  • 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.
Well, people love paying four bucks a gallon for gas that much.
A friend of mine asked me to drive them to the airport this week and said if I did, I could use their car for doing my rounds afterwards since it’s cheaper to drive my car to the airport, but I guess they forgot the gas prices because they were surprised when I told them how much it would cost in gas to do my rounds that I do in an electric.

Yeah, it’s icky. I don’t fill my (hybrid) car up much and I don’t drive a lot, so it’s not hurting me as much as a person with an involuntary daily commute, but woof. It’s painful when this happens.

I have a Costco membership and tend to go there when I need a fillup (and danishes, and four pounds of steak, a bag of Korean fried chicken, a gross of shit tickets and yes pun certainly intended, etc) because it’s usually the best deal, but blegh.

I pay for a Walmart plus subscription and I give the gas codes out to friends and family when they need them and right now they’ve been very useful. I don’t care much for gas stations to begin with. They’re often disgusting so when we need gas, we either go to Walmart and get the $.10 off or we go to Sam’s Club because the Walmart subscription works there as well generally around here, those are the best places to get it though thankfully I don’t have to get gas and doing what I do with the miles I drive every day I’m saving almost $400 a month if not more in gas costs
