Luxury EV

[cmz2278]

Like everything about Scout Traveller so far, but concept and actual production are 2 different things. Have owned a Tesla and have driven Rivian as well. My biggest issue with current EVs is poor build quality. Parts creaking, cheap plastic, awful road noise to name a few. Air suspension, matrix headlights, top notch sound system, leather upholstery, heated/ventilated/massaging seats should be offered in today’s market to compete with German and Korean cars. I feel Scout should offer a luxury trim version where these issues are taken care off. This can be as add ons or packaged as a trim.

If you are already providing range and 3 rows, just make it luxurious and comfortable enough for families to enjoy it. Make it a true American luxury EV SUV.

Take a look at the Ford Raptor steering wheel, that’s cluttered!

I like the simple idea of Scout with a mix of touch screen and physical hard buttons. I’d gladly give up my 12” touch screen for a 10” with physical buttons for heated seats and steering wheel.

What's with all those steering wheel buttons. Holy S....

I agree - it’s a lot!

Looks like my TI-81 calculator that I still have from 1990.

My TI-82 fell off the roof of my Bronco back in college. It was a sad day. I remember having Tetris on it.

I did not want to start yet another new thread, so this is probably the most appropriate one to post this. I will likely check most of the luxury option boxes. I do not offroad, but I appreciate robust suspension and build quality. I loved the way my Scout II looked, but I hated the way it rode. We really have not seen a street focused version of the Scout Traveler yet. But, let's face it, quite a few Scouts will mostly be on pavement and I am not saying that is a bad thing. So, I took a swing at how the street version may look. I prompted it with a modern take on the Scout II's polycast turbine wheels sized up to 20", I added Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires and Audi Sonoma Green Metallic paint. I am liking the way this is looking.

Here is a version in Porsche Cosmos Blue which I think is also a great color.

Oh I like that. Has a little bit of purple to it.

Here it is in full profile in Cosmos Blue.

This is a variation on the interior based on real pictures I took at reveal. I prompted AI to change the colors of the Traveler's Clay interior to gray/blue Canyon scheme shown in the Terra. I think this would look fantastic with the the Cosmos blue exterior. That is if you want the console like I do.

First dark green render I’ve seen that I like. Which is weird since stance and lack of carrier are the only real differences

I had cosmic blue on my Audi TT which was similar but the violet clear coat was amazing at night under parking lights

Slap a tire carrier on it and I’d be happy. Need roof rails at a minimum as well

Looks good. Knowing we both saw it in person I’d almost rather see the colors inverted with the super pale gray being primary and the slate blue gray being the accents but this or the clay interior would look good with that cosmos blue

Both things I do not want, but I get it.

So you are in the no tire carrier camp. I am firmly in tire carrier camp. I HAVE to have one. I am unsure if I want then roof rails or not. I don’t want a rack. Right now if I were to have to place an order I would not get them. I hope the things that go on the roof are not in any package and you can pick rack, rails or none.

Luxury EV? Sounds like you want the Audi version. Scout's gotta keep their options a bit more limited to keep from stepping on the toes of the Four Rings.

Nah, I am not an Audi fan. They are nice enough but just not me. In that realm I am all BMW. I want a Scout, just a really nice one.
