Key Fob question

  • 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 like a backup, that being said in 65,000 miles and over 3 years in my Tesla I've never had to use it but it's nice to have just in case something happens. I hope Scout have a similar card type access so it can just fit in my wallet like a credit card (or let you pick either card or key). I don't have to carry any actual keys on me now so I wouldn't want to have to start again with the Scout.
I still have a few keys so since I have them the fob doesn’t bother me and I’m rocking the scout orange leather key tab my daughter made me for Christmas so I think of her everytime I pull out my keys

I hope this is just a option that they'll make available and that they still provide actual fobs. I often go running on trails. I don't take my phone with me. I leave it in the car. Same for when I go hiking. I usually don't get cell service on the trails, anyway,. I'd rather not risk dropping or losing my phone when I'm out on the trails. I can easily stash the fob somewhere hidden on the outside of the vehicle, so I don't have to worry about losing the fob. Can't really stash a phone, nor would I want my phone to be out in the elements in the event it starts raining.

Yep.

Also, not everyone wants to leave bluetooth enabled on their phone all the time.

Fobs are simple. But credit card style access keys could be another good option.
