Long Way...

  • 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.

Or you could try pole to pole! If a Nissan Ariya can do it . . .

Or hold out for the zombie apocalypse in 15 months and prove it’s true survival modes in the wilderness.
Also-as they keep making Lost World movies you need to get a rigged up prototype in one of the next films like Mercede’s did in the first one and as they used Jeeps too. Just another great, memorable way to introduce the Scouts. I still remember the Mercedes and for awhile they had them on display at Universal CA which I got to see up close. Couldn’t afford one at the time but I drooled-A LOT!

We totally need Scouts to make appearances in movies. Okay any movies that have old Scouts in them? Anyone? This is our trivia for the day.

@Jamie@ScoutMotors any chance of getting a render file for use in architectural renders like sketch up? I’ll get our production guys to start dropping Scouts into our renders 😀. Like residential driveways, street intersections and neighborhood aerials. That would be cool
Wile that sounds like a really cool idea, boy could we have fun with that. I think there might be some licensing issues.

Man this has me feeling nostalgic. The Long Way Round is what inspired me to buy my first motorcycle in pursuit of adventure, and set me on the path to Overlanding with my family.

I didn’t realize there was more than one of these. I have started with The Long Way down then I’ll switch over to the Long Way Up. Thanks for the recommendation. I know this one I’m watching has nothing to do with anything electric, but it’s still fun.

I was hooked on the series well before they did Up. It's good fun.
 
If you haven't seen Long Way Up with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, it's a fun, 15,000 mile trip from the southern tip of South America (Ushuaia, Argentina) to Los Angeles, CA. It was filmed in 2019. They ride Harley Davidson Live Wire electric motorcycles (prototypes). In addition to the main vehicles being electric, two of their support vehicles are the very first Rivian R1Ts off the production line (a couple years before any other other Rivians rolled off the production line).

If you worry about what Scout will be able to do, watch this show and remember that it was filmed almost ten years before the Scouts will be out. A whole lot of experience is going to inform Scout Motors. I'm excited to see what Scout can do!

Just wanted to say thanks so much for the recommendation. I just finished watching Long Way Down. Loved it. Long Way Up next!
