February 2025 Scout Production Center Construction Update

  • 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.

It is mind bending how large that complex is! It's as much a work of art as the new Scouts!
My father designed assembly plants for Ford Motor Company for 40 years. In the summers when we were out of school, we would accompany my father to whatever state was building the latest and greatest plant, the boys always got a tour. I was always impressed with not only the magnitude but the elegant detail that these structures were. It is very impressive. These days the plants are built in CAD, back then in Dearborn Michigan they had large dedicated rooms and the plants where laid out on large tables by men walking around on them in socks with their slide rules straight edges and pencils. They even had small scale vehicles and other notable items carved in wood placed on the prints. Looked a lot like some giants walking around a small city. These are still marvels to watch even today.

I’ve seen photos. That when architecture was great. Now it’s crank it in CAD and no artistry to it

Better hurry up and get some skin on that building so you can insulate. It'll start to turn into a really humid oven in about a month!
