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.
They made a wagon (I think it was a sport model) so might as well make a truck too-it’s the next evolution
I heard that there will be a special edition of the truck for the storm chasers @cyure met…
They were in Illinois but now they’re somewhere else riding a storm out…
Probably Colorado…
So who gets charged with vehicular man slaughter? The Driver or the Tesla?Horrifying
Driver says Tesla was in autopilot mode when it plowed into Texas home, killing 76-year-old woman
A 76-year-old Texas woman was killed when a Tesla that reportedly was operating in automated driver-assistance mode crashed into her house.trib.al
I love REO - saw them four times in the late seventies and early eighties at the Toledo Speedway Jam…
And with Tesla’s deep pockets I see a lawsuit in their future over this.
Top one looks just like the early Scout post. Are we sure that isn’t the same damn photo?
Or is that the scout photo and you were showing a comparison
Comparison lolOr is that the scout photo and you were showing a comparison
Well glad I realized I was an idiot before somebody else pointed it out
Realistically, it’ll probably take some time to investigate, i.e. was it really FSD or the driver that was in control. Then if FSD was enabled there’s still a question as supposedly the driver is supposed to be in control even when FSD is being used. You can bet Tesla will do everything they can to avoid admitting responsibility. Sadly, it’s not the first time a Tesla is slammed into a building at high speed.

From the article:
…
“the driver overrode the system” isn’t an exoneration. It’s a description of the failure mode that Level 2 systems create. Both Autopilot and FSD (Supervised) require an attentive driver who can take over instantly — but they’re designed to do the driving, which conditions people to disengage exactly when the rare emergency takeover is hardest to execute.
This is the complacency problem we’ve written about candidly with FSD v14: the system is good enough to lull you and nowhere near good enough to trust. A driver who is mentally and physically “out of the loop” is slower and clumsier in the half-second when it matters most.

That silhouette is intriguing (very Scout like), I could see this pulling sales from Slate from those who want a low budget option that prefer ICE however may be too late if the reveal occurs in Q4.
New blog story. “The Sheriff”. I love it and I am so glad he watched over the Scout legacy so it could be reborn.
Thanks for sharing, I was hoping John would be featured at some point given his roots and continued connection with early Scouts.New blog story. “The Sheriff”. I love it and I am so glad he watched over the Scout legacy so it could be reborn.
Fantastic story and just a nice way to honor someone so critical in the whole history of Scout!
