Electrochromatic Panoramic Sunroof?

  • 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.

Hoping they decide to go with a glass sunroof that opens that has a typical shade. The canvus roof looks cool but would get really cold in the area I live in during the winter. Really want a roof that opens though. Not many EVs out now that have sun roofs that actually open.
 
I know there has been some discussion about roof types, but for the concept panoramic sunroof is the thinking electrochromatic tinting where you can set it opaque or translucent, or a simple physical shade?
The cloth sliding roof has got to go. Needs to be a solid slider.

I am really looking forward to the glass roof and want it to be as big as possible. In my Wrangler I replaced my roof panels with an aftermarket product called Clear Lidz. It makes my Wrangler even louder in the cabin on the road and the seal over the doors allows wind in but I don’t care. I love that my Wrangler has an open air feel and I can see the sunshine and the rain year round. That has been my biggest obstacle in picking a new vehicle is that I want the biggest glass roof possible. I don’t want just a regular sunroof. Makes the vehicle feel dark like a cave and I hate that. I am so glad Scout is giving us options for the roof so customers can choose the option that best fits them. I am firmly on team glass roof!
 
I have an F150 Lariat with a large pano sunroof and it has a fabric shade that closes over the sunroof. Personally I love the look of the giant glass roof however the first thing I did was take it to the tint shop and install a 30% ceramic tint on the whole sunroof. Best $100 spent I no longer feel like I'm sitting in a magnify glass. I would like to see the Traveler with a solid glass roof to cut down on cost and improve reliability.
