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.
Sure, but you’re applying logic to a system that at one point had a used F-150 Lightning Platinum priced at $193,000 and brand-T dumpsters being sold for nearly $300k. The possibility that Stellantis thought they could get in on those high prices wouldn’t surprise me.

It's this kind of hubris that kills people. Wassym basically said it's not a problem because they figured out a way to power the doors from either batteries. Job done! Ok what happens if..
- The actuator doesn't work due to burned out motor/gear strips/debris/ice/etc.?
- Control path failure due to wiring harness damage from deformation/fire/water so the open command doesn't reach the actuator?
- Software failure
- Power is available but not deliverable to that door?
You and me both brother. Hell, once I tell my wife about those door handles it's game over man.
On a related note, one thing that attracted me to Scout was the lack of Tesla-chasing bullshit like electronic door handles. As time goes on this is proving a very wise move.
Same. I never liked those disappearing door handles and I kept saying in my head what about an emergency. This is not a great answer as far as I’m concerned and I’m so glad the Scout has mechanical Door handles.
It’s likely real. I’m headed to the Pittsburgh auto show this weekend so if I see it I’ll inquire on pricing, especially if it shows a pricing from 2024/25 like the one in Chicago did.
