Scout Concepts To Be On Display at Outside Festival May 31- June 1, 2025 in Denver, Colorado

[J Alynn]

It’s a reel. I barely found it. I’m not on Instagram much. Anybody know if you can post an Instagram reel on here?

Screen captured what they had, not much

Just searched and saw the FB reel! I'm heading to Denver in about 2 hours. I'll post more too

Post how it compares in person because those of us at the reveal feel the images on line just don’t do it justice and it’s so much more striking in person

Yay! Can’t wait to see pictures!!

And from what I understand both are much larger that people think.

I’m so glad I’m going to Ohio to see them. I can’t wait!

Definitely but they are on 35’s and we were told lifted a bit but guessing maybe 2”-3” ? We were told 35’s will fit without a lift and possibly 37’s but I think the lift just makes it look better and feels more rugged/off-roady

I hope this is true.

I remember hearing about an additional offload package that just got announced but for some reason might only be offered on the Traveler as it stands now. The Terra is missing love

I can’t imagine the Terra won’t get an off road package. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before we see that one with different options.

Oh good. I want 35s with no lift so that’s good to know. I don’t like seeing a lot of space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel well.

There’s another Reel on Instagram. I grabbed a screen shot. They are so pretty!!.

I can’t thank Jamie enough for letting me in, yapping his ear off for half an hour, and stealing him for the interior pictures. Awesome display, and great chat. Looking forward to the coming years of development!

So glad you had the experience. So if willing-please share experience of in person vs photos. What stood out to you personally

 

[J Alynn]

Interesting item from your pics above. Looks like three different seat options which is new to me unless someone has experienced this on their current vehicle. Looks like a heated seat, cooled seat and then a vented/moving air option. Curious if that will be run in conjunction with heat cool or a stand alone option to just move air through the seat perfs?

On another note-spill the tea! . Spied this from your pics -like where’s Waldo but so much cooler

Sorry for the delay! I just got home, and it's a heck of a hike for me to get into Downtown Proper from where I live.

There's a ton. From my (Technically-oriented engineer but not an automotive engineer eye), the prototypes look solid. Like, surprisingly good, even for a "Please Give Us Money" prototype. There's some "fake" controls here and there, but a lot of engineering prototypes will expose bare metal or wiring or any number of "crimes" as soon as you open the wrong door, or look at a panel from the wrong angle. I spent most of my time looking at the Traveler (which I have pre-ordered), and they were opening/closing doors, taking candid photos (seriously, thanks again Jamie!), and just generally showing it off without a worry of "Well we can't look at this because it'll show a bad panel!"

Now that it's been at a few events, they are babying it (very gentle with doors, not letting the public get in and out all day so as to not wear the seats out, etc), but "from a distance" of a few feet away, it does look like a solid vehicle and I love some of the little touches. Things like the Center Console having a huge lower area, lots of leg room and room for things to slide under seats, et cetera. There's tons of cargo room in both, and lots of tie-down points all over the Traveler Interior (something my "SUVs" in the Toyota family are severely lacking, and I hope makes it to production).

That said, of course, I expect some of the things I love not to make production -- I pointed out that I love this little under-seat gap (pictured, Circled in Red) that allows you to reach in and under the seat from the open Driver's/Passenger's door is awesome to me, both from an "I dropped something down here" perspective and from a perspective of "Seeing the displays of added things that live under seats" (like Ham Radio heads, or Charge Controllers, or Car Stereo Amplifiers). But given the prototype is missing things like seat motors and rails, that gap might not make it to production.

Oh by the way, that green arrow? That's a pull-out work table for setting something like a laptop on. That's brilliant, and is another one of those features that I could see myself or a significant other using all the time. I'm terrible at names and I've forgotten his name, but one of the lead interior designers was there and showing off that table, and I think it's a brilliant little touch that I really, really hope makes it to production.

Basically, I understand we're two years out (ish) from release, and lots of little things like seat gaps, upholstery design, outlet locations, switch and accessory points, etc, are all subject to change, but In-Person impressions? It's super impressive, and the interior design team IMO should be proud of what they've put together so far. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, because it's an EV (or EREV) that isn't trying to be a sit-in-Computer. It's functional, it's well put together, and it looks like it's meant to get out and go places.

If I'm reading the icons and remembering the conversation I was eavesdropping on right, currently the dials are temperature selection, and the switches are (in order, left to right):

• Driver Area Vent Mode (e.g. Upper Vents, Floor Vents, or Split)
• Driver Heated Seat Level
• Driver Ventilated Seat Level
• Front Defog
• Rear Defog
• Fan speed (the big center switch)
• Recirculation
• Air Conditioning
• Passenger Ventilated Seat Level
• Passenger Heated Seat Level
• Passenger Area Vent Mode

Honestly, I've got no notes there. Those are all the hard button controls I want for climate, and the radio controls on the wheel are where I'd want the Entertainment Center controls anyways as a driver.

I promised not to spill too many beans or hold him to anything, but the Scouts might look a little different soon (After Ohio, Before LA-ish)...

I had a very similar experience, talked to Jaime and others for over an hour. My focus was on the Terra, as that is where my reservation is with. I'm post my thoughts (from a maritime and structural engineer's perspective) and pictures later.

Thanks for sharing. If the look different is new paint colors he mentioned that at some point the other week. One of the commercial clips shows the dash tray pulled out with a lap top. This was suggested early on by a member-may have been @Harris005 but not sure. Great for construction for project managers working in the field or a spouse doing work while away for a few days.
Regarding the lower seat ring as you called it-that is such a great design element and I also hope it stays.
That said-wondering if you now feel like those of us who saw it at reveal-as cool as it looks in video/photo form it’s even better in person with it’s imposing stance
