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.

J Alynn replied to the thread R2 Launch Watch.Have to agree. So you have 3 year res holders but a 6 month res takes priority because of a non brand lease ending. That seems wrong...

Now, to answer your first question. An EV is not as efficient in cold weather, that is true. But it isn't as bad as the detractors will...

I am going to answer your last question first - you don't need to worry about the 12V battery losing charge (in any weather conditions)...

Yes, you can "jump" the 12V in EVs. In the Tesla there are leads behind a panel in the front bumper to which you apply 12V and it...

Thanks @BeerParty, I meant to mention this as well and then got distracted. I usually don’t go below about 10-20% on a road trip. This...

Another point about charging: If you never charge to 100%, your battery management system WILL eventually get out of sync with reality...

That was another thing I learned from the community here. I never paid attention in the winter and I did this past winter. In my...

I will defer to a friend that lives in a cold climate. But, my experience is that the battery does not really lose much charge while...
