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.

Welcome to the SM forum. Lots to see and weeks worth of reading so enjoy and ask any questions as the majority of us are always willing to direct you to answers or suggest threads that you might be interested in. The search button is also great for finding topics you might be interested in
New to the forum, so apologies if the question has been asked. How quiet is the Traveler going to be inside while driving? What kind of noise does the Harvester option add? Also curious about the maintenance required.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Welcome to the community. First of all no apology necessary.
We haven’t heard what they will sound like yet. And I would imagine the roof option you choose would make a difference in the amount of noise in the cabin.
As for maintenance, nothing has been said officially. The only consensus seems to be that the Harvester will require more than the BEV.
Welcome again and Have fun poking around. There’s lots of info.
Oh and also if you do watch the Jay Lenos Garage episode with the Scout just know the engine noise is not what the real engine will sound like. My understanding is that engine is just something to move the concept around.
Alls great question that will be answered in due time.

Welcome aboard. Concur with the others. It was rumored at the reveal that they have recorded some of the sounds from one of the original Scouts. Don’t know what that means for us, if anything. As far as noise, it really comes down to whether you are a good singer and how loud you belt it out when doing the daily commute
. Enjoy the forum-lots of info here to absorb. And no apologies-we’ve been doing this thing for 2-1/2 years almost to the day so if it’s been asked, someone can answer. If it hasn’t been asked-we’ll all offer a lot of conjecture until @Jamie@ScoutMotors clarifies or posts a definitive answer. We are all just Sunday quarterbacking to kill time until we can cruise around in our new Scouts
Wait recorded original sounds. Is this perhaps an Ioniq 5N situation with multiple sounds where we can have our Scout sound like an old timey Scout! And I know some of you all out there don’t want any sound so I would assume you can turn it off like you can in other cars.Welcome aboard. Concur with the others.

I am all for sounds to play with and turn off when I’m done. Ha!
Like I said, it was a rumor and nothing was mentioned other than recording sounds so who knows. Would be cool to have a couple sounds if it’s an on/off type feature
It would be fun to have a lumpy idle sound. I would disable it at a stop light and pretend the engine stalled, then take off and scare whoever is with me.
I thought it wierd that Ford added slight, but noticable artificial engine sounds to my 2019 Ranger so that when I accelerated quickly it came over the sound system. Sounded neat, but....
A lot of new cars tie in the artificial sound to the speakers. Like you said-it’s a fun novelty. On a silent EV I kinda hope it’s quiet (used to want noise but more I read here I like the quiet). Just hope that low speed safety noise is tolerable
I may be mistaken, ut I thought user-customizable low speed sounds for an SUV were illegal.
Personally, I think the sound from the vehicles in the old Jetson's cartoon would be a hoot, but I'm sure I'd get sick of it after a while. (How many of us who are getting up there in years would instantly recognize it, or at least hear it and think "where have I heard that before?")

I genuinely hope there is a way to disable fake engine noises and pedestrian alert sounds.
I do not want to be rolling through the woods or desert and listening to that “an EV is coming” annoying white noise sound. I dislike it enough on city streets but not arguing with the safety factor.

You are correct. Low speed has to be consistent as a manufacturer from what I recall meaning ALL Scouts must sound the same at low speed. Any other customized sounds could be start up, dropping the pedal to the floor or the old…
