Mousehunter's latest activity

  • 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.

    Solved the red dash issue with my wife's Rubicon - just make sure you have a red body as well.

    Shacket - I am guessing the site had a typo that was noticed and quickly corrected - my bet it is called a Jacket now.

    Talk about a limited production run - it is already gone (or the spelling was corrected).

    My humble understanding is that batteries heat up as they discharge - and that heat has to be delt with. As such, I assume there is a...

    200 miles is a risky low range. I am sure your bean counters will look at the vehicles sold with this advertised range in the US. 300...

    While factory roof racks might be tempting - they are probably a manufacturer's nightmare. Put a load on your roof, and the vehicle...

    It is a tall order - depending on how you look at it. To sell to the masses, it will NEED to be a completely modern vehicle with most...

    At the end of the day, the simple fact (for better or worse) is that you are not totally independent of VW. You have access to their...

    In S. Texas, I am lucky. Tesla has put in a good supercharger network (thanks to Tesla and Austin). I have superchargers in all 4...

    I suspect that like most words, overlanding means different things to different people. I used to kayak a lot. Overlanding was not a...
