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.
Thanks for the picture. The frunk looks very useful. Concerned with dust. I have 10 miles of gravel roads to travel when I leave home. The generator in the back underside is going to eat a lot of dust.
I have been keeping track of my local driving. Trying to see if I can make the BEV work.

There’s a thread where the people who have EVs post about their experiences and there’s a few guys on here who have purchased EVs for the first time they have threads about how it’s going.
Honestly I reserved the Harvester initially. I think it’s a great option for people who travel far frequently or go off the beaten path or don’t live in an area with lots of chargers. I’m in Illinois so that’s not an issue and with my driving pattern and learning what I have on this forum I recently switched my reservation to a BEV.
Here is one of the threads.
I live on a 2-mile gravel road and am off-highway (forest service roads) almost every other weekend. Dust happens. I don’t own a gassy vehicle anymore, but when we did, we had to replace the air filter more regularly than typical. You’ll still have to do that if you get the Harvester.
I’m certain Scout Motors engineers understand that such an item will need to be easily accessible. Where they’ll put it is a great question and one I haven’t pondered because I have no plans to own the Harvester.
Quick thoughts:
Mid-engine and rear-engine vehicles typically have one of two routes for clean air: from the front grille or from a rear grille with a positive pressure mechanism (fan). Given that we haven’t seen any kind of grilles in the rear of the Scouts, I would expect they will feed cold, clean air in from the front. It seems to me the air filter will be up front as well. The ducts will need to be resilient and well-sealed so no contaminants are introduced along that path. It will be interesting to see what their solution is.

Hey Everyone,
Good News/ Bad News
Good News, my wife and I will be at the show on Friday and will take as many pics as possible. Please note 600 pics is not an option.
If allowed, I will get shots of the under carriage, roof rack, interior from both the front and back seats. FYI, I will be more focused on the Traveller.
Bad news, dues to an ailment that she’s going through, Rhona will not be attending the show. She’s of a certain age and I don’t want to stress her.

Oh no! I hope Rhona gets better. How old is she? She’s so sweet.
Thanks in advance for all the pictures. You would be surprised how quick they add up once you start taking them.
Thanks. she is getting better. Surprisingly quick, I might add. But we don’t know what exactly is wrong. She’s 10 1/2 and that’s pretty old for an Irish Wolfhound.
I’m getting the camera set up today to insure as good a set of snappies as I can get.
That is old for a girl her size. Our lab made it to 15. I hope she feels better soon.
So what kind of camera are you taking? My husband is a camera guy so I have to ask.
I think anything like that is fancy these days. Everyone uses their phone.
I love on how they are keeping the pistol looking charger. It’s my favorite thing.
Thanks for the video…I watched the whole thing and now I feel like I need to go reserve another Scout.
You can never have too many!Thanks for the video…I watched the whole thing and now I feel like I need to go reserve another Scout.
Yeah-gotta say it has a modern old school feel. Almost like a gas pump nozzle
Oh I wish it looked like that all the time too!! If there was no PBY this color would be in the running for sure.
Well, I am sorry to disappoint. I went. To the Auto show with my camera and FORGOT THE BATTERY! So I ended up using my iPhone. I felt horrible.
Don’t feel bad. It happens.
How was it? Did you love it?
Let’s see the pictures you took.
I went yesterday to the LA Auto Show. I have to say, other than seeing the vehicles in person, I left a bit disappointed. I should have expected to be as everyone knows these are just concept cars. As I approached the display, I heard one of the representatives tell a patron that they could not sit in the vehicle. It was the one thing I wanted to do when we got there. Because they are not production trucks, not everything in it works or is safe to touch. The reps were very nice and candid about the Scout. Sadly nearly half of my questions were answered with its still TBD. Again, in hindsight I should have known that. It was just a bit depressing. I felt walking away that other than seeing the actual car, I’ve learned as much, if not more here on the forums. Jamie, if you’re reading this, you were missed yesterday. The booth was nice and well thought out. I just feel like maybe with all that’s up-in-the-air, The LA Auto Show might have been a bit premature.
The Tera & Traveller are beautiful! If nothing changes on the interior, they’ll be worth every nickel. I did hear that the Cabana top option is in question. I’m starting to ramble, so I’ll leave it at this. It’s great to see the actual vehicles, but there is so much left in question. Definitely go see them when they come to your town. But I’d moderate your bar of expectations.
Here are some pics. Not as many as I wanted, but I failed at bringing the battery for my camera (my apologies). . . .
