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.
@CP1@scoutmotors was awesome. Thanks for spending so much time with us.
Frasier was great, and was trying to get answers for all my questions.
It was great speaking with John on the way out of the stadium. Thanks for the patches!
The whole team deserves their flowers.
Yes I like it too. I wonder if we will be able to pick a clan-specific tartan for the interior of our Scouts.

Same as the seat ejection button in 007’s Aston Martin, only electrocution.
And we don't have to worry about a "dealer" plate !
We have had multiple convertibles and never one that leaked. Now the plastic window in our Z3 got so cloudy you couldn’t see out of it.
We have never had a roof like the cabana roof. How likely is something like to eventually leak. My Scout will be garaged and won’t be sitting out in the elements.
But what if I pick Highlander? There can be only (1) Highlander!
Can you go to the TN event and sit on a phonebook and take the same picture
JK!
Don’t bait her-you know she willCan you go to the TN event and sit on a phonebook and take the same picture
Hey you know I totally would!Can you go to the TN event and sit on a phonebook and take the same picture
This may not be popular, but I just do not like this color or color combination. The color on the top would look good on the entire body.
(later that day, @cyure is sweating profusely, trying to find a phone book)
My first impression when I saw it was the same. It is big. I will keep saying it that I think it is too big.
So, I just returned from a trip. Annapolis, MD to Gatlinburg, TN. 4 Adults and a mature beagle in a Pilot. Left Wed at 0600 arrived at 1500 Stopped at BJs for Gas and Cook Out for lunch in Roanoke. Stopped at BJs in Sevierville for Gas. 4-ish days of driving up and down and up and down the mountain to/from a cabin, 5 passes to Dollywood (and parking, and park meals), 4 passes to mountain coaster and putt putt. Breakfast, lunches, & dinners out, groceries (did I mention for 3 adult BOYs). Dinner in Maryville (Blackhorse brewery). Left Sunday at 0800, BJs in Sevierville for Gas. Lunch at Gypsy Circus Ciderworks in Kingsport, Gas at Buc-cees in Stuanton, home by 2130.
So, how much would this have cost me in a new Scout with or without a cabana top?
Color is very personal. I think the Scout is beautiful, the lines, design, etc, but there are colors I like better than others. I would not select this color, and that’s okay.
If it is modular, I wonder how easy it would be to add a hitch after purchase? I don't have a current need for towing, but I don't know that a camper is 100% out of my future...
We’d need to know full mileage, at a minimum. It would also help to know the miles driven up and down and etc the mountain. Maybe the cabin has L2 charging, so we could remove that up and down and etc from the equation because that charging is “free.”
For the drive between Annapolis and Gatlinburg and back, assuming an average of 2 miles/kWh, you could expect to spend approximately 565 kWh over 1088 miles. In a BEV with a 130 kWh battery, this is an approximate breakdown.
Assume starting with a full charge at $0.16/kWh, or $20.80 to fill the truck from 0% to 100% at home. Do that once before leaving and again when you get home, for $41.60 total cost.
Assume free charging for your local explorations plus a full charge before returning home. That free charge at the cabin means instead of needing to pay for 565 kWh, you only have to pay for approximately 435 kWh.
Assume the cost of charging at DCFCs is an average of $0.48/kWh, that’s 435 kWh * 0.48 = $208.80
Total cost, if you can find free L2 charging in Gatlinburg or the cabin nearby:
$208.80 + $41.60 ~= $250.
If you can’t find free charging in Gatlinburg and you decide to DCFC, the total cost will be dependent on the total miles you need to recover while there. My guess is that you might have to pay $50 more.
You can estimate this with ABRP. Map the trip between the two locations and make it a round trip, adjust the settings at the destination so that you get N hours at M kWh charging to you return the vehicle to 100% before the return trip.
