Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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.

Love seeing people push back at laws

When the government forces me to sacrifice my driving safety for the environment, we're going to have words. I spend a lot of money on the best handling tires available for a reason. The next thing they're going to go after is brake pads. Heaven forbid we have brakes that stop well and put off a lot of brake dust when you can still get mediocre braking performance with a low-dust pad compound.

I think Rivian did a good job with their launch editions. The package was a decent deal if you wanted most of the stuff offered in it, and it gave you the option to select the limited green color if you coughed up a little extra cash, otherwise, you just select your desired color.

The Limited Launch Green paint was made available to all R1 launch customers as part of the Launch Package at no additional charge in 2022.

Rivian really did provide very good value at launch.

They also wear faster. Because what they are doing is making you put the factory tires on your car, which are soft, and have low rolling resistance.

Rivian CEO admits company tore apart a very popular Chinese EV and shares what they learnt from looking inside

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe recently revealed what his company learned after they took a Chinese EV and tore it apart to get a look at it piece by piece

Seems our EVs aren't that far behind. We just don't have much vertical integration

This is what I've been saying all along. There's nothing magic here. If Ford could employ slaves and have no environmental controls they could build cheap EVs too.

If we let these things into our country it will be over. We will be the UK before you know it - with no ability to make any industrial product and have to ask China to sell us everything. They already own us through restrictions of rare earths, why not give them our automotive industry too? People are so stupid.....
