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.

Construction has begun on what may be the first "true" V4 Supercharger site in Campbell, CA, featuring two 1.2 MW cabinets and 16 stalls with up to 500 kW each.

Hey I can drive to that one. Boring shopping center but given neighboring San Jose has the highest EV adoption rate in the country (40% of new cars registered last year were EV), plus just the high adoption rate around the Silicon Valley area, it makes sense. Cherry on top for Tesla is that ChargePoint is HQ'd in Campbell so they get some in-your-face points as well I guess.Report: First “True” V4 Supercharging Station Now Under Construction in California

I saw a Jeep Recon EV in the wild. It was an engineering sample lime green. It’s definitely not a Jeep. It gave off Cheap, Chinese knock off of a Jeep. It reminded me more of a fiat. Which isn't that what jeep has been since Stellantis took over? A Fiat with big wheels.
The designer who created the look should be fired. Somehow we managed to score a designing marvel who I call "The Benj". Who team designed the interior of the Recon. Which is probably why the steering wheel in the Recon is a octagon, similar to Scout Motors Octagon Steering wheel.
Side thought what is with the benj and octagons?

Chinese Company Asks the Question: What If Your EV Could Violently Eject Its Own Battery? — Road & Track
And yes, there's a video.
Thats definitely a china idea if you ask me. I think it would be better if we take somenotes from racing. And we puta fires suppression system in. That when the starts a fire the car shoot out fire suppression liquid. Potential saving the car, the human, and who ever is behind you. LolInteresting concept

Hidden in Plain Sight? BMW May Have Shown the Next i4 Sedan — Autoblog
BMW may have just given enthusiasts a subtle look at its next-generation EV sedan.
EV Competition is very exciting to see. Makes manufacturers better in the long run imo. Like how rivian software will also be used to improve Scout and Volkswagen. Overall helps the air quality as well, and I think instant torque will be great when mass adopted for semis so they don’t have to go 20 on hills on the highway and back up traffic for miles.

I searched, but didn’t see anyone mention this one.
That was a proper restomod. I like it. Looks Wayyyyyyyyy better than a Model 3.
Agreed. It’s pretty dang cool. I know there are millions that would label it absolute sacrilege though.
I’d love to go charge in that thing just to see the look on people’s faces when you go to plug it in.
Especially if it could play some bada$$ V8 sounds on the way to the charging station

Looks like sodium will also be needed for future EVs as well. I’m definitely no scientist and don’t know how this works. Just would be great if we can source all EV battery materials here in the US to provide American workers jobs and know it’s entirely sourced and made here.
