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 was asking what your thoughts on the topic are. I was truly curious. Thats ok I found them
"I have to disagree on the start/stop/on/off button, I want to tell the vehicle when to turn on and off, not the vehicle telling me. There always end up being exceptions. I’ve heard numerous examples where people have to bend over backwards to get the car to do what they want, because the designer didn’t think about their case, eg ac and lights automatically turn off when driver exits, even if there are other people in the car. End up having to learn magic hacks like “press brake pedal 3 times before exiting vehicle”. Just give me button and I’ll decide for myself thank-you-very-much."
Ha! Old story but too funny.

I'm glad we're still talking about this. I am starting to search for a car for my son and recently test drove an Equinox EV. GM has gotten rid of the start/stop button (BMW has also removed it starting this year) but there is an always-visible button on the left side of the touchscreen to turn the vehicle off. I think this solves the problem without having a dedicated button on the steering wheel.
This area also has quick-access buttons for one pedal driving and headlights (you may be able to add other things there - I know you can add things to the top bar of the screen too). The Equinox also has a regen paddle and while I will never use it in my Scout (I will set OPD to max and never change it), it didn't offend me.
I can report that OPD in the Equinox works perfectly. Even the FWD model had strong regen all the way to a stop and will then engage the friction brakes to hold. They also had a good mix of physical buttons and touchscreen. I think Scout's buttons/UI are nicer but it's a much more expensive vehicle than the Equinox.
Not sure everyone can open but what a way to schmooze the NC government before announcing the SM headquarters in Charlotte. Pretty cool

Makes me think when you do factory delivery they should shuttle you around property in an old Scout first (for those who never had one) and also (to remind those of us who did-how much better the new Scouts will be). Would be a great part of the overall experience.Not sure everyone can open but what a way to schmooze the NC government before announcing the SM headquarters in Charlotte. Pretty cool

I find utter joy in reading this wind bag’s rants in his ridiculous site. The one comment after summed it up best-exec’s want a better place to live and educate their kids. This guy sure does love to hate on Scout, VW and McMasters-laugh every time one of his articles post.

This would be awesome, if I was of retirement age, that would be an ideal job!
Great news for the environment.

A pretty interesting attempt at beating the EV Cannonball Run record. Almost all Cannonball Run records of all types are done in heavily modified vehicles. The EV record is with an unmodified EV.
This team took two batteries from crash-tested Rivians, hacked them to fit into the bed of a Rivian R1T, designed hacked-together charging, communications, and cooling systems, and attempted to run the Cannonball Run with a >600 mile range R1T. Unfortunately they were stymied by various issues, mostly to do with the weather and lack of information about the auxiliary battery pack.

R2 be looking like a Volvo! With those panels and the charge port opened.
Super cool. They need to establish a legit EV version too
