  • 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.

    Comment by 'TAStrock' in item '1972 Scout II - Starting Frame-Off Resto and EV Conversion!'

    Nice classic original. Before you strip it down to paint can I ask you a favor? Please look at the door jam passenger side near the strike and see if there’s any unique mark?

    Is EV demand really tanking?

    Thank you for adding your take on this. Never having an Ev or being around them wasn’t sure how long charges last and or how heating etc works with them. Does extreme cold make the batteries drain quicker as the old batteries used to do?

    Is EV demand really tanking?

    I understand that a lot of having the Ev revolves around the planning of where charging stations are in your travels as they are still being set up. The concerned of being stranded in an Ev as compared to an Ice is still that, a concern. If you run out of gas and are stranded or while stranded...

    Is EV demand really tanking?

    I’m not a fan of them but , not for the sake of progress though. Living in NE Indiana where we do get some snow I’d hate the thought of relying on the EV to keep you warm if stranded long. And to add to it hearing news related articles saying these companies are losing big profits from this is a...

    Ev or not to Ev

    Well you’re still bringing in this cordless drill thing which is still absurd. It’s nice to see advances in technology I’ll say that but until there is a more economical way to recharge the EV’s that’s also less of an environmental issue this can’t be it. As for opinions or answers on my...

    Ev or not to Ev

    It was asked as a concern since many have voiced that they don’t want them total EV. The govt part of the question is because of the push to go that direction and could be the deciding influence by way of regulations, taxation etc…. As for the comparison to “cordless drills” that is like the...

    Ev or not to Ev

    With the many comments in this Scout community about the disgust of the “New” product being totally electric and not being at the least a Hybrid … How much of the decision to go this direction was more or less forced on by the govt groups that are pushing the gas vehicles out currently?
