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.
You know when they open the SM innovation center they’re gonna need to have a gallery wall of all your renders. In fact that would be cool to have your renders and any of the misc sketches some of us have done and set up a gallery area. What do you think @Jamie@ScoutMotors ?
I think more than likely this concept would need structure connecting the pillars at the outer edge for roll over concerns and torsional rigidity. Also, may allow for better weight distribution of a roof rack system and allowing for a greater weight capacity.
It would also provide a higher quality seal to the door with the roof panels installed because you wouldn't have to segment the bulb seal.
May also allow for a door without a top frame, meaning it's less weight to remove, and if the window is lowered prior to removal, it will store more compactly.
I'll have to sketch out what I mean when I'm at my computer and not on my phone, but seriously cool!
