Went searching for info on skid plate / underbody protection and here's the skids that were seen on the Scouts at the reveal event and this was posted by The Autopian --

"As for skid plating, a lot of what I saw under the vehicle looked like plastic aero covers. I could be wrong, of course, and it’s possible this isn’t production intent:"

But up front there is what looks like an aluminum bash plate:

I'm sure the plastic is the standard fare, more HD aluminum option available either as an option later to be revealed or the aftermarket will fill that void soon enough with some flush-fit options.
Some flush-fit underbelly pans lined with UHMW would be killer.
I'm a huge fan of that stuff.

I mean, if they expect these vehicles to be going off-roading in places where you need a front and rear locker. They should include some beefy skid plates. The plastic looking ones in the pictures seem like just concept mock-ups right now.

Aftermarket always comes through on tough underbody skids anyway, so there'll be options for the most hardcore off-roader owners.

I don't know of any aftermarket skid plates for Rivian but I may be mistaken. I know there are aftermarket rock sliders. Hopefully there will be more aftermarket products for the Scouts than Rivian
