When I look at the legacy models of the Scout, I obviously begin to draw comparisons to Wranglers, Broncos, and even a Hummer in some respects. Something I love about the traditional ICE market, especially in the offroading niche, is the ability to modify these cars. I'm talking light bars, tow winches, rooftop tents, roll cages, armored underbodies, etc. When you pair these options with removable doors in the Wrangler and Bronco... you get these universally recognizable off-roading legends.
The most "off-road-able" EV the market has been given so far is Rivian with the R1 platform. These cars are great, but we lack the ability to add these modifications to them.
I desperately want to see Scout create a platform that is for the user to build on top of and tailor to the individual. Not to use Scout Motor's own words against them but I want to see a vehicle that respects the user's autonomy to purchase the platform and then build upon it as they see fit, allowing for a purpose that changes and grows with the owner. What do y'all think?
