What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

Scout will have this, and you'll be able to enable things like this from the App

Agree 100%

Most new vehicles will allow you to turn on the AC, (generally full blast) using the key-fob. For other niceties an App. will be required.

A vehicle in the Scout’s price range will have an app. Heck my son’s Hyundai Venue has an app that allows you to do that.

It sometimes seems to me that virtually all vehicles are designed by people who live in much cooler environments than me. I think I have read that it is not uncommon for temps in vehicles can hit 175 during our summer - opening the door feels like stepping into an EZ bake oven. It would be nice if someone made a hot weather state version. Start with insulating the solid roof. Maybe put in a small ventilation fan to keep the inside temp near ambient outdoor temp (without the drain of actually running the AC). Perhaps, give us the ability to remotely turn on the AC (so we can turn it on when we feel like we will be leaving a store in 15 minutes). Likewise, perhaps an easy to choose semi-cool mode, not necessarily run the AC at full cold (will want that mode for dogs), but maintain the car at non-life threatening levels.

Only other one I would ask for is good hard points for mounting aftermarket roof racks. Something that can handle fairly serious weight (like 700lbs for the static load of a roof top tent) and decent dynamic weight (300lbs for 4 kayaks).

Since they are using Rivian software, there is a very strong chance, if not a guarantee that they will use this Rivian feature.

It automatically kicks the AC on to protect the screens in the vehicle.

I too live in a hot climate. We see 100*+ pretty often, and since we live near a lake it gets pretty humid too.

I did make a feature request for pre-cooling the cab with the phone app in the Suggestion Box thread. Also requested solar window treatment as an option.

The additional roof insulation is also a great idea. May knock a few pounds off of the payload capacity, but that’s fine with me.

Everyone has an App. My Stove, refrigerator and microwave have an App. Why they have an App isn't clear. I can do everything without it, with the exception of preheating my oven as I am leaving the grocery store with that frozen pizza. As they say there's an App. for that.

I dunno if it applies to all vehicles, but it seems that the scout EVs were designed by people cooler than me
