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 had similar thoughts.
But on the offroading practical front, without air suspension, you're going to limit the wheel travel quite a bit with large tires that fill the wheel wells.
Although air suspension cranked to high clearance mode also limits wheel travel, just in a different way.
You could have sliding lower air dams extend in front of the wheels and tires some. I swear I've seen something like that in some models now, as active aero is much more common than it was, as we're continuing to chase more efficiency. But not sure that would be cost effective.
I firmly believe this will be the case.
Here's what they look like on my Model X Plaid:
Another great thing about EVs is you can have very air-friendly covers and such underneath to minimize drag.
The Japanese companies just can’t seem to solidly their business was projections. Just like Honda missing opportunity to do an S2000 successor and making the prelude more in line with what it was originally. If you are going to g to market using iconic former models-you better do it right. SM has done it right. Honda is blowing it and the Toyota successors they keep talking about are too modern in my opinion and just won’t pull sales from the older generation that loved them. I loved the early 90’s MR2’s but the new images are so far away-IMO
