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.
Another one of those cool things we won’t get here.
Politics. Road tax for consumer vehicles is generally based on gas sales. For a long time, it was considered a relatively fair method-it indirectly dealt with weight and mileage. EV's completely side stepped gas taxes. There is tax on electricity, but that does not go to road maintenance. So far, the EV taxes are being set to at least approximate the lost gas tax revenue for road maintenance. Honestly, given the additional weight of EV's, it probably does not equal the road damage yet.
Now heavy vehicles also have mileage and weight based taxes-but those are more complex than the simple gas tax. Eventually we will probably get a big brother tax system-where vehicles report their use to the Goverment and tax is based on mileage and weight. Hell, you might even have to prepay and the vehicle will brick itself if you account is empty. Yeah, what fun that will be.

Yeah-it says concept on it so assumed it was just for public consumption but I did like the look nonetheless
That’s basically how historic vehicles in NJ work. Luckily my classic isn’t registered as historic, along with all my car show friends. Because we found out that it was a huge ripoff of a system.
