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.
This is pretty industry standard nowadays at the Scout price point. Personally, I've been a big advocate for Adaptive headlights which function very similarly and are much better IMO.
Can’t imagine they won’t. Nearly every new car includes as standard. I suspect it’s now tied to safety requirements but don’t hold me to that
We all want 'Adaptive' or "Matrix" auto highbeams. We all have had "auto high beams" for 30 years, if we wanted them. Rivian R1 has good ones. R2 not as much. I've driven European BMW's and Audi's on the Autobahn and village roads in Germany and they are far superior to our "Auto High Beams". Adaptive Driving Beams haven't been as widely distributed/installed in the US because they are expensive.
Lots of articles on this from the last six years. I just want everyone to understand what we're talking about and that Adaprive Driving Beams are a must, I think.

Why Is America Stuck with Bad Headlights?
A drive in a European-market 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S with matrix LEDs proves that America's headlights aren't too bright.
NHTSA to Look Straight at Headlight Regs Without Blinking
An overhaul of FMVSS 108 could open the door to advanced headlight functions that aren’t currently legal here.
Smart Headlights Finally Trickle Down to Cars in the U.S.
Federal data shows that half of all traffic fatalities happen after dark, but only one-quarter of driving happens at night. So any help is welcome.

I actually have mine turned off. I live in the city, mine has those LEDs that are supposed to turn off so they don't shine on oncoming drivers, but I don't trust it. Living in the city, I really have no need for brights.
So I presume with adaptive its high beams all the time?We all want 'Adaptive' or "Matrix" auto highbeams. We all have had "auto high beams" for 30 years, if we wanted them. Rivian R1 has good ones.
