Ideas for Scout Engineers

[midwestscout]

Hi Scout engineers,

Below are some ideas for standard or optional features:

-add rear bumper corner built-in steps to allow access to stepping up into the truck bed, similar to the Chevrolet Silverado/Colorado.
-include a digital key option to use a smartphone as a passive key for entering/locking the vehicle.
-pre-heat/pre-cool cabin remotely via smartphone app
-include 360 degree camera options on both Traveler and Terra models.
-include Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as available options.
-heated/cooled/massaging seats
-excellent sound system with subwoofer
-flex-fuel capable for harvester electric/gas powertrain models
-include a drain plug in the front trunk for ice/beverages for camping/tailgating
-ensure the load capacity on both tailgate and suv tailgates can handle 2 adults sitting on them, say at least 500lbs.
-include an option for a plain-colored interior headliner fabric, I'm not a fan of the pattern shown on the reveal vehicle.
-allow an option for full-leather seats instead of the leather/fabric combination.
-include an option for at least hands-free driving if not both hands and eyes free driving.
-rain-sensing windshield wipers
-auto high/low headlight beams
-include 7 and 4 pin towing connections
-power sunshade on the glass roof option
-solid roof option for those that don't want either the retractable or glass roofs.
-allow Netflix, Amazon Prime, and others for playing tv shows and movies when parked.
-use Google maps
-have an option to use something like OnX for off-road trail maps
-matte black exterior color option
-matte black front and rear skid plate finish options
-relocate the household power outlets on the suv from the same area where the charge port is located to just inside the rear cargo area so that they are out of the weather in case it's raining.


Thank you for listening!

Agree with everything. I’d like Adaptive Driving beams instead of auto high/low. Rivian has Adaptive Driving beams and they are far safer with less glare to oncoming cars. As an ED Doc and Radiologist, I’ve seen the consequences of night time crashes and drivers saying they couldn’t see or were blinded by glare.

I thought I heard on a video someone said the battery will be smaller on the harvester models. You are saying the battery size is the same regardless whether it's the full EV or harvester model?

The battery will be smaller with the Harvester option. What he was saying is that both vehicles are EV. The batteries are all that power the wheels. With the Traveler option, you have a generator that will charge the batteries while you drive. But the Traveler engine will not have any physical connection to the wheels. The Traveler provides electricity to the batteries to supplement what the batteries are providing to the wheels.

Truck rear window was said to go down but they did t demo it

I vote for production of the Terra roll down back window
