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.
The US automobile industry falls further behind. 
The October YTD global EV sales accounted for about 17% of all vehicle sales.
All vehicle (not just BEV) sales in the US accounted for 18% of global sales.
In other words, EVs are as big a world market as the entire US light vehicle market. And EV sales are growing by double-digit percentages. US sales are not. The fastest-growing manufacturer doesn’t sell vehicles in the US.
US Automotive Industry:
In the first half of 2025, the total worldwide sales of all light vehicles (ICE, BEV, and everything in between) by US manufacturers (Ford, GM, and Tesla—the rest combined account for negligible sales on the global scale) was less than one third (28%) of the global EV sales (~3.6 million compared with ~12.8 million).
The US automobile manufacturers’ boards should be cleaning house of their C-suites and finding people who understand the future of global markets. Of course, those C-suites are fighting against a rapidly fluctuating set of random policies that make it quite difficult to compete domestically or globally, but this isn’t something that was unforeseeable; it’s been building for at least decade as US manufacturers refused to take BEVs seriously.

Global EV sales jump 21% in 2025 as Europe surges and the US stalls
Global EV sales reached 18.5 million units in 2025, driven by strong growth in Europe, while the US lags due to tax credit rollbacks.

US stall is fine, It's happening in China as well. From my sources I have been told it's because people are getting ready for EREVs. And they would rather keep their older EVs until EREVs are readily available.The US automobile industry falls further behind.

Also side note, Rivian not adding Car Play is wild. They seem to continue to avoid it. So they just keep adding more stuff into their OS. Which is fine, but wouldn't it be easier to just add Car Play and AA?
