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’m not looking for a Tesla, but I wish more companies/dealers would do short term rentals. That’s how we test drove our current cat, renting one for a weekend. Much more useful than half an hour. @Jamie@ScoutMotors , I’d love to be able to rent a traveler for a few days to test it out.Tesla is fighting the EV sales slump with short-term rentals

That’s cool, I wonder if they are doing that to maybe lower the cost. Similar to how dealerships, give loaners out, and those loaners become certified pre-owned with a decent amount taken off, because they have 4,000-8,000 miles on them.Tesla is fighting the EV sales slump with short-term rentals

Yeah, I remember coming across him a few years ago. It seemed like he was always ranting about something. At least the video quality looks like it’s improved.
Constantly ranting. I think he was called out for it a few times, and now he’s dialed back

Make the engineers work! No handouts in the working world.
I scrolled down, saw that front grille, and literally said "Ew!" out loud
FWIW, the non "offroad" package one, actually looks a bit better IMO.I scrolled down, saw that front grille, and literally said "Ew!" out loud
That offroad one though looks... like the design got the idea of "more aggressive", but, somehow ran the wrong direction with it.
Its aggressively busy/akward. Sort of like... A transformer spider eye?
Not idea.
RPOs (rental purchase options) are very big in the equipment world. We do them all the time. We rent a machine to a customer and if they choose to buy it we apply a significant percentage of the rent toward the purchase. It also helps customers that need stronger down payments to be able to convert to finance.
