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.

That's how I feel about self-appointed board monitors.
Curious if their advice is correct.

I agree with most of it.
I don’t think—from a technical point of view—that it matters whether you get a NACS or J1772 connector. You’re going to have to have adapters no matter what. Most high-quality adapters are rated for much higher amperage than they are likely to encounter in a home charging situation. Personally, if most of the charging is going to be at home, then get the plug that matches the vehicle’s plug. So on a Scout forum, the advice would be get a NACS plug charger unless you find a huge deal on a high quality J1772 charger.
The one issue I have is with their suggestion that you consider a load splitter. No.
If you *know* you’ll have more than one vehicle charging at home, look at some of the load sharing chargers and compare their cost with the cost of installing two separate chargers. Don’t go with a splitter.
First question to answer is if you actually need a level 2 charger installed. Depending on your mileage and the vehicles efficiency, you might be fine plugging into a 110V outlet. If you find you do need an installed charger, definitely look at the YouTube channel “state of charge”, he’s kinda the senior expert on these things and does very comprehensive reviews. He strongly recommends having a professional electrician with ev charger experience do the installation.Curious if their advice is correct.

Perfect example of why not to believe any car journalist.

Why Are So Many Automakers Using BMW Engines Under The Hood?
Toyota, Land Rover, Morgan, and Ineos all use BMW engines. Why do all these companies choose BMW?

Isn’t that basically a transliteration of Bayerische Motoren Werke? What gets me is they use mini and rolls as examples of using bmw engines neglecting to mention that they’re owned by bmw.Perfect example of why not to believe any car journalist.

Bayerische Motoren Werke, is the Company. Bavaria is the state of where Bayerische Motoren Werke HQ is based.
And yes i agree with Rolls and Mini statement. They messed up big time. And they also don't touch on how the smaller sales brands, like Mini, Rolls, Morgan, Ineos. On how expensive it is to develop an engine, and that they have to meet all these regulations and requirements. It easier at that point to outspend an existing engine.

Yea, but “Bayerische” is just German for “Bavarian”
Hey, we take the Giesel approach in our house hold. Bigger IS better!
I thought Ford did a great job with the final generation of the T-bird, echoing the past. This looks like a similar attempt but utterly not great.Dacora | The Future is in Motion

I smell Rolls Royce pooping them selves…
The design is more towards the gilded age. And 1930-40s. I think it’s a pretty cool looking car.
I appreciate it but I think it is for a limited palette/buyer and I’m assuming that’s the intent-like a cross between the 40’s as you note, a bit of modern Bugatti and a little aquatic Chris-craft thrown in for good measure. And wood hood cool in theory but will be a NIGHTMARE to maintain and avoid warranty claims.
