Phone tray in door handle like Rivian R2, but with charging

  • 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.
@cyure posted a picture of her phone in one of the wireless chargers in the non-bench seat version and those things look massive. Like way bigger than a phone. Hopefully they charge fast too. At least 15-20W Qi2. With the bench seat, maybe they won't put wireless chargers in? Maybe to harken back to the old days? But if they do, I agree that they have to find a convenient spot for them!

FYI that tray is just a tray. I also thought that’s where I was to charge my phone but I was incorrect. This is where they will charge.

I don't see why those chargers can't be in the fold-down armrest for the bench? Literally, cut that console off at the cup holders and all of that could fold up into the middle seat.

Maybe for better heat dissipation? For the bench seat, I wouldn't be opposed to a little pop out tray from within the seat cushion, kinda like the cupholders in the picture below. Use the ventilated seat airflow to keep the phone(s) cool. Gotta get creative if you want the bench and the tech.
