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 too live in SC. I am a former Tesla owner. The first one I had was delivered. The second one I had to pick up in Savannah as Tesla deemed that I was close enough to go get it. I do think that Scout will be allowed to do direct sales and delivery. Surprisingly to me, the governor is all in on Scout and EV.
Car dealerships really should be on the out. The only thing that is needed at a dealer is service and repairs . Which theu make the most money on anyway. I think Purchasing should all be done online or direct ordered from manufacturer. Why do we have to go through a middle man that marks up just because . Then ends up with a lot full of vehicles that won't sell .
BMW lets you take delivery at their factory in SC, soooo…
I will NOT purchase a vehicle with a dealer markup, period! why I passed on my early Bronco, stupid dealer added 10K the day I came in to do the paperwork, told him to kick rocks. Bought my 21' Ranger cash with no add-on's, got a good price due to Ford employee pricing. Do I need a EV, or a Scout for that matter? no, but I want one and can pay anything within reason. Love the design and sales model, reserved the Harvester but may switch to the full BEV when more info and spec's are revealed. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
I’m curious, it seems like SC has pretty strong pro-dealer laws, how will scout get around that and be able to sell direct from the factory?
