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.
Made a Thread on that! Super cool. Will be the first car in Europe to get it.
I had a feeling it was brought up, but i wasn’t able to find the thread lol.
Same. Back when I sold cars briefly in the early 2000s Kia was a low quality, cheap car that was kind of a joke.
Over the last 20 years, they have really made a serious effort to improve their quality and reliability. Now they are making some legit nice cars.
The EV9 is actually a really nice car for the money. It's still not cheap, but try to find another 3 row EV SUV and you're going to spend around $15k - $20k more.
I just made my last payment on my Tundra, and I'm trying to resist the urge to do a 2 year lease on an EV9 to get me through till my Scout rolls off the line. Kia is offering a $10k rebate on purchases and leases on the EV9 right now to make up for the fact that it doesn't qualify for the federal tax credit. I just called the local Kia dealer this morning and got numbers on a lease. Resist the urge. Resist the urge...
Not that easy to shut that down using the federal EPA, the EPA, from an emergency response standpoint, is not likely to entertain this as it's not a hazardous substance, oil, or pollutant. This is best handled through your municipality/burrow's building inspectors and your states environmental protection group. What you're dealing with is simple erosion and sediment control prevention or lack thereof, and it's best handled at the local level through notices of violations and fines, if repeat inspections show failure to mitigate runoff into the local creeks and estuaries.

It may just be me but I’m not really a fan of the styling on most of the ev trucks and suvs. I think scout has done the best with their designs

I think they was jumping on the unibody ev truck bandwagon. I’m kind of seeing some cyber truck mixed as well.

Unibody’s are becoming more popular since they are less material than a body on frame. Personally Scout doing body on frame is really smart for a bunch of reasons.
Can I be nosy and ask how much the lease is? I’m only 1-1/2 years in on my accord and paid it off “downsizing) from my Acura TLX type S (I really miss that car some days
) so no way I’m gonna lease anything or spend new money but if I had to buy or lease an EV SUV tomorrow I’d consider it.
Funny enough it says Unibody cost less but is more expensive when body repairs due to the fact that rust can spread faster. And Body on frame is more expensive but repairs is cheaper.
Yeah unibody is great for cheap low cost vehicle’s (even though none exist anymore). But you are right they rust fast in the event of an accident it can cost much more to repair. Body on frame is a great platform from a longevity and repairability standpoint.
Sure. The numbers he gave me are based on full MSRP of $66,485 for the Wind trim level which is the lowest priced AWD trim. I haven't even started negotiating the cap cost down from MSRP yet because like I said, I'm trying to resist the urge. He gave me numbers of $690-$702 for a monthly payment on a 24 month lease with just the first payment down assuming a money factor of 0.00085 (tier 1 credit).Can I be nosy and ask how much the lease is?

This reminds me of Nikola Motors. I’m guessing they will be out of business soon too? It’s the CEO of Lordstownmotors, which went bankrupt. He bought out the company and is starting all over again. I guess this is what happens When a CEO gets cocky with his/hers paycheck that the company can’t handle yet.

There is a you tube channel, driving 4 answers, that has a pretty good review of the Sytech Scotch Yoke engine and covers the engine balancing. According to the information on Sytech's site and also covered in the video, the engine is being designed specifically for use as a range extender. Their 4 cylinder engine design seems well suited for use in the Scout Harvester, given the compact size and projected power output. If they start production later this year, they will have 2 years of and real world performance to further refine their design prior to being used in the Harvester.
