Heated Windshield/ Night Vision

  • 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.

I currently have a pre-order in for both the Tera and Traveler. I live up in Maine, where ice and snow can be extremely burdensome during winter months. A feature that no other EV currently offers is a heated windshield. During the cold months snow and ice are always a hassle, and one of my previous vehicles had this feature which I cannot speak higher of. Definitely not my intent to offer this as standard, but the option for this would be a game changer for people living in cold climates personally, I would option this on EVERY vehicle.

Additionally, since a lot of the parts may be able to be pulled from Audi Volkswagen, night vision/ thermal imaging would be a another phenomenal benefit, being able to detect animals, such as moose, whose eyes do not reflect from vehicle headlights. This could be a life-saving feature and should not be terribly hard to implement since you already have the screens it would just require an additional video input for the primary driving screen or if there’s a heads up display that would be pretty cool!

Even if this was bundled as part of a cold weather, safety package or something of the sort, this would be something that no buyer in the north would option without!

One of my old cars had a heated windshield and it was amazing. You could never really see the lines either from a normal driving position so it wasn’t distracting in any way.
Easily one of the BEST features, would be so nice to have this added
