I still hope we get Scott on the forum to answer some of our questions. That would be awesome.
What do we think is going to happen on the 24th of October?

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.
But... I'm hoping for that visualizer they've promised us. I also wouldn't mind a peak under the covers of those vehicles in the back of that Benjamin podcast interview.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Jamie posted the other day it will be closer to January before we see that.
I'm hearing it will be 1st quarter 2027 now (closer to January). Needed a little extra time to make it special just for all of you. 
I think just some cool new photos would be great. Not sure why we “need” something. Maybe just another confirmation things are moving forward as planned. Save the money and focus on the vehicles
I'd love to see a better preview of the in-vehicle UI.
Well, at least the hours of productive time wasted can wait until then... *sigh*Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Jamie posted the other day it will be closer to January before we see that.

At least I'll be getting paid for using the visualizer instead of it being released during my holiday break! Reminds me of this story I saw:

I'm doubting we'll get anything but if I'm wishing, I'm if wishing for anything, it some sort of news. Seriously. Any sort of news. Give me some spec, some confirmed color, something confirmed. Anything. 
You’re probably right. It will be a bust like last yearI'm doubting we'll get anything but if I'm wishing, I'm if wishing for anything, it some sort of news. Seriously. Any sort of news. Give me some spec, some confirmed color, something confirmed. Anything.
Seriously, just some details of some random part or specification that's been finalized. Something, anything.I'm doubting we'll get anything but if I'm wishing, I'm if wishing for anything, it some sort of news. Seriously. Any sort of news.

Even if you're not giving me pictures, I'd be happy knowing the wheel bolt pattern and size/backspacing information so I could start playing with aftermarket wheel options in my head. Surely that information has already been determined, even if final wheel options haven't.
I don’t know if it needs to happen on the anniversary of the release, but I do think a significant update is needed. It’s been two years since the initial release, and we have seen very little since then. What we did see wasn’t great. Notably, we saw that towing capacity was reduced with the battery (allegedly) and rumors of significant delays that Scout hasn’t really responded to. I really want one of these trucks, and I am willing to wait for one, but if there isn’t a line of sight to production, along with confirmed specs, I may lose my patience.
I assume I am not alone in my feelings. Keep in mind that those posting on this forum are the most excited for the trucks, and there are a lot of people who want one, but are just as willing to buy something else.

Totally! Scout is already pretty interactive with its reservation holders but I still think it could do more. Like they could confirm the dumbest stuff and we'd all eat it up. "We are confirming that the frame and body panels will be made of steel." The forum would be on fire!
Seriously though, let's say they have 12 months to eat up between now and when they release the configurator so we can all lock in our purchases (I'm being positive here!). Now let's say that's 11 months because the month before they could confirm the release of it. In those 11 months, we'll have the website update and the visualizer. Now we're down to nine empty months. They could confirm one thing a month. Doesn't even have to be big things like colors and wheels (of which we'll get a hint when the visualizer comes out). Confirm the size of a glove box, or the cubic inches of the center console, or how fast the wireless charging will be, or the number of settings you have for following distance on adaptive cruise control. I mean, it's endless. I know they don't want to confirm something that many not happen, but like, they have a lot of stuff they can confirm between now and production that they could confirm today.
I think we may get nothing and we’ll quietly accept it?
This is an excellent idea! We have gotten quite a few small things confirmed, for example rear wiper on the Traveler, drivers side grab handle. Small things like that being confirmed would be great.
With the thousands of details on a vehicle like this, they could feed us a bone every day and we still wouldn't know too much by the time production vehicles rolled out for the first time.
