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.

If I was in love with the new Dcout and waiting patiently I think I’d jump on one of these. But I’ve said that before about it. It says Gold in the subtle ways why still feeling relevant as a modern EV. And the size is great!This will be interesting to see.

Scout. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride.
Remember the built in search on the forums is a great place to start getting answers to your many questions.
Typically I welcome everyone to the forum. I will say welcome to the community and there’s almost 3 years of information on here so have fun searching the topics that are important to you. Typically I will say @Jamie@ScoutMotors is a great follow and keeps us updated on what’s happening from the manufacturer side. Typically I will say if you can’t find something and need help just ask, someone typically knows the answer and will very kindly answer, even if it’s something they have answered before.
@SpaceEVDriver is one of those forum members who always answers questions. He’s a fountain of knowledge when it comes to EVs, owning a Lightning and Mach E. With his background he provides detailed information about the road trips he goes on, charging times, and costs. Those of us who have never owned EVs have found him to be very helpful and quite a few of us are considering BEVs thanks to the wealth of knowledge he has shared with us.
Some of us aren’t interested in self driving. Some of us are. That’s okay. At the moment @Jamie@ScoutMotors Has posted that the Scout is projected to utilize Level II+.
All of us forum members may not agree, but we have informative, respectful and fun conversations to help the next 2 plus years pass quickly. And in that’s spirit I welcome you to this community.
I get your point, but the bus doesn’t park in my garage, go precisely when I want to, and drop me at my exact destination. I’m with the majority here in that the current tech isn’t that useful apart from smart cruise control, but if we someday get to the point where I can get in the car and it takes me wear I want to go while I nap, read, binge watch Andor, or make a pizza in my portable electric pizza oven, then that would be seriously interesting to me.
Plus the bus driver gets really irritated when I leave beach chairs in the trunk because I’m definitely gonna go to the beach soon.
Yes. VW’s tech development boss said. "Although the ID.2 is not expected to be sold in the US"
That’s a pretty weird way to introduce yourself to the community.
I don’t blindly adopt technology just because it’s new. I take the time to understand it. And I understand automated driving and route finding because I’ve developed software for it; I’ve worked with teams who have developed it for spacecraft and for extraterrestrial rovers; I’ve taught students to develop it for both digital games and for physical robots.
The technology that’s being rushed to market and pushed on consumers isn’t ready. And it’s not going to be ready any time soon. I don’t volunteer to waste a bunch of my money to be a beta tester.
I will add that I don’t disagree with this thinking but everything Scout has promoted is a hands-on tactile experience. I think some cars are meant for commuting and in time it will happen. I read of a term once called “platooning” where self driving cars and/or magnetic based “hover” cars will travel in small platoons to reduce resistance and keep cars heading the same places together. This all sounds cool as tech advances and successfully demonstrates safe and expected behavior but until it is tried and true I prefer not to be forced into it in a new vehicle. There will be enough headaches which will come with a brand new model from a brand new manufacturer and adding tech that isn’t fully refined just adds to the frustration. Fully autonomous driving is like SSBatteries - until other companies prove longer term real world success I don’t want to be the guinea pig. Fortunately for now SM is sticking with level 2+ which is pretty solid tech at this point
