I know it’s unlikely to be a thing since GM primarily make the terrible decision to make the reverse lights part of the curtesy lamps. An elegant vehicle approach/departure light setup would be nice just don’t use the reverse lamps
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.
On the traveler, I’m curious if the rear swing gate can be removed and the spare tire be mounted in the cargo of the vehicle or in the frunk. The ability to open the gate inside a garage without opening the garage door OR just opening the gate hands free would be a great option. Thx.
Welcome to the community. Scout Motors (Jamie) posted a bit ago that you will be able to order the Traveler with or without the tire carrier.
As for where the spare tire will go if you don’t order the tire carrier SM hasn’t posted anything about that. Having seen the Traveler twice in person, the frunk is too small for a spare tire. I wouldn’t think it would be stored there. There also is a consensus on the forum that it will go underneath the vehicle like a 4Runner.
Welcome again and here’s the post from Jamie. He’s a great follow and one of the Scout Motors representatives around here.
Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of conversation on this but you’ll also find the search button icon is really helpful to find answers to questions you might have. I think this group has covered every topic possible along with some shiny objects moments so it is a great tool to narrow in on items and discussions that interest you. Same as @cyure ive seen them twice and maybe a donut spare would fit in frunk but nothing larger than that
According to a previous post by Jamie, the spare tire carrier will not be easily removable. What I mean is, it isn't designed to be as simple as "unlock and lift off". That's because of safety/weight concerns. As mentioned here and by another Scout Rep (I don't remember which one), the frunk is not large enough for a spare tire. Looking at the hinge for the spare tire carrier, I doubt it will have a hands free option; there is no place to put an actuator that wouldn't interfere with the rear tail gate.
Nothing is set in stone yet, but thought I could save you some search effort.

I don’t know if it has been shown, but I would love for scouts to have an external frunk access control.
My current car does not have a dedicated button to open the trunk at all, and it has to be manually lifted, and since the front will be used as a trunk of sorts to store groceries and such, it would be nice to have external access to open it, which not every EV offers when they have a frunk and to take it one step further something similar to Ford foot lift on some of their older SUVs would be nice too for when you have your hands full of something like water bottles

Welcome to the community. They showed a render during the reveal with a snow plow on the front.
Welcome and thanks for posting. Have a drink and stick around for a while
Anyone with knowledge of SW/HW engineering able to lend some insight into this thought.
We know the concepts have a Start/Stop button on the wheel.
Could Scout make it an option for those that want it? Either by making the button a configuration option, or add a digital “bypass” so you can just get in, press the break shift into gear and go

This is something I have been curious about on scouts and it is with the wireless phone chargers. Will there be ventilated? My Bolt has a wireless phone charger with a little ventilation set up, but it has two glaring flaws. The first is that it relies on the HVAC to be on in order to put any air onto the phone while it’s charging the second is it uses the HVAC to pump that air based on whatever your upper vents are pushing out so if you have it set to heat and your phone on charge, it will get hot.
Would like to see a cabana top on the Terra
A scout app for all car functions that could be used in place of a key fob
retractable tonneau cover

Nothing has been confirmed for cabana on terra but would be a great package
Well as the title of the thread says, what’s a feature you are hoping for that hasn’t been shown.
I would like to see a Central Tire Inflation System like they had on some Hummer models. It makes it easy to air down and then re-inflate. Also, a winch integrated into the high voltage system which could make it quite powerful and less worry about running down the low voltage battery.
