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.
Maybe I should just move to South Africa.70-Series Land Cruiser is still for sale in South Africa. The interior has even been upgraded. Starts at $67k though.

For the people
. Scale element and ironically it was on my desk when I pulled the model down. Love my Scout backpack. Would suck for hiking but makes a great work/computer bag
That’s my hang up. I like the smaller scale but the price is just too high
From what I remember when Toyota showed off that Land Cruiser concept in Japan the BEV was going to be more urban cruiser like. I don’t foresee them doing the whole rugged off road of the current 250 Series.
Australia too. Its a shame the twin turbo diesel V8 they had is being phased out.70-Series Land Cruiser is still for sale in South Africa. The interior has even been upgraded. Starts at $67k though.

That is probably one of the best sounding engines I have ever heard bounce off the rev limiter.
Hopefully those folks with money to burn will work out the bugs for us
Good.

Volkswagen CEO Says Flush Door Handles Are 'Terrible'
Volkswagen won't jump onto one of the most controversial trends in car design: the flush, often-confusing door handles found on Teslas.
insideevs.com
I knew I didn’t like those door handles.
It appears that China is in the process of banning pop out door handles. There were reportedly several instances in China when door handles failed to pop out after an accident, hampering rescue efforts and leading to fatalities.
When I first saw a Tesla with a flush door handle that’s exactly what I thought. There’s no way I’m buying anything like that.
Interesting.

Rivian Commercial Delivery Van Hits Bring a Trailer Auction
A rare chance to snag a Rivian Commercial Delivery Van popped up on Bring a Trailer, where bidding has already reached $33,500 at the time of writing. Rivian normally only sells these vans directly to fleet owners through its website, so this might be one of the only ways for an individual buyer...

Brightdrop is struggling:
- 2024: 1,529 units were sold, significantly behind Ford's 12,610 E-Transit and Rivian's 13,243 units.
- First Half of 2024: Sales reached 746 units.
- I checked one out at the auto show. It has some nice features. Amazon has purchased 12 Brightdrops to see how they perform.
Sales is one aspect, but I mean in terms of overall specs and features.
It will definitely come to market. It's a hot segment. Whether it comes to market on schedule or is any good is subject to debate.
Maybe other areas are different, but where I'm at peak hours are 4-9PM weekdays which is pretty easy to remember so we just schedule accordingly. That said, having to just plug in the car when you get home and not think about rate structures at all is a nice feature to have running in the background and I could see becoming a standard/must-have feature for customers down the road.This seems handy.
