The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

  • 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.
We are exploring a number of cool paint colors and options, but I have not seen a "patina" option yet. I'll let our Color and Trim team know we have one request for it though. :D
I'd think if one wanted a patina option they could just get some graphics made, or perhaps an available graphics option (vinyl, etc). That is a bit of a pipe dream to request a pantina option paint wise on a new vehicle. lol
 
I was joking. But it is fun to see the look on our CFM team's faces when I say people are asking for it. :D
In which case – I was always intrigued by the various (obvious) wraps that Rivian used in their pre-production models which were basically colouring books. I believe Rivian actually allowed kids (and adults?) to colour on them at some demo events. It sure was a great way to hold the potential customers' attention. Run that one by the CFM team as well.

If "factory" wraps are considered, I'd like to see an option like that. (I'm also aware that many years ago the state DMV had the power to refuse registration to vehicles that were deemed distracting; I suppose my suggestion might run afoul of that. Yet there is plenty of evidence around that those rules may no longer exist.)

Like this idea. I've always thought once you have shown a vehicle, what's the point of camouflage. However there are time non-standard equipment, missing equipment and more are either tacked on or missing from the vehicle. Covering it in distracting camouflage makes all of it distracting. But I like the idea of creative camo and even teasing color variations as well on some parts.
