I found it helpful to have the button in the ID.4. After 15 minutes sitting in the car, the system turns off. If I didn't have the button to turn on the system, I would have to get out of the vehicle and then go back sitting in it for it to turn on.
What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

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.
It's not a feature but the buttons to the left of the steering wheel are just the basic normal one's. I'd like it if they matched the other ones.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Can you clarify your thought because having seen them twice and had the rare privilege to sit in the traveler in NYC I recall a row of metal toggle type switches so trying to understand what you are referring to-thinking I’m missing something
This is why I hope they have options. So everyone can get what they like.
Real wood OK or you don’t like wood? If not wood what would you prefer to see?
No wood. Had an AM Eagle. Took all of the wood grain off. Kind of a pain. But it looked much better. Prefer it trimmed out to match the rest of the interior. The pictures of the Traveler I have seen, it would be challenging to change. A rattle can would be easiest. But would try to found some material to match the rest of the interior first.

No powered charge door and no powered HVAC vents. Both are just unnecessary gimmicks that make our Rivians less convenient & more complicated to use. Having a powered charge door as a mission critical failure point is ridiculous.

Back when I worked for Amazon I drove the Rivian vans almost daily, they have no start/stop button, From my experience as long as a weight is in The seat and the fob in the van it stays on. I had to sit on the side of the road for hours one winter due to policy and have people come to me for their packages, but in summer if I was in the van and sorting the back with no weight in the seat it would shut off after 10 minutes.
On the other hand in my Bolt I do have a start/stop button and I hate it because it works as intended most of the time, but sometimes (5+) I’ll press the break and push the button with no response. And I’m constantly turning my car on and off (30+ times a day) so the doors will lock when I walk away from it and I don’t need to fish out my fob. Also while I was at Amazon I had to sit around one day and it was cold so I opted to sit in my car, after 1 hour of being on with no shifting, it shut off.
the thing that makes me hate my cars start/stop button is when it’s hot or cold out, I just want my HVAC to be on as I approach my car, I get in with hands full and have to situate everything before I can press the break and then the button (only once if it works as intended) but on super hot days it’s the worst, or when it’s cold as soon as it turns on it blast all fans at max for 30 seconds before returning to my last set.. admittedly a lot of these might just be grievances with my specific car, but I can come around to the button in the scout if the heat/ac starts when I approach
Has there been anything showing how the charge port door actually opens? I know we’ve seen it in a fully open position, but it looks similar the bolt and Silverado “push pop” styleNo powered charge door and no powered HVAC vents. Both are just unnecessary gimmicks that make our Rivians less convenient & more complicated to use. Having a powered charge door as a mission critical failure point is ridiculous.

That’s all we had seen. No info on how it opens that I am aware of
There are still discussions as to whether it will stay where it is and how it could operate. All speculation of course but curious if it will live where shown or end up moving toward the front of the vehicles
Your gas cap wouldn't open. Thats about as bad as the bolvos that charge port and gas caps don't close after being opened.No powered charge door and no powered HVAC vents.

Our Ford Maverick Hybrid has a pressurize fuel system so they have an electric operated fuel door. However, they also supply an emergency pull hidden up in the wheel well to open the fuel door. I know you said "gas cap", so maybe different issue. Just FYI.No powered charge door and no powered HVAC vents.

I assume the mean the Rivians motorized charge port door. If I’m not mistaken you touch a little sensor and it swings up/back out of the way. The EDV from Rivian have a push pop charge door
Hopefully the new architecture will not have the random disable feature that is plaguing many Porshe owners in Russia right now.
Imagine a smart politically motivated hacker - shut down your vehicle if you go to a store on their boycott list.

That factory-installed Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) is just horrible. All because of a satellite security system failure.
