Thanks, Jamie! That’s good to hear. My point was that it’s cool to see women in things because it gives me a feeling that I, a woman, am welcome. I figured it wasn’t a devious act of woman-repellent marketing, but better said than not?

I will keep my anguish about not being invited to the launch to myself and instead warmly thank you for the free car that is most certainly in my future.
Maybe you can land an invite to a future event. Not as cool as the reveal 
but surely there will be other events or plant tours or something that will be unique.
Besides my other point I will add. Much of my career is designing homes/townhomes and while it seems to be a male dominated field, I always ask my wife and several women I’m friends with to critique plans. I’m always amazed at how differently we think. Having solid insight from both men and women is important as homes and vehicles are almost always the largest two $$$ investments people will make in their lifetime. They also affect 90% of our daily lives (unless you are urban and rely primarily on mass transit). Ironically it goes both ways. Down to the proper size for knobs and pull handles on cabinets due to hand sizes. Theses details matter and hopefully both groups within SM team of designers are approaching it to be as functional for both as possible to allow maximum flexibility.Thanks, Jamie!

Well, thank you!Keep making solid contributions to the forum and work yourself up the line.
I’ve enjoyed your contributions and feedback since you started posting and I’m glad more women are joining and offering thoughts and opinions. I know lots of Jeep and Bronco and 4-Runner women so it’s good that you are on and hopefully encouraging others to be here as well to provide input and feedback !!!
Thank you!
I really appreciate that. My friends know that I have a thing for Scouts, but none of my friends have a thing or have developed a thing for Scouts. I’ve been wearing my Scout Motors hat out and about and so far, hoping someone [not crazy] will notice and decide that I am the perfect candidate for spontaneous best friendship based on a shared appreciation of Scouts, but it hasn’t happened yet. I missed the NE Scout meetup recently because I’ve been dealing with kidney stones and their aftermath… that would have been the ideal place for such a scenario to take place. Alas!
“Enjoyed” that misery 2 years ago. Wouldn’t wish that on enemies. Sooner or later that hat will pay off. Like wearing a Penn State anywhere in the country. You always know you’ll make a new friendWell, thank you!

My wife recently took a college class on diversity and inclusion. Since it was online I was able to sit in on most of it. Some students started as skeptics and discovered it was not what they thought it was.I would go so far as to say that Scout has already done a really excellent job promoting women - at least in my eyes. And what's better than a woman driving a truck anyway?

As far as "wokeness" goes, that has nothing to do with Scout, electricity, EV's or trucks. Applying a "wokeness" label to an inanimate object is simply a sign of weakness. Doesn't take a lot of brain power to understand that owning an EV can make a person more self-reliant (particularly when it comes to fueling). Clean energy can be produced from your own roof, driving emission-free is a step forward, and caring for the outdoors and having self-awareness about your own impact on the planet is hopefully something EVERY Scout owner will consider.
There were a lot of brilliant female engineering students where I used to work in my old life for certain, but none of them really went on to work in the automotive industry. They’re ripe for the picking!!! I’m telling you, Scout Motors, you need to look at those top U.S. News and World Report engineering colleges for meat, like that one clown college in Cambridge, MA maybe? They’re good for some brains.
I realize that I could have put more thought into asking my question about “where the female voices at,” but it’s not less any less legitimate of an ask than “did you look into designing this so that the roof could come off?”
