Purchasing original sketches, drawings, and samples

[Iguy]

I saw a post the other day showing some of the drawings of the design and it made me think I’d really love to have some of this stuff. What’s the chance people could buy (or maybe it’s included for first year members in the purchase) some of this stuff? Original hand drawings, samples shown at launch, various renderings, etc.

As someone in the design field and having seen images in person at the reveal I would love some. That said, as a designer of something significant, they will likely never sell originals. Maybe some lithographs or prints would be cool though!

I am in for a limited edition signed print....

Totally agree on selling originals. Would love to have them, but figured maybe signed limited production high quality lithographs or prints would be excellent! Need some wall art for the shop!

I’d still like a render like image of my actual scout as part of delivery for first year members. How cool to have a print of a render that looks like art but matches your exterior build. That would be SWEET!!!

This is something we are working on. Stay tuned...

When I purchased my 2007 BMW 328i I received in the mail from BMW a print of the designers sketch along with another picture that had a description of the design language and vehicle. I had them framed together and they were in my office as long as I owned that car. If Scout did something like this to send to owners after purchase that would be amazing! That was also the time when BMW produced those short films and each one featured a different vehicle and I received a DVD set in the mail that had all the films. I still have those, things like that add to the fun of purchase and creating the Scout community. Also that BMW dealer had a plant delivered to my home the day after purchase with a thank you note. Special touches will really set Scout apart from the rest. Glad something is already in the works.

I received something similar when I bought my 135i in 2008.

Being an early deposit holder with Rivian, I received a nice print for an early R1S rendering (well before the vehicles were actually released). It's framed in my office and was a very classy touch from the company.

I have no doubt they'll eventually compile a coffee table book of some kind. I'd love for them to go along the route similar to a lot of movies where they have "The art of..." book. Having something that goes over the design elements in a way with high-res, close-up shots to turn it more into an art book would be great. Along with it, they could have a limited run, first edition that comes with 3-5 prints/photos that can only be obtained through the book purchase. Would also be very cool to have the designers that worked on the project sign them too, I'm always a fan of showcasing the people behind the designs.
