Have this on my Tesla and love it. Just as you said, creates a dark hole.
What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

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.
Hope to be able to have my phone be the key, with Auto Unlock and Lock. I love this about my car today, and have been keyless for years. Hate the thought of going back to a fob.
Other great features: 360 View for parking, video for blind spots, matrix headlights, and hud display.

With all the new electronic key fobs, as a surfer, I can't take that into the water. I'd love t see a safe and secure way to unlock/enter the vehicle without it. Maybe iwatch, electronick wrist band, etc.
Welcome to the community! That’s been a frequent request on the forum.
I second this & the rest of features he mentioned. It's why I love my tesla so much
I've suggested a shielded box on the outside of the vehicle. Like an old hide a key, but lockable somehow (code wheel, finger print, etc).
I used to leave my keys in the trailer hitch of my Grand Cherokee, but I figured out by accident one day that the vehicle would sense the keys and unlock the doors when you pulled a door handle the same way it would if the keys were in my pocket. Now I have to leave them on the beach.
Side note, brought my new board home yesterday. Spring can't get here soon enough.

A heads up display that does the usual speed and read signs but also can show heat or IR signatures for off roading at night
A stoplight countdown - some Audis/bmws have this and emergency vehicle approaching alerts because new cars are so quiet now.
4 runner style rear window that goes down and removable/fold flat rear window/wall on the truck for more storage
True Fold flat seats none of this annoying tumble
Pet mode that connects to phone so you can see temp and video/ alerts when battery is low or temp is rising
Tons of interior storage with a locking safe
Control all features using app aka windows up/down, start stop, temp control, heated and Cooled seats <— not ventilated (my GX sucks for this) but actually cooled seats, even decide on which song for it to start playing when you open the door and get in
“Speed limit cruise control”- sets and auto adjusts with changes (have the ability to bump it up to +5 mph after accepting a warning or whatever) also school zone control aka it’s hard to stay 15/20 mph
Follow me mode… if you follow a scout or another brand car (with the scout app downloaded to their phone) it will show you turn by turn directions and a live gps of the car you are following and the one who is doing the following (that works on CarPlay)
Also a find my friends mode (invite and warning notifications for people being found)
CarPlay that shows what’s playing on Sirius/xm/radio and the ability to change it using CarPlay
Starlink fully integrated and ability to be a off grid wifi hub
Matrix/projection headlights that can be used as a camp tv projector (that can run off Starlink) with exterior speakers for rocking out the campsite

Sentry mode inside and out with live view app/ ability to call 911 when there is a break in and send gps automatically also two way speaking (like a ring doorbell)
Hospital full self driving (I know full isn’t the best yet but the ability to get to a hospital would be prime/save on ambulance and emergency situations only) it will drive to the nearest ER or meet an ambulance with hazards on/active 911 call: example I break a leg mountain biking/ have a heart attack and hop in the car/call 911 and it starts driving
Solar panels on roof/hood or as a truck bed cover option
Reverse charging aka be able to power campsite with auto cut off when it realizes you are low to get to the closest charging point or gas station via Starlink/gps

drive over charger for home? Basically a giant qi charger for home so you don’t have to plug in. You just park and it starts to charge

Welcome to the community! Wow you have thought about this. That’s great! Theres a few things on your list that we know already.
The rear window like a 4Runner has been requested many times by many but due to the shape of the back tailgate and the fact that’s it’s split its not possible apparently. Sadly no roll down back window in the Traveler. The Terra will have a big roll down back window, but I think you were referring to the Traveler.
There is a pet mode. The CES videos demonstrated it, but that’s a great idea to have it show in an app on your phone.
Having seen them in person I feel there’s tons of storage, especially with the addition of the frunk.
They have stated that the cruise control is going to be level II+.
They have shown integrated satellite built into the roof rack. We weren’t sure what happens if you don’t option the roof rack or which satellite service it will be, but it’s been stated there will be the option for one.
They have shown a render with a built in winch and bull bar on the front. It’s a green one and if you search that you should be able to find the pictures.
Thanks for putting so much thought and time into your first post. That was a lot of work. Welcome again!
Welcome to the forum. I see some of your comments were responded too. If you use the search and type solar you’ll find many discussions in place on solar opportunities and some lack of opportunities based on size and needs. Same with key style entry-LOTS of discussions on that topic as well
