Drivers not happy with their car screens

[jdgln]

Welcome to the community. I have a question for you. I always have questions.

If the center screen does not change size would that be enough to deter you from purchasing?

Yes, because I would rather have the Rivian R1S screen size or something close to it. So my preference is in the physical controls which the Traveler presents, but also having enough screen real estate to easily view and navigate the menus. Being that Rivian is the one developing the software, I can see the issues that would be present to go to the Traveler screen size as it is. My desire would be for Rivian to take cues from the Traveler and include more physical buttons. But there are other reasons that would deter me as well which I am now posting on other posts, which are concerns that need to be addressed which would make me go with the third generation of a Rivian R1S instead.

Fair enough. As I always say, I hope everyone gets what they want and if ultimately what you want is a bigger screen in a Rivian then no harm, no foul.

My understanding is that Scout is using Rivians zonal architecture, but the UX is being developed by Scout Motors for our Scouts. I am not expecting it to just be repackaged Rivian software.

Having seen the concepts in person multiple times I love those screens and I hope they don’t change.

Welcome again!

Perhaps the Rivian is your preferred vehicle. Noted prior but I’ve sat in the traveler and the screen size is more than generous and personally going to a vertical tablet isn’t critical because there are buttons for many of the controls so perhaps some are accustomed to the full screens of Rivian and Tesla but these are plenty big for how they are intended to be used

Having an airbag for a middle seat passenger might make it more difficult for Scout to have a more vertical screen. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, bench seat option and all.

Suits me. I love the horizontal nature of the dash and that screen is bigger than my car now so it is more than enough to handle daily needs
