In-Person Looks?

  • 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.

I'm brand new to this. I saw a commercial on Saturday morning and had a reservation a couple hours later. From what I have been able to read, the Scouts won't be at VW dealerships. Do we think there'll be events or opportunities to see options in person before we spec them out online? First time I have reserved an unreleased vehicle, so trying to get an idea of what to expect.

Likely they will have hubs / popups in major metros ahead of actual ordering books opening.

With plans to start production sometime in 2027, I would expect some sort of tour with more production level models to happen at least 12 months prior to that.

But..only scout truly knows.

I'd guess they'll follow something similar to the Rivian model, where there will be pop-ups and a few fixed locations to see the vehicle. I
can save you some trouble though. Crawled around the vehicles at CES. Certainly seem as if they'll be awesome vehicles!

Now having said that, they were also prototypes. Would really be great to be able to drive one.
