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.

Are they using a Lead Acid Battery? Or is it a lithium battery. Im more of a lithium battery fan, I use them in all my cars, they work great no matter what the weather is.
Cant really tell for sure, but considering its such a cheap car they most likely use lead acid.
Lithium batteries are pretty nice, and save a lot of weight. I did have a day this past winter where the one in my Norden 901 just wouldnt start it. It was hooked up to a LIPO trickle charger all winter but temps were below freezing and it seemed not to like that. I had to leave the lights turned on for about 60 seconds before it cranked.
I guess the ones in your cars have a lot of cold cranking amps and dont care about the cold weather.
Well its makes sense that would happen look at what state its from Ohio. Sorry Ohio people.
Buy Ionic Lithium Car Battery | 12V, Heated, 1400 CA
Upgrade to our Ionic 12V Lithium Car Battery for reliable cranking power, Bluetooth monitoring & a built-in heater. 5 year limited warranty & free shipping.

They have a built in heater to warm the cells. Similar to preconditioning.
You live in a toxic waste dump. I'm surprised you haven't changed the name of your state to Superfund. You are slightly redeemed by having Taylor ham.
Much of Ohio is flat, but the southeastern area is part of the Appalachian Plateau. Very hilly and great driving roads. Car and Driver has used the Hocking Hills area for many comparison tests. There's nothing wrong with our topography.
Can confirm. We lived in Lowelville OH when I was a little guy and there were a lot of hills dwon there.
I thought this was an interesting article about the Slates. Still don't want one, but it was neat to hear more about how they planned it out.

I have no idea what to call this setup.
Its like an IRS/Solid axle hybrid. The rear diff uses CV shafts like most independent rear suspension setups, but has a solid axle tube running to both rear hubs.
I dont what to think about that pseudo rear axle.
Yeah.

One a separate note, missed seeing this had already been posted; apologies for that. Odd that my forum search on the link didn't find a match.
