Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

  • 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.

Can you motors stand behind there cars? If so I would like the company to offer a Very Long bumper to bumper extended Warranty. As good and long as Ford or better.

Can you guys pull that off? It would help a lot of customers feel better about buying a new Scout.

Ford offers a Bumper to Bumper 10 years / 175,000 Extended warty.

I hope Scout does the same or BETTER!

Been driving BEVs for 16 years now and have never bought an extended warranty. Tesla Roadster from 2010-2021 and 70k miles. Wife's first Model S, 2012-2018 and 60k miles. Wife's current model S, 2018-present and 95k miles. My Model X Plaid, 2022-present 77k miles.

My wife's car has been in a few times but due to trauma (hitting things like a box of crap on the highway, deer, and going off a curb and landing on the nose) so that doesn't count. It did just have its first failure, one of the door handles started malfunctioning. Her first gen model s had every door handle malfunction under warranty. Back then they used microswitches that got dirty and failed. The new ones all use hall effect sensors so have been much more reliable. The one that failed is the driver's door so the one that gets the most use. $774 for parts and labor.

@cyure you have the most special extended warranty ever and is definitely worth it. In my experience, regalar ones are not worth it.
We got lucky. They stopped selling it a few years after we bought the Jeep. They said I would eventually start getting letters from Stellantis with special offers to entice us to sell. I got the first one not too long ago. An extra $2500 off purchase to trade her in. They said the longer we have her the higher the monetary offer to trade her in will get.

My old boss had a life-time warranty on his mini-van. He hit a deer with it and took it around to insurance adjusters to get it repaired and REFUSED to have it get totaled! His plan was to keep it for life. I would do the same with that Jeep. Just don't hit a deer!

Would be a fun exercise.
