SiriusXM in Scouts?

[Goose]

Does anyone know if Scouts will have true SiriusXM? The prototypes and website images do not seem to have the usual shark fin antenna on top. Rivian has promised XM (for at least a year now I think) but it's only going to be a data streaming app, not the true XM satellite feed. I do have a Spotify subscription, but I often drive through areas that do not have any cell service.

Probably will have it. But scout is making their own decisions on what the OS will have. Rivian is just a foundation for the UI.
Thats why scout has already said it will have Car Play and Android Auto.

I know people have anecdotally mentioned Scouts will have AA/CP, however, until it is listed on the scout motors website I still do not fully believe it.

I've always tried the trial when I've bought new cars, and never really used it. Android Auto with Spotify is so much better!

Android Auto with YouTube music is a requirement for me, but I've moved away from SiriusXM. My tent blocks the XM receiver on my Bronco, so I've adjusted to living without it. Saving some money in the process.

I do think it's a basic function we should expect in all new vehicles, though.

I agree there are better sounding options out there. BUT, there are several areas that I drive through without any cell service; the NC mountains, coastal NC when out on the beaches, WV going to Snowshoe, etc. While it's not a 'dealbreaker' to not have XM, I feel like it should be available.
