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 understand the blind spot concern, but that's really only a blind spot if you turn your head around to look (which most of us grew up doing, I get it). However technology these days offers solutions that can change the behavior of drivers. For example, blind spot monitoring is generally implemented with indicator lights on the mirrors accompanied by an audible warning when a vehicle is back there. Additionally, cameras are now enabling advanced blind spot monitoring where a video view shows up (somewhere, varies by brand) when you engage your turn signal. Those technologies are prevalent in 2023 vehicles, so given that the Scout will be an all-new electric vehicle, it seems to be a given that it will include advanced safety technology: sensors, cameras, and such. So while rear visibility is a design concern, it's one that can be alleviated by technology that enables what may have previously been seen as a relatively unsafe design.
Like this approach personally so we keep the Scout II rear window look.
Agree-100%. BMW has the Hoffmeister kink and Scout had the …….Scout kink? That sounds slightly inappropriate
