I just old school it. Hit the alarm button over and over and listen for the beeping.
What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

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.
That works too but I figured the Scouts are loud visually and this would be a subtle way to find it
You have to pay for the Fusion Drive upgrade to hover!
Smooth and comprehensive-functioning autonomous driving to the level of Mercedes, Cadillac and Tesla.
Is that what it is called in the user manual? If not, I think the manual needs an update!
A network of sensors built into the roof that can detect if something's been left sitting on top of the vehicle, coupled with a warning message or alarm, that goes off when the vehicle is shifted into drive or reverse, to inform the vehicle's occupants that you left something sitting on top of the truck. No more driving off with a coffee cup, water bottle, carryout bag, wallet, or whatever left sitting on the roof.
My wife did that with a yeti on her SUV that I drove off in. It stay for about 1/3 mile until I turned. Came back later that day and the Yeti was then a license plate because it was flattened
I was figuring out where to put this and this seems like as good a place as any. My daughter sent me a video on TikTok. Apparently you can set a shortcut automation in CarPlay so it plays what you choose when it connectors to your car. People posted videos starting their car and they chose the “welcome foolish mortals” from Haunted Mansion. Now I totally need to do that!
That made me think that when we start our Scouts there needs to be some sort of greeting either spoken or on the screen. Adventure awaits. You rock. Just something fun when we start our Scouts.

I recently saw an image of the Scout and it looked like a start up sequence. It was the thin light ring around the front “grill” and the scout script. Figured it is probably part of a starting sequence. The Broncos had a decent one with stones and boulders rolling and forming into a horse.
Brilliant. And the dog from Up! I liked the Hyundai Disney them. Tried to convince my wife to get one. Was unique and classy at the same time. She wasn’t ready to go full EV though.
I hope it has a "Kill Switch" to shut down all the extra tech and just enjoy the car. Scouts used to drive by sound - the motor told you what gear to be in, up or down. Electric cars are spooky quiet. Nothing changes. As a driver, I also like the feeling of being a land yacht captain. If you have too much driver assist you will not build real human drivers and this Scout experiment will end up in the pile of could-have-beens. Is there an International Harvester Edition planned that comes with a plow attachment? Think about it.
