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.
I find HUDs distracting. Just because your eyes are forward doesn't mean you're focused or paying attention to the world ahead of you. And that something is always flickering and changing in them encourages you check them out repeatedly for no reason.
That said, I haven't tried out Mercedes augmented reality HUD/Nav where they display the nav arrows onto the actual roads. It seems like that'd be great for navigating around new places.
What also would be great is a nav system that notes what you're doing so it can anticipate what you're about to do, like a real copilot would. For example, if you're slowing down to take a turn, but instead of the correct street it looks like your setting up to turn off too soon, it might interject "not this one, but the next", just like a real person might.

As someone who does that, that would be amazing. Whenever I have my maps going and telling me directions I always think about that episode of the Office where Michael follows the directions and drives into the lake.
Type? Way too much work. Just say it. Or better yet, it should just know. And if it guesses wrong and takes you somewhere you didn’t want to go, it’s an adventure!
When I saw “LEO” all I could think was that your dad somehow managed to launch the car into Low Earth Orbit
Well, he did want to end up in space after his time here ended…
