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.
Having seen frunk twice there is no way a full sized spare would fit. As for inside- I wouldn’t be surprised if an aftermarket option becomes available but up front I just don’t see SM offering it. Under is typical of most SUVs or the option of tire carrier for idiots like me that are fine with it being on the rear. It would take up a lot of space on the rear storage area
I feel like them giving us Molle panels, is them asking us to strap a Full size spare to it like the old Scouts.
I like that idea. Tough to get to but would look cool
I’ve seen people talking about paddle shifters for adjusting the regen, but after thousands of miles in my 22 BoltEUV I would prefer to set the regen strength on the screen or in a specific profile and have a paddle to increase strength while held, like in Chevrolets.
My Bolt has a single paddle on the upper back left of the wheel. All it does is max the regen strength, there is no regen settings in my car, just a button to turn one pedal on/off. I love one pedal driving and almost never use my break pedal, I mainly coat to lights or other stopped traffic and use the paddle to slow faster if I estimate my distance wrong. But if there’s Regen “strengths” that will be different to get used to with how I personally use my regen paddle currently

Good question. Guessing rear spare would be way less drag but compared to under vehicle I guess it would depend on how well it is fit under to reduce the drag below
After just yanking 8 mounted snow tires on 20's out of my basement to get swapped, I would not advise putting a HEAVY wheel and tire combo on any roof - esp one with a glass or cabana top!
Also, yes, range would be a problem and wind noise too...
No doubt but if someone was hell bent on not under and not a tire carrier it could be an option. Realistically you may rarely need to even get the tire off. I would never do it but there might be some who would. I too have experienced tires up from basement and it’s a PITA.
One thing to consider, putting a spare under is susceptible to wheel corrosion. The streets in my area aren't salted often, however, my full sized spare underneath my SUV collected enough to cause severe corrosion to the cast aluminum wheel (setting/sealing the spare tire). Even with regular cleaning, salt/water settling on the top of the rim can cause issues.
Oh I hadn’t even considered that. Another reason I want my spare in the tire carrier.
I used the regen paddles on my ELR all the time and loved it, hardly ever used the brakes in 132K miles (never needed pads)!
It had 36K miles when I bought it and I assume the previous owner did not change pads... I loved that car but started to have CEL issues almost monthly so traded it in on a Volvo S60 hybrid.
It would depend on how they implement it, but I don't think you will have to use the paddles regularly to adjust the regen.
In my HI5 (which has the dual paddles for adjustable regen) I played with it a bit when I got the car, but I finally settled on the regen level I liked and have not touched the paddles in months. It has everything from level-0 (no regen when you let off the accelerator) to I-pedal (aka one-pedal driving - max regen and full stop when you let off the accelerator) with multiple levels in between. The car remembers my preference as part of my driver profile. I think I saw that Scout plans to do the same thing in one of the YouTube interviews. They also mentioned driver profiles that would save settings like this.
If the Scouts don't have saved regen settings at release - I know what one of the first over-the-air updates is that I'll be requesting.
Personally, I wouldn't really want to adjust the regen.
For idea demonstration purposes, say the Road profile is selected with Regen at mid-strength. It's comfortable to drive, and you get used to how it works for judging when to let off the accelerator, but having a paddle that adds regen, either using pressure to slowly add regen, or just temporary max strength while held, is really nice when someone in front of you suddenly breaks harder than they should. but as soon as the paddle is released, the regen returns to your preferred strength.
I also use my paddle on highway exits with gentle accelerator application to increase regen without slowing too fast. Though I'm also very comfortable with no paddle, as I used to drive the Amazon Rivian vans, and they have no one pedal or regen options. (as in they are always in one pedal mode)

our S60 has no paddle so I select 1-pedal mode when I drive it, my wife, not so much, she'll do it when I remind her but other wise just puts it in 'D'...
