CYURE GOES TO NATIONALS!!! Yay!!!

[cyure]

By the way, this is exactly why I am in this forum. To have things brought up that I had not considered. I don’t go off-roading so really don’t need a brush bar, but want to have easy access to the frunk. So if the brush bar is going to be in the way then seems like I won’t be getting it. Thanks @Jkew

Now for all you people who like engines under hoods here you go.

OOOOOOHHH...SWEET! That is near the color of my 79 when it was new. Looks like the 345 engine...everything in there looking familiar. Mine is pretty clean under the hood but nothing like this. This makes me want to get mine looking like this again.

You totally should!

Here’s a picture of it.

That is a clean 79. The stripes look interesting as well.

And the little tray table is such a fun feature.

Yeah, the concept green thread shows that the concept bull bar would block the frunk slide. With the Lightning there’s not much clearance needed for the frunk to open, so I’m not sure the frunk opening would be impeded by that bull bar, but anything closer would definitely cause problems.

The bull bar as shown on the concept vehicle renderings is fairly useless for any kind of elk-stop, bull-bar, or stinger for off-roading anyway. It’s entirely an appearance over function add-on. It’s not fit for purpose.

We’ve driven 5-8 hour drives where the passenger is on their laptop working. This would be so helpful for that. Especially if it had a charge port nearby or if one could plug in a charger inside the glove box and thread it out so it is available alongside the table/tray. So much more tidy than having a charge cable down in the footwell. And even better would be if the laptop could stay on the tray while the tray is closed so it could disappear from view...

Good observations. Plus the other thing I hadn’t considered, it blocks some of that pretty Scout grill. Decision made. No bursh bar.

Good morning forum friends! This next set of pictures is when they closed the back of the Traveler.

@Jamie@ScoutMotors are the active break lights different on the current prototype vs what we saw at the reveal? They seem more prominent than I recall. They just seem brighter.

I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend!! Here is another picture of the back seat. It’s so nice the back seat floor is flat. I know ICE vehicles have room for 3 passengers in the back seat, but we always try and put the shortest smallest in the middle and they are never very comfortable. Its so nice it won’t be necessary to do that anymore.

They had the famous binoculars at Nats that were at the reveal. Haven’t used binoculars in years but it would be fun to have a pair.

I have a question. Are the headlights and the LEDs warm yellow rather than white? If that is so, I will praise all the Lords for this - yellow lights are so, so much better. They cause far less glare for opposing drivers and eye strain at the same number of lumens.

Hello! A bunch of us have had the very same question. My husband took multiple pictures at different times of the day and from different angles. And honestly the lights look slightly different in all of them. I don’t think we have a definitive answer from SM yet.

Honestly I think it would be nice if it was an option in a menu somewhere that we could change the light color and pick which tone we like.

Next time someone takes photos of the Scouts with a good camera, they should turn off auto white balance so the color of the lights (and everything else) isn’t dependent on the camera. There may be a way to correct for each photo’s white balance, but it’ll depend on the camera, available software, and the photographer’s expertise.

At reveal they were the bright white but lately they seem to be looking warmer like 2500-3000K.

Hello! Here is a closeup of the Harvester door on the Traveler. I love the little combine tractor in the graphic.
