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.
Printed, please. It is annoying to be told to go download the manual for a thing as a PDF in lieu of a physical copy. Some people think it's helpful to have the manual built into their device, and I agree, but I still want a hard copy as a backup. Maybe I also want a PDF that I can read on my iPad so I can see it in the dark easily, but for a car, I'd want redundancies. Some of that is me speaking as a person who was paid for my InDesign expertise and hated seeing my favorite printers go out of business, some of that is because I actually prefer to have a physical book in my hand when I'm freaking out about problems. A tabbed and indexed book (perhaps even one that is wire-bound) that I can lay flat on my pull-out table would be lovely.
I don't mind PDF releases for things, however like you, I very much would appreciate a hard copy version available for purchase (even if I had to spend $50-60 for it). While I doubt that the electronic drivetrain components would be repairable by owners, this is an off-road designed car. Which means potentially going into areas where cell coverage isn't available to download PDFs.
