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.
Isn't the visualizer coming out this year?
This is a general question. Not pushing for it to come out now! So no need to delay! @Jamie@ScoutMotors

I'm looking forward to a configurator, may change my mind back in favor of pre-ordering again.
A question on the EREV versions:
I keep hearing conflicting reports about what happens once the battery has been drained. If the battery is depleted but the gas tank is full, can the vehicle still be driven normally? Or driven, but with reduced performance? If the latter is the case, what sort of performance hits can we expect?

Generator will kick on befoe the battery is depleted completely.
But for more information about this @Jamie@ScoutMotors would be the guy to answer this better.
And if you drive to the end of the 500 mile range, both the tank and the battery will be empty (or nearly so). So if you fill up with gas at that point, you now have a full tank and an empty battery. What happens? Do you have to sit for a while and let the generator run to charge the battery at least partially, or can you just drive off, using what the generator puts out? If so, how is performance affected?
Basically, will the generator put out enough to drive the car with somewhat acceptable performance if the battery has been depleted.
Nobody knows exactly what happens. It’s like the December 31, 1999. What happens next is only a guess and Jamie really is the source but short of digging through the various threads and guessing everyone is just waiting as patiently as they can

My guess is they are still solving items. The Scout was two years in the making before the Harvester came around and my hunch is that happened shortly fore the reveal just over a year ago so I’m sure the concept is there but not all the final answers. And I’m sure they won’t be sharing the open items with us until everything is nailed down and accurate. There are minor items posted here that turn into weeks worth of speculation and I’m sure they don’t want that for a major component
I don’t know where you were, but I knew exactly what was going to happen on 31 Dec 2019.
It was New Year’s Eve, my wife and daughter were spending the day enjoying the SoCal sun, and that evening we drove to the bay to watch the fireworks as the clock hit midnight and the date changed from 2019 to 2020
Wasn’t terribly eventful, but it was memorable.
2019? or 1999, when the world thought it was the end of time because nobody thought the date could go up to 2000?
Anyone who really believed the world was ending because of a year change either never read any books on how our modern calendar was created or spent far too much time covering things with aluminum foil…
Yea, even they knew 2000 wasn’t a big deal and they just looked at stars…Remember the Mayan calendar ending in 2012?
And it didn’t end, it started over.
Extremely unlikely that it's binary.
Extremely likely range is infinite if you keep putting gas in.
Extremely likely they never get plugged in if they work that way.
Okay me and my questions. Let’s say you do that. You never plug in to charge the battery is your range now only 350? Basically how many miles the generator could charge the battery on a tank of gas?
