App & Remote Functions via Phone - what do you want to see?

[MadGreek]

Since these new Scouts are a complete ground-up EV platform, the Scout app should be able to do a lot, like Tesla's does. What does everyone expect at the very least in terms of functions? What about reach / hope functions?

For me the Scout phone app should at very least do:

- end-to-end purchase process (including applying for financing, uploading required documents, scheduling delivery)​

- phone as a key (PAAK)​

- turn vehicle on​

- open close windows​

- set temperature / climate control​

- flash lights​

- honk horn​

- schedule charging and preheating​

- display all basic vehicle info (mileage, tire pressure, last trip data)​

- schedule service / repairs​

- chat with customer service​

Hope functions:

- warn you when there's "Sentry Mode" events occurring​

- load live camera views from vehicle​

- ability to speak via vehicle's external speakers​

- summon vehicle to you​

That's a very comprehensive list of basic functions already so I'd be happy with that list too.

Would also like to see a navigation function where you can plot our destination and send it to the car's nav.

I would like to see a turn generator on via the app.

I couldn't care less about app functions. Past 4 vehicles, including current 2, have apps I never use for vehicle find, start, etc .

Call me old fashioned but I use a smart phone to phone and text and key fobs to drive.

Shoot, I have a feeling industry trends will come back around to keyed ignitions for "nostalgia" sake.

None.

Don't care, don't want it, won't use it, would rather not pay for it.
