One Giant Leap Into the World of EV Ownership

  • 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 love that color. And with no malice intended, if it didn’t say Chevy I’d buy one. Too many issues in my Chevy history so no chance but your EV strictly from a design point is probably right behind the Traveler and the Ioniq5

No malice taken! I grew up with numerous GM and Ford vehicles in the household, heck even a Saab (GM ownership years). They all had their quirks and issues at some point. We were an all Ford family until this Equinox.

In my opinion, currently the value or bang-for-your-buck is with the Chevy, The Hyundai and Kia twins are nice but they're missing something, they just feel cheaper. I can't pinpoint exactly what about the Hydundai/Kia's makes them feel cheap but it's a feeling I've gotten while test driving them. Amenity wise... There's no getting past the amount of tech and gadgets Hyundai/Kia can throw in a vehicle... They are really enticing. Ford really hasn't touched the mach-e and lightning since they hit the scene and now the lighting has been discontinued entirely...

A lot of new vehicles coming in the next two years and I'm looking forward to what's on the horizon. We have the around town car, now just need the road tripper/off-roader to replace my expedition.

Always loved the Saabs-more the non-GM ones but I hear you. That said I’d love the color of your Equinox or similar on the Traveler. This was my closest effort a while ago
