  • 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.

    Dealerships Are Dying

    Hi Matt. Generally speaking for EVs, the vehicle software is quite smart and it will not tell you there is more energy available than there really is. So if the battery stores less energy after 10 years, your "range" will show as lower. EVs typically are using a predefined calculation* of...

    Scout Design Team Feedback V1

    From what I have seen, the new Scout is looking to be a very genuine product for genuine people. That makes me think about longevity in an EV. Some things that come to mind: Enough CPU/GPU/RAM/Disc to handle software releases into the future The retirement of 3G for early Tesla adopters for...

    Some good news for those who worry about charging infrastructure

    Thanks for sharing this. Shell has made some interesting acquisitions in EUR as well and the others have made moves. Electrify America is starting to look quite strong as a network and I believe a lot will continue to be invested. There are also other approaches that could be cheaper and...
