September 2025 Scout Motors Factory Update

  • 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.

Compared to past months, this looks very "enclosed".

Yay for roofs and walls, before the winter sets in fully. I'm sure everyone is happy about that :).

Yes there was a lot of discussion on the Extra Extra thread about this article. Jamie posted that essentially nothing is decided yet. So I’m just sticking with faith and patience.
I hope they ratio it so that there are some EVs in the mix. I plan to go solely EV and don't want to wait that much longer. Fingers crossed!

I agree. And selfishly-since most of the original members were looking for BEV before the surprise EREV announcement at the reveal I would feel better knowing they introduce it. I’m also convinced if BEVs come first some on the fence would take the leap to BEV and the BEV take rate would grow and those converting would offer positive experiences to encourage others on the fence

After people start taking delivery we need a subsection of the forum, an owners circle per se, where owners can post and the general forum can ask questions.

I hope they reconfigure the forum to have a pile of different forums related to use of the vehicles.

Something like:
  • General
  • Reservations, ordering, production, delivery
  • Builds and other Show & Tell
  • Trip Reports, Journals, Logs
  • Reviews (vehicles and aftermarket stuff)
  • Tech:
    • Issues, Repairs, Recalls, Warranty
    • Charging, Chargers, etc
    • Software updates
    • Accessories
    • Towing, Hauling
    • Maintenance, Service
    • Suspension
    • Wheels, tires, brakes
    • Harvester
    • Mods (Exterior, Interior, etc)
    • Off-Road tech
