What Are You Driving Now?

  • 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.
The picture is not from my actual car because it takes two people to open the hood. BMW did not intend for anyone other than service to open it. But, there are two release cables on each side of the dash. Lord knows what all this stuff is…

Question as I haven't googled: Is this a ICE platform converted to EV?
 
I drive a 2018 Toyota Tacoma V6 6spd with the Off Road package. No modifications made. I chose this vehicle because of exceptional reliability, exceptional stock off road performance for outdoor activities, good on road driving characteristics, and the fun of driving a manual transmission. I’ve owned two Scout II’s prior and always appreciated these shared vehicle characteristics. To this day I still love the Scouts rugged design and spartan features. I do look forward to seeing your future concept designs and production.
 
Looks like Area 51? Or is it the heritage blue color?
Bet you are loving it. So glad they are finally hitting the streets.
Can you share interior pics too?
Called Azure Gray Metallic
