Technical challenges

[mcguy75]

Hello Scout community,

I am proud reservation holder and excited to see if the final product is worth the wait and the $$.

I have noticed that alot of the stories and news covering is heavy on the story and the emotional / nostalgia feelings. As well as this sells to many peaple there are others out there that would like to see more of the technical side of Scout development. I guarantee that the amount of challenges being faced right now are monumental. They should be proud of some of those challenges failed or won.

Can we see some of that, maybe even in a story form?

Can we see the development of parts, the creation of a wire harness and the challenges that you may have faced, how to keep the weather out. close tolerances or just how much wire is expected to be in the Scout? How difficult is the zonal architecture? Are you still trying to make it 80% user repairable? What challenges have you faced keeping that in mind?

Thank you for listening and keep up the good fight. We WANT you all to be successful and proud of your accomplishments.

Well you are in luck! @Jamie@ScoutMotors posted this the other day. Looks like we will see a lot of what you are asking for next year. I’m so excited!

Post in thread 'What do we think is going to happen on the 24th of October?'

Totally! Scout is already pretty interactive with its reservation holders but I still think it could do more. Like they could confirm the dumbest stuff and we'd all eat it up. "We are confirming that the frame and body panels will be made of steel." The forum would be on fire!

Seriously though, let's say they have 12 months to eat up between now and when they release the configurator so we can all lock in our purchases (I'm being positive here!). Now let's say that's 11 months because the month before they could confirm the release of it. In those 11 months, we'll have the website...
