Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

  • 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.
Then for another $2 add-on fee you get the how they are built experience (now it’s a science museum) and you tour the factory AND the post build accessories shop to see how they add graphics, winches, etc. Hershey chocolate world has their make a candy bar factory tour experience so same idea but with trucks. I’d gladly pay $8 for all the MUSEUM experiences
I think that’s a great idea!

How much for a Scout FastPass?

I think all SM would really have to do is establish a “dealership” in another state. You call them, review your order and that serves as your out of state purchase-which you can do-you just have to deal with your state taxes after you take possession. Then you add a $1 build option charge for transport delivery either to your house or to the SM factory.
Now you’ve paid SM to transport it for you “because you don’t want 600 miles added because SC sucks and won’t allow DTC”. I’m not sure how dealers could prevent that.
Then at the factory you establish a museum which I think SM already mentionedand you fill it with various models that serve as sit in sales models-you just don’t call it showroom but an interactive display. Then as part of the $1 admittance fee to the museum you include a driving tour of the factory site(both on and off road) which serves as a “test drive”. You paid a dollar for the “entertainment”expense. And in return you get to climb on and in them and drive them. Like a kids museum for adult “children”. For $5 you can spend the night in a yurt and/or treehouse and do an extended outdoor adventure as part of the SM museum heritage experience. Problem solved.
You definitely don't want to end up like Cody Detwiler for registering his Ferrari in Montana and then driving it in Tennessee and getting arrested for Tax evasion.

Now after say this... @Jamie@ScoutMotors please give Cody/whistlin diesel a Scout to durability test before anyone takes delivery. He found alot of flaws in the cyber truck.

Absolutely no thank you. I think I would cry. Plus I expect Scouts to be leaps and bounds better quality than a Cybertruck. Right off the bat it looks a million times better.
Better looking isn't always better durability and quality.
He would definitely find any weaknesses, but I can't watch.😅
Cybertruck and Ferrari Tributo, yes, but not a Scout. Just tell me how it ends. :ROFLMAO:
I would enjoy watching it. They need to be tested on durability. If they are just as un durable as any car on the road then it's not a Scout.

The Gwagon was hard to watch, but it showed that its not too bad. If a 200k G Wagon can be destroyed than a 60k Scout can be tested.
