possible.
Beyond that, I've read that in some cases more range is gained by coasting for longer distances than using regen, but can't confirm if that plays out in the real world.
