  • 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.

    Wow! That's super cool. I hope it's something that I can see in large scale use in my lifetime.

    New article on EV and hybrid trends

    New article on the trend down of luxury EV and the trend up of affordable hybrids. Nice read! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/car-companies-are-going-back-to-the-drawing-board-with-their-ev-plans/ar-BB1hNlpy?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=be7b9de4dacc452b8ba04238bf79b218&ei=17

    Not sure about the all electric I prefer gasoline

    Sure. 100 year old tech is tried and true. The first Ford model T was blasted since the good old horse was more reliable and cheaper. Tech caught up and things changed. Engines, parts, GAS got better and cheaper. This is no different. It takes money to create change and science to usher it in...

    Rivian R2

    Looks pretty legit. For sure competition as is any 2026 SUV EV. As these brands steal and copy each other we'll certainly see some exciting proto-types and market EV's.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Pretty cool article. Efficient platforms that will be used across the brand and beyond. Big, long haul batteries. All things that will help reliability and efficiency and hopefully continue helping the market drive down costs within innovation, saving us money in the long run.

    What Are You Driving Now?

    2015 VW Passat TDI. 66k miles. Stock. Definitely looking forward to getting one of the first scouts. I don’t know if I’ll ever get rid of my diesel though.

    Ideas for the scout pickup

    Battery swapping stations like Jiffylube are definitely going to be a thing.

    2015 VW Passat TDI with Fender audio. Love it. Love the diesel engine. I plan to drive it until the Scout is ready and even then I won't sell it. Lol
