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.
Exactly. Even the headlight components fit out like a rounded rectangular bezel like the old scouts. It’s the little details that just work cohesively in the big picture
I’m not wondering so much as patiently waiting.
There is actually a big difference between the two. Look at the space below the center screen. The Scout has obvious physical controls (dials, buttons, and switches).
You good? Or just a massive Debby Downer?
If you don’t like that Scout is 2 years out, then find another car to buy. Scout doesn’t need to tell us every lick of information, until they’re ready. That the glorious thing about being a private company, and not being publicly traded not having quarterly meetings out for the public. Is they don’t need to tell the public anything until they’re ready are ready.
na, just wondering what they have under the hood...you ok????...p.s. I have my 78 scout to keep me busy
The Kia has the same drivetrain as the new Hyundai Palisade. And yes, it is located under the hood, because it is front engined.
A 287 Horsepower NA 3.5L V6, or a the 329Horsepower hybrid system with a 2.5L Turbo Inline 4, 2 electric motors and a ~.8kwh battery.
That said, the beltline/hood height is higher than is necessary for the vehicle, and the engine is set down from where the hood opens by more than is normal. But nothing else is under there (no frunk, as its not an EV).
Yeah actually i am. Im just wondering about you after seeing a few comments you also have made on other threads thats all. And that you made the comment of “I Know we have a frunk….for now…” that seems like your annoyed about having a frunk.

Good point. Scouts just feels right because at reveal they showed original Scouts and then the new to show how they took the linear theme and certain elements and carried them across 40 years. These other vehicles don’t have that vehicle history/connection so I think that is why it seems better and original to the others that seem like copycat efforts
Scout Motors outlines phased hiring plan, partnerships with Midlands Tech and ReadySC
Scout Motors representatives told Fairfield County Council they are ramping a large manufacturing project that will create thousands of jobs over time, beginning this year with technical hires and training classes in partnership with ReadySC and Midlands Technical College. Council members sought...

This is what we like to see, people getting trained already. Almost exactly when Scott said they would begin training from the Holiday Special. Which I hope we are getting again this year. @Jamie@ScoutMotors
You are Mr. doom and gloom. Your passive-aggressive frunk comment is obvious. You constantly complain in your posts, often about things that can't be changed. I'm glad someone finally called you out.
This topic comes up frequently, however I have to speak out on it from time to time just to get it off my chest. I wrote my state representative again last night and will continue to voice my opinion of DTC sales in SC until my new Scout is in my garage. Unfortunately, in South Carolina, citizens do not have the power to initiate a referendum or ballot measure for a vote on state law. It is one of 24 states that does not have the citizen initiative or popular referendum process. If a referendum could make it to our ballots, I am quite certain our franchise laws would get changed. As it stands, only our legislators can initiate statewide referendums. The following article is well written and helpful in building a case for DTC in any states with similar franchise laws. Please keep putting pressure on our lawmakers.

I don't know if it is possible, but if non-SC citizens can express their desire to pick up their Scout in SC and tour the area it may help our state leaders to hear from the outside. If you can 't write directly to our lawmakers, maybe through other channels like state tourism...

If there is someone knowledgeable on state law, maybe petitioning our state leaders to get this on our ballot and let the people speak. A petition from Scout Motors or other auto manufacturer will not get the same results as a citizen led petition.
I to take a random window shopping online of Rivian New and Used vehicles. but it's mainly every few months, ever since the EV Tax Credit dropped, it seems Rivian's prices have dropped, from the last time I was on it. Seems to be a bit more reasonable of pricing, considering its more of a luxury Off-Roader Ish vehicle. The market is finally leveling out it seems.
OK boys, or girls don't get you panties in a bunch, deal with it!!!...called me out, wow them fighting words where I'm from,ez tough guy..
That is a great article, thanks for sharing it. I’m unclear though if the ban is for SC residents only, or includes those of us out of state who will come to pick their Scout.
My understanding is only SC residents. My understanding is there’s ways around it for SC residents.
EV sales

EV sales *still* have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Media is lying to you.
After two years of headlines begging for failure, EV sales keep defying false media narratives that they are dropping, and continue to rise.
