Scout Production Number Badge

[Milesm22]

I know we are still a ways out from production, but I remember seeing somewhere that reservation holders and community members would have their order ‘prioritized’ when production starts. My shower thought this morning was that it would be a cool little feature for Scout to include a little badge somewhere in the cab with a custom ID card. Metal that’s punched or laser engraved with info like our reservation date, Scout production date, and production number. Maybe even some stats on how many posts, likes, comments, or great ideas we had on the community forum
Almost like a little Easter egg for those who know where to look… Oh you were a reservation holder and Scout Community Veteran and you have Scout #127 etc.

Oh like the metal tag the Traveler concept has in the door frame.

I certainly think it would be cool. If all reservation holders that convert get something to signify it something that will forever be part of the vehicle would be awesome though. I also wouldn’t mind a small model version of the vehicle. Because I’m sure wants hot wheels or matchbox starts producing them. They will focus on traveler with harvester and whatever the most popular color is

A small scale model, like a 1/32 scale.

I like that, thats the vin plate. But its not gonna beprinted like that. Sadly I believe it has to be punched, so its gonna look different.

I almost like the idea of it being on the UX and stays with you while you own it but builds as a timeline if you sell it. Could also be set up to display electronic badges as accomplishments, like visiting a national park, doing the factory delivery experience or going to a national Scout event ?

Please don’t clutter my interior with something like that.

Not sure why I thought of Scout Credit Card when I saw it. Not opposed, but I would suspect that something in the Launch Edition will also be a unique identifier.

Ram thought it would be a great idea to put a badge on the center arm rest. When the sun has been hitting this metal plaque for a while, it’s as hot as the surface of the sun, and feels great on the arm. As somebody who has been burned /branded by this brilliant idea, I beg Scout (and other manufacturers) to not do this!

 

[RodorW]

If I'm not mistaken, Chevy did something similar with the first edition. Silverado EVS the armrest is a terrible place for a plaque of any sort, plastic or metal. If scout does something in the glove box where it's knowable to you, you can show it to people is a good place or ingrained into the dash where it doesn't seem out of place, but part of the overall design if that makes sense

Or if people want it to be hidden what about on the pullout tray.

I lived in Phoenix during high school, but moved in only 2 days before school started, from the Midwest.

Adjusting to the heat was interesting. And one of the first things we learned… was that the metal part of seat belts were the devil. You’d legitimately get burned if you accidentally touched one wrong.

(Also, this is a place where you can legitimately cook cookies in your car, and a place where I saw oven mitts used on the regular to touch the steering wheel. So heat was an issue there).

So please, no exposed badging, especially where it might get touched.

Also, glare is the worst.

Something on the dash outside of airbag deployment would be great

I always wondered why upper dash surfaces aren’t molded like ridges and divots so the sun doesn’t reflect onto eyes. Granted it would be a dust catcher but that would knock down 50% of the glare coming off the dash

I would rather have the workers at Blythewood put their signatures somewhere in the frunk.

That would be cool. We also need Easter Eggs like my Wrangler has.

Perhaps it's of my mind. The first thing I kind of think of would be ingrained so engraved into the wood if you get the wood – or stamped in the leather so it's not something that's going to be too eye-catching, but if you're looking for it, you'll see it. It could be something as simple as just reservation holder followed by your scouts production number

Oh that’s a great idea. Like those cutting board where they burn something into them.

Engraved in dash would be quite nice. I like that idea

We give one of those to every new homeowner-they get the image of their specific front elevation of their home-they look very cool
