We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

  • 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.
Spent the weekend in Tucson charging on an L1 charger. I used the Lightning to run a couple of errands while there, but most of the weekend was spent hanging out with friends at a rental house. Got recharged to 100% yesterday afternoon.

Drove home today. Google said the 17 was closed for construction at one point, so I took the back way home. I prefer the back way, so didn't need much convincing. I stopped in Payson for a restroom and nap break. Didn't need to charge, but plugged in anyway since I was there. Took a 15 minute nap, woke up to about 35% more charge than I needed to get home, but whatever.

Total distance back home was 280 miles at 2.2 miles/kWh. Despite the lower speed on the state highway vs the interstate, we also climbed about a mile in elevation.

Overall, I made at least one unnecessary fast charging stop for a 553 mile round trip. I could have skipped the stop on the way down but the L1 charge would likely not have put the truck all the way up to 100%, so I may have needed the stop in Payson. Or I could have skipped the charge in Payson. But I needed the shut-eye anyway.

Round trip efficiency was 2.4 miles/kWh, not counting the low speed errands in town over the weekend.
I like these real world driving logs. Thanks.
