Thanks for the post. Just realizing that there is this event next to the plant at Blythewood. I was planning to see the concepts downtown Columbia on Sunday, but this looks to be much better.

I should probably post on the extra, extra too. Was hoping somebody benefitted from it

Just to be clear, the showing on Sunday is in Irmo, not downtown Columbia (Saturday only). @Jamie@ScoutMotors posted additional info for Sunday...

I just didn't want you to miss the event. I am considering whether I'll try to make both events Sunday and Monday.

I need to set low expectations...
My wife says I am the worst photographer EVER! BUT... for my friends in this community, I intend to do my best. I know how important the photos are to those that can't attend. I have truly appreciated those that your husband and others have posted.

I have reviewed the rules that @J Alynn posted elsewhere. I doubt I can meet those expectations! But I do recall him also stating, that if there aren't photos...it didn't happen.

Please take some, lots, many, oodles, countless memory cards worth of pictures. We don’t want @cyure yelling at you. Please take at least 426 photos-using your weak hand then switch to your arm wrestling hand and shoot capture at least 500 more , covering all possible angles (worm’s to bird’s eye) and be sure to spend at least 4.5-6 hours there so that sun can have a chance to move and create new highlights (I spent over 3 hours in NYC and I felt like a failure). Duplicate all the same photos but in the fresh light when you arrive and...

Bring a tape measure too, but not a metal one lest you get dropped by Agent K. Think a soft tape measure for sewing. Floor height to ground, frunk floor to ground, trunk floor to ground, swing out carrier length, frunk size, trunk size, etc.

My husband always says even if you just get one good picture it’s worth it. Who cares about the ones that don’t turn out. For example, in Chicago he took 500 pictures in less than 2 hours. Were there lots of duplicates, yes. Did they all turn out, no. But I got enough to post for days on here and give everyone a really good idea of the event and all the different angles of the Traveler. We will all appreciate any pictures you get, especially if the Traveler has a new livery!

Knowing the overall opening of the frunk, width, height would be great! I know I have an idea of how I want to utilize that space, but don’t know if it can technically be done as-is. I assume for the most part the overall area will remain mostly unchanged into production.

I got the swing out carrier length with the iPhone measuring tool. If this is what you are talking about.

But yes any measurements are appreciated.

Great list. May I add back of rear seats to inside edge of hatch to get an idea of storage depth with seats up? Thanks
And if you could drag a CPR body, say large child, small adult size to gauge frunk capacity that would be great
(Should let this sit for a day for self edit note)

I might open up Pandora's box here, but the back end of the Scout's is like the front end of the Rivian for me, I just don't really like it, and I even own a Rivian lol! I get for Rivian the primary function of the design was so it was instantly recognizable, and well I would definitely say that was achieved but at a cost. Now with that being said I do think there are a few angles of the front of the Rivian that looks good.

However, I think the back of the Scout has too much surround lighting especially on the Terra. At least with the Traveler the spare tire or backpack breaks things up a good bit. I'd be interested to know if this surround lighting was going to make it to production or not. Is there any information on this?

I personally really like it but everyone’s tastes are different. We haven’t heard one way or the other on that particular feature that I am aware of.

I don’t think there’s been anything said for sure one way or the other. I would guess if they did eliminate any part of that design element it would only be the light bars going across on the lower spec models. I’d bet it stays on higher end ones.
