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.
I have a Rivian Charger without any neon branding, and this Wallbox one with a Neon branding for reference (not a great pic in the daylight).
The Rivian charger just has a simple light bar - no preference for either in my case - they both work well.

Certainly possible for Scout to do this, as the lighting is used to indicate status (see below):

Can I be in my house and just look at my app to verify my Scout is charging properly?

Our Lexus plug has some info too and indicates charging but I’m just thinking an LED sign panel as additional “artwork” could be fun and could be nearly a low volt wire/connector right off the charger plug so you could mount it higher on the wall
 
Found something out about our Lexus EV today and maybe it’s an override setting but was off and hope Scout doesn’t do it. We were at the store and I walked cart to the cart stall like 8 spaces away so my wife pulled out to meet me at the stall. She stopped and door had locked (she chose that setting). But the she tried to unlock the door and it wouldn’t. She had to put the vehicle in park in order to unlock it. Found this very inconvenient. Driver should be able to unlock the doors while driving and override settings. Just a weird experience we’ve never had with any of our Honda/Acura products or our couple European vehicles.

Oh yeah that would be annoying.

Maybe a retractable bed awning. I would hate to put a cap on it but maybe a rear rack to hold paddle boards and canoe/bikes. Keep bed items out of site and secure.

My Acura MDX had an optional retractable vinyl rear hatch cover. I would like something similar with the Scout Traveler. Great for shopping or traveling for "out of sight, out of mind". It also attaches to the 2nd row head rests posts so you can recline or slide the entire seat up/back individually.

Those are very handy. The Wrangler does not have one. Do Broncos?

I’m very hopeful they will offer a 6ft bed on the truck.
If they did I’d be all over that, as my current truck is the same. I just don’t see it happening though. Crew cab with short box is by far the most popular configuration, and they are a niche player jumping into a heavily competitive segment. I hope they live long enough to offer it in the future though!

We are putting positive thoughts into the universe. They are going to have long beds and 2 door Travelers with removable tops and doors. All the things!! They just need time, which is the hardest for us to deal with. 😹

Having had several MDX’s I have to admit we rarely ever used ours. In fact we no longer have an MDX but I still have a retractable cover in my basement. I’d prefer that to be a cheap add on option. The new Lexus has a foldable cover that is attached to the upper hatch so when you open hatch it swings up. It’s also much easier to remove that the traditional retractable covers so I find it less of a hassle. And because it’s made to fold in half we can just stick it to the side or on the seats. Last weekend we picked up a large garden pot and in two seconds it was folded imand in the back seat

I know, I know… but the realist in me just can’t get my hopes up, lol.

One of my minor worries with accessories from Scout and with the aftermarket not being "Plug-n-Play". 100% agree about the cargo cover being an option for those that want/need it. The major thing I didn't like about the Acura cargo cover is it is almost impossible to store inside the MDX if you need the 3rd row up (have to plan ahead and take it out).

Just would like the Scout to have the built-in design for accessories to be more Plug-n-Play without having to drill holes, cause permanent damage if removed, or voids a warranty. This would include different roof racks, Starlink/5G/XM systems, 360 degree AUX lights, tow winch, side steps, etc...

Agree. I hope it’s like Wranglers and Broncos, where they have a robust aftermarket.
