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…
Launch into the same Low orbit in a Scout so he race the Tesla Roadster with the dummy in it.
We would love to see a solid panoramic glass roof option on the Traveler (like on the Terra) instead of a soft retractable sun roof. We are also dog people and would love to see a "dog mode" on the environmental controls (we live in steamy Virginia). One more idea is optional third-row seats that fold flat for cargo space. Finally, as a 5' tall woman, I'd love to see thought put into seat/pedal/other adjustments for smaller drivers. This is actually a massive potential market.

A pet mode has been shown in the software demonstrations. Glass roof will be optional, but not electrochromic. No 3rd row.
Welcome. Watch the videos on YouTube from CES. It gives a demo of dog mode. I’m terrible at posting links. Someone want to help me out here and post a link to the CES video that had the dog mode demo?
Welcome to the forum! Fixed pano available in both vehicles-likely an add option but it will be offered
SM has implied third row will be next model they offer after first two
If they use the search button on forum and search CES they will likely find a couple links that people have posted
If i was Scout IT i would remove the search feature and use that required CPU and RAM for higher quality picture uploading lol. Since now absolutely no one uses it. Lol.
I use it. I even occasionally direct people to older posts to answer a question.
Current members use it to guide new members who don’t know or choose not to use it but we will all try to work together to make the education of Scout available to all members
May have been mentioned, cup holders to acutally hold tumblers without having to purchase seperate aftermarket options.
