Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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.

By the numbers, my V8 daily driver stomps my Supra in every quantifiable metric, but the Supra just feels better to drive. The hardest part of driving it is remembering where gears are, and to remember to NOT shift to 6th gear. All of my vehicles are manual and they have reverse in a different corner of the shifter to really mess with me, but with the Supra being a 5-speed, reverse is where 6th gear is on the other vehicles. With a high rear diff ratio, the Supra really turns higher RPMs going down the road than the other vehicles do, so your brain wants to shift to 6th. At least the inline-6 is buttery smooth at higher RPM.

I bet it’s amazing! He loves his new one but the old ones are something special.

He did a photo shoot with his after we got her.

This is an interesting twist

electrek.co

The 30% solar tax credit is dead — long live the 30% solar tax credit!

2025 looked like the end of the road for subsidized rooftop solar projects, but the home solar tax credit is still alive (kinda).

Do yourself a favor and never lease a solar system*.
It causes so many problems if you ever want to sell your home. Or if your heirs ever want to sell your home.
It’s a terrible scam.

* Every time I type “solar system,” I think of work—If you ever have the opportunity and wealth to lease an entire solar system, its star, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and everything else in it, do yourself a favor and absolutely DO IT!

I graciously except this award. I want to thank all the forum members for their invaluable experiences, information, discussion, and sometimes crazy banter. And, to the Scout team members that feed us just enough tidbits to keep us going. I will place it right next to my participation trophy. 🤣
