  • 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.

many of these items, I could not find the answers online or by calling Scout Motors.. The person I talked to at Scout had no idea as to the answers to any of my questions.

- Although I’ve seen a number of answers as to the size of the batteries of the truck and SUV have been speculated in this form. None of them are with any authority. Please provide the size of the batteries in both truck and SUV vehicles and the size of the battery in the harvester extender truck and SUV vehicles.

-What is the battery size of the EV truck and EV SUV? What is the battery size and range in an extender truck and SUV? What is the distance that the extender will allow the truck and SUV travel?

-You released information about bi-directional charging? Does this mean that the vehicles will be able to charge a house through their charger and charge port? Will this require a “power share station”?

Will both truck and SUV vehicles have the 14-50 plug which can be used to charge an EV and most of the electrical needs of a home during a power outage. I suggest that BOTH vehicles have the 14-50 option.

-Will the extender models be able to charge the battery while the vehicle is charging a whole house. Such flexibility would be amazing. If the extender only allows charging while the vehicle is traveling then you have severely limited the flexibility and value of the harvester extender.

-Will the vehicles have the capabilities of most of the Tesla features, such as sentry mode and dash cam.

-Is the 350 miles of electric range realistic, or will we be subjected to Tesla and Rivian‘s unrealistic claims of range. Does the 350 miles range mean in real world 350 miles. Tesla’s claimed 340 mile and Rivian’s claimed 329 mile range which means approximately 255 miles real world range during real world testing is not acceptable.

I think these basic requests for information would be helpful now in making a decision as to what vehicle to reserve.

Thank you

The $100 reservation is to hold your spot. You can change you vehicle model at time of order so reserving now is not a lock in-just a $100 refundable deposit.
All of your questions have been asked prior and SM is not ready to release any of that info until much closer to the start of production. Jamie has stated as info is provided to his department from engineering and is blessed for public consumption it will be posted on the forum first and foremost.
Beyond this info you’ll need to settle in and wait patiently/nervously until news comes our way
