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.
I don’t think I realized the battery difference between the Ram and Scout. 62kWh vs 93kWh, and both do the same range on a full charge. Is the Ram just significantly heavier and that’s why? I would expect all things being similar the Ram would be capable of more like 200 miles on that charge.
Difference between cant engineer good cars. And being able to engineer good cars.
 
Same boat and having had dodge neon in my early days that went lemon law so not much respect for them but just my experience
My family is largely mechanics, they love to own and drive dodge, but won’t work on them or anything under the same umbrella, I had a 200 and my uncle refused to even change the battery on it for my mother, it’s got a cracked speed sensor and constantly throws ABS but well, the car is no longer mine. It’s still in the driveway and it’s driven daily. It’s been a strong car, but with many problems my charger was relatively reliable and a lot of fun and I would consider trading our Volt for the charger EV I would not go back to a “Dodge power plant”

I think it may have been @SpaceEVDriver that brought up some concerns regarding battery size vs estimated range vs likely aerodynamics and weight. I'll still really hopeful that Scout over delivers on range, but it just seems like things don't add up right. Hopefully it really is just superior engineering from a team not shackled by the legacy of "we've always done it this way".

These numbers make sense.

The Scout is likely to get 2.4 miles/kWh in EPA estimates, so 150 miles is reasonable.

The RAM is likely to pretend to be more powerful than necessary, so it's likely to get 1.6 miles/kWh. To me, 93 kWh to go 145 miles is believable. Dumb, but believable.

The Scout will deliver better performance while being less obnoxious.
 
I was joking. Wanted to see who would say something first
I was gonna say me and uncle jamie have had plenty of talks about this. And they don't have plans for this for a while. Spending $8mil+ on a commercial that people will say "another EV🙄" is too much for them to spend right now. Give them a few years in production and then we will see a Scout commercial. Personally i think Rivian should have done one this year considering R2 is coming.
