Beyond Sound: Embracing "Sight & Emotion" in Design

  • 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.

Great "Sound & Emotion" video/article - how a vehicle feels, hums, and connects through its presence. But there is a missing perspective from the deaf and hard of hearing community who experience emotion differently. Imagine creating a "Sight & Emotion" approach - where designers temporarily block out sound so everyone can see the vehicle through a purely visual experience. Every contour, light, and motion tells its own story. By exploring how design speaks without sound opens a new challenging and creative dimension, making the Scout stand out even more. Afterall, the Silent Film era told stories that moved audiences before sound ever entered the frame. Maybe the next emotional connectiong is not just what we hear, but what we see and feel.

Welcome to the community! They definitely do need to do that and think they already have in a lot of ways with the physical buttons and knobs and everything not being in a touch screen.

Having seen them in person twice it’s definitely an experience. They definitely have a presence.

Welcome again!
