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.

. Just wanted to watch the new Brick by Brick Scout video in large format
Here’s what I find interesting about this entire Audi using Scouts platform.
1. It’s normally said not to buy into a 1st Generation model, but obviously Audi has huge faith in Scout, and so do we.
2. Audi’s Land Rover Competitor could be 3-4 years after Scout’s are started being produced, which would give Scout plenty of time to iron out any issues. While also being able to provide a Factory that can handle 3 cars at once. Because we all can expect the first 2 years to be a learning curve for Scouts factory.
Yeah- I think you are pretty close. I’d say 12-18 months if all this pre training is occurring and they get enough 0 series vehicles out to fix kinks, etc…. The fact that winter testing was last year and presumably summer testing was this past summer that’s a huge advantage for learning how the new underbody portion of the vehicles will perform. Zonal is coming from Rivian so that’s established. I’m sure cross-over command functions and operating systems are being designed so it really ends up being mainly fit and finish and understanding whether employee training was successful. And hearing them say they are paying better than most would lead me to think people want to stay at those jobs and not fail so they think with their game planning they are probably further ahead than we realize. So(probably like most) forget that just because we aren’t seeing finished scouts doesn’t mean they aren’t grating away at these things
If it’s 0% financing then there is no interest to deduct so it comes out to the same thing if the annual interest is below $10k, right?
That’s what it seems to me. Because then there’s no interest. Which the tax deduction would take that interest and deduct it.
Ah - I messed up! Deductions vs credits... so I found this
Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at automotive services and technology provider Cox Automotive, and his team reportedly analyzed the proposed auto loan interest deduction. They found that if the average car owner pays $2,000 in interest over a year, they could save about $400 on their taxes under the initial House GOP version of the proposal.
So only a portion of the interest would be canceled out with the tax plan. The 0% interest would be a much better deal.

I rock an 11" Ipad Pro. So im somewhat getting to that point. Im just used to having an Ipad in my hand from working on BMWs
Crazy. It looks like a Dakar car. I hope they don’t change it too much. That would be fun to see rolling down the road.
It’s on 33s with lockers and skid plates. If it just looks like a Tucson when they are done people are going to be so disappointed.
It’s kinda cool looking but the name is all wrong.
OOOFfffff - Looks like an FJ had an affair with a Cybertruck or Hummer that was the love child of a Pontiac Aztec and a 4X4 Vega.
That belt line is horrific too.
The windows would make it feel like you were sitting on a low bench inside a Kazakhstani prison cell.

The Jeep Recon and the Hyundai Crater both look like someone fed a generative AI a prompt of, “design an off-road SUV.”
The Jeep prompter’s cookies were filled with images of every other SUV from the past two decades. It feels like they just took things from every SUV and added the seven slots to the front.
The Crater’s prompter had just been marathoning Mad Max.
My eyes slip right off the Recon to any other vehicle nearby and get snagged in the terrible corners and crevices of the Crater.
Neither has soul or character, IMO.
That’s not to say all vehicles must be creatively unique. Most vehicles look like bars of soap to me. But it would be nice to have some unique-looking vehicles from time-to-time.

Oh. Its real?
My LORD, I didn't even bother reading anything after I saw it. Just assumed it was AI generated in 20 seconds. So there you go!
As on what my Uncle Scotty calls them, “Jelly Bean Off Roader”.
The Hyubdai is real but they aren’t going to make it according to one of the posts I read. Just incorporate aspects of it to their XRT trims.Oh. Its real?
