fun features for the younger and digital generation who mught have never met scout of the old days (speaking from such perspective

[theadventurerfranky]

1. An idea that might be copied from certain Chinese brands apart from a compass or instead of a compass you can add a 360 camera or a 360 camera inside of the compass I don't know if that could be engineered and add some media platforms like Tiktok Instagram youtube and others so you can post the pictures yout ook from the inside camera on social media and show off like fun quirky posts
2. Another cool idea also copied from certain Chinese brand is to have karaoke with karaoke microphones that are connected to the vehicle imagine using your scout as a megaphone To talk to other drivers(also as a subpoint external speakers with customizable sounds like tesla's would be fun) And to simply have karaoke in the car as an amusement for road trips
3. Continuing with the amusement points you could also add certain incar games to play while you're charging or while you're on the road(except the driver that would be kinda dumb unless its a guessing game or something maybe the i see with my little eyes digital version, idk)
4. Streaming services in the car imagine watching YouTube tik tok or anything while you wait for the car to charge while you are in campsite oh and also spotify and audio streaming srvices like apple music amazon music and the likes
5. A branded audio system maybe you could colab with a a brand of old like Marshall, Rockford fossgate or any retro brand to do a revival alongside scout and to design a killer audio system for such a killer truck
6. Plad or any kind of chiq fabric style for seats That may be also makes special editions with like fashion brands or outdoor brands or something cool and relevant and also as that fashion element to the scout (Maybe you can even do if it's not that untasteful A funny leopards print seat or leopard print seated edition
7. Maybe irrelevant to the topic but sunshades If there are electric actionators better
8. Integrated navigation 3rd party apps like waze or Google Maps because let's face it almost nobody has trust in a built-in navigation system except if it has trail capabilities
9. An integrated voice assistant like Google Alexa or something like that and maybe IOT capabilities truck to house and vice versa
10. A fun customization program that it's taken a bit to the extreme Where you can bring a paint sample to be the color of your scout or maybe a fabric to be in your scout seat Or dashboard orany fun decals or stickers of your choice that you designed or made to put on your scout and add that kind of funky dealership tunning aspect like a certain jaapnese brand that was focused on the youth too
11. auto park becouse no milenial gen or later can park properly (this gen zer included) and maybe parking with trailers features
12. maybe add a removable in car bluethooth speaker like rivian or toyota

and thats all i could thyink off thank you
okay byeee

I’ll avoid most of these but auto parking is an excuse for not working hard enough.
Seating is superb as is.
I’ll be shocked if any serious camper/overlander wants YouTube streaming while camping. Point of camping is to get way! While charging-sure!

All I have to say about this

 

[Chaz26]

I've tried auto park on my parents Nissan and my Tesla, neither are very good, or rather, they get you in the space but it takes a crazy amount of time and if you did it in a busy parking lot it would annoy a lot of people! Granted I only used them a couple of times for the novelty but they'd need to be able to park like a competent driver and quickly in order to be useful.

I do like streaming services in the car though, not just for charging, but we use it if we pick up a drive thru meal while we're out. We can sit in the parking lot and eat while watching Netflix or YouTube TV.

Continuing with the amusement points you could also add certain incar games to play while you're charging or while you're on the road(except the driver that would be kinda dumb unless its a guessing game or something maybe the i see with my little eyes digital version, idk)

I was thinking about this yesterday and decided that there needs to be someone, anyone, I honestly don’t care who it is that does this because I’ll buy into it: built-in Animal Crossing. Choice of body decals, included sounds and music from the games, the electronic assistant voice options are your choice of the different villager voices. Do I think Scout will do this? No. Would I love this? OH MY GOD YES. I would drive the shit out of that. Best ita car ever.

Sounds like you want to add to your campsite all of the things we are trying to get away from when we go camping. Lol.

The only item from the list I might be inclined to use would likely be #12. I currently have a removable in-car Bluetooth speaker and find it quite nice when working on a project in the garage, changing oil, cleaning, detailing, etc. I would not use it when camping since that’s my relax, unplug, and get away time.

   1. Respectfully, this sounds like something I'd want to be as far away from as possible (I post to exactly none of those, on purpose).
      
      1. I'd imagine that people wanting to do this, would already have their phones handy to do whatever posting they desired?
   2. Also, with TikTok being banned in the USA, I doubt that any integration is going to be happening there.
2. Another cool idea also copied from certain Chinese brand is to have karaoke with karaoke microphones that are connected to the vehicle imagine using your scout as a megaphone To talk to other drivers(also as a subpoint external speakers with customizable sounds like tesla's would be fun) And to simply have karaoke in the car as an amusement for road trips
   1. The part in bold... I could maybe see being useful? The rest, definitely no, please no.
3. Continuing with the amusement points you could also add certain incar games to play while you're charging or while you're on the road(except the driver that would be kinda dumb unless its a guessing game or something maybe the i see with my little eyes digital version, idk)
   1. Games? I guess, but I think I'd be more likely to play a game on my phone, or like chat with whoever is in the car, or, call someone to catch up or something.
4. Streaming services in the car imagine watching YouTube tik tok or anything while you wait for the car to charge while you are in campsite oh and also spotify and audio streaming srvices like apple music amazon music and the likes
   1. Tiktok, doubt it. Youtube, sure, for use while charging. The music ones seem like they'd be used most while driving, so I'm sure those will happen, at least many of them.
5. A branded audio system maybe you could colab with a a brand of old like Marshall, Rockford fossgate or any retro brand to do a revival alongside scout and to design a killer audio system for such a killer truck
   1. A bunch of discussion on this already.
6. Plad or any kind of chiq fabric style for seats That may be also makes special editions with like fashion brands or outdoor brands or something cool and relevant and also as that fashion element to the scout (Maybe you can even do if it's not that untasteful A funny leopards print seat or leopard print seated edition
   1. I would absolutely 100000% avoid anything with leopard print. That said, if they offered it, and someone for some reason bought it, that doesn't bother me. But I'd be very surprised if that was offered
7. Maybe irrelevant to the topic but sunshades If there are electric actionators better
   1. You mean like normal, flip down sunshades? Yes, for sure, those should exist. But electronic sunshades? I don't know if that is a value add for me.
8. Integrated navigation 3rd party apps like waze or Google Maps because let's face it almost nobody has trust in a built-in navigation system except if it has trail capabilities
   1. I don't use either of those, but this seems reasonable, even likely?
9. An integrated voice assistant like Google Alexa or something like that and maybe IOT capabilities truck to house and vice versa
   1. I won't use this, maybe other people will? Personally I stay away from all of these as far as I possibly can (the privacy/security implications of both of them I find personally horrifying, having worked in internet security in the past)
10. A fun customization program that it's taken a bit to the extreme Where you can bring a paint sample to be the color of your scout or maybe a fabric to be in your scout seat Or dashboard orany fun decals or stickers of your choice that you designed or made to put on your scout and add that kind of funky dealership tunning aspect like a certain jaapnese brand that was focused on the youth too
    1. I'd imagine that wraps would be the best way to handle crazy paint requests. But, I'd be surprised if they offered user-customizeable fabric, or stickers
11. auto park becouse no milenial gen or later can park properly (this gen zer included) and maybe parking with trailers features
    1. Seems like a huge generalization. I'm chronologically on the older end of Millennial, and, uh, I have no problem parking. That said, I don't find myself having to parallel park super often these days, living in areas where thats not really a thing, and not visiting places where it is a thing .
12. maybe add a removable in car bluethooth speaker like rivian or toyota
    1. Not sure I'd want to pay for this, but I guess it could be useful in certain situations?
    2. Although, I've never really wanted to listen to music while camping (conversely, I've sometimes had to camp close to other people who I wished were NOT listening to music)
