  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout 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 debate is welcomed and often produces 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.

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    I will say it would be amazing to see a stripped down, vinyl floor, Bluetooth only radio, manual seat, bare bones SM Scout for like $35K brand new... There'd be Bronco, Jeep, Ram, Chevy, Toyota fans all clamoring for one. They'd all say, "Too affordable not to. I go to dinner in the truck. I...

    Daily Driver Comforts

    I don't think it's as efficient or effective. And EVs are all about efficiency. On our 4xe the battery pack has it's own separate HVAC, to keep them at the optimal temperature, period. So in the winter it pumps in heat, in the summer it cools them off.

    New car - Lotti the Avant

    Howdy all. So some know my background, others may not. But every man I know has the dream vehicle. Or vehicles usually. For years mine was a '70 Challenger in Plum Purple. But for the last 7 or so, I've been obsessed with two: 2012 Audi A4 Avant Quattro 1976 IH Scout Traveler Well several...

    Not Scout Related - Who's excited for Starfield?!

    I am. I am one of those who've thanked the stars they bought a Series X for Hogwarts, as it's paying off greatly now. I got the premium upgrade from Gamestop for the patch, and am going straight from work tomorrow to pick up my receipt, then home to hit the stars. Am I the only one excited...
