Service Drives Sales!

  • 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.

Several friends/ Family (F/F) members are looking at EVs and EREVs for their next purchase.

I’ve shown them Rivians, Teslas and now Scouts.

their number one concern is a service center nearby (no matter how few or long wait times for appointments).

In the Greater Cleveland Area, I live 6 miles from Rivian Delivery and Service (not a show room because NADA and Ohio Legislature controlled by Republicans have blocked Rivian from test drives, or showrooms sales).

I live 14 miles from Tesla sales/service (Tesla has been here over ten years and can have test drives and a showroom/sales).

I worry that if Scout doesn’t have a local service center, my friends and Family (who love the EREV idea) won’t buy a Scout.

A few F/F have bought Tesla and one Rivian and they feel better having those service centers nearby.

thoughts?

Cheers

Why not consider legacy automakers? Plenty of dealerships. Ford, Chevy, Hyundai/Kia, etc.
 
They have considered and currently drive PHEV legacy but not satisfied with the dealership experience or lack of OTA, DTC sale, connectivity, customization and central compute offered by Rivian, Tesla and soon Scout.
