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.

Following pending reimbursements, Richland County said no county taxpayer funds will have been utilized to pay the penalty.
Good News!

This Is Our First Real look At Scout's Rear-Mount Range-Extender Engine
Scout's back-of-the-bus engine choice looks even stranger in these images, but we clearly see its Volkswagen heritage in action.carbuzz.com
My brain jogged back to this. IF the Harvester engine is canted rearwards at a 50-degree angle, what happens to it when I'm off-road, climbing a 100% grade (45-degree angle)??? Whether it's running or not, it'll be past horizontal and all the oil will be draining through the engine down to the head...
Just a thought, and something I'm hoping they're taking into consideration since it can be a problem for ICE vehicles with vertical engines and their oil pickup-tube on the wrong side of the oil pan.
One way to solve this would be to take a page out of aerobatic airplane (inverted) engines and use a 3-way shuttle valve with pickup tubes pointing in all of the possible ways and to add a dry sump pump. One of the reasons the engine isn’t just coming from the factory today is because they need to engineer solutions to issues like this, the extra thermal considerations they’ll be facing, computer controls for RPM, and other issues.
Until SM releases specs… it’s just not Gospel.
These are more journalists just going for clicks, IMHO.
That puts your team ahead of a lot of other manufacturers (including Porsche) that fail to account for things like this, off-camber crawling, cornering G-forces, etc in their oil pickup systems.The team here is well aware of any potential use issues.

Y'all could release the BEV's, get units on the ground and let us start racking up the mileage.The team here is well aware of any potential use issues.
I hear you on this. I looked at the article though and I saw this bullet
And my first thought was this guy: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/business/ford-electric-vehicles-doug-field.html I don't know anything about him but given his employment history, his departure is likely good for Ford EVs.
Then I saw who is in charge now
Yeah, nevermind. I 100% agree with SpaceEVDriver.
