Interior/Comfort Requests

[bluejaybehemoth]

Cooled seats for me, 360 overhead camera, I like the yellow interior light strip but the ability to change colors would be nice (had this on a rental Ioniq 5 and the kids loved it). Honestly if they keep the interior very close to what they’ve released I would be happy

I'm anxious to see what the final dash display and navigation/radio look like. It seems like new screens are getting bigger and bigger. Some go across 3/4 of the car now.

imo, the stuff you have to interact with daily is more important than the stuff you use infrequently. that being said here's what i would like to see Scout spend priority on:

• Comfortable seats - well bolstered, multi-adjustable, cooled/heated
• Premium Audio - unless you have an elite sound engineering team, go with a known brand
• High quality cameras and integrated dashcam - see Rivian Gen1 for reference (not good)
• Driver assistance at the level of Supercruise, Bluecruise or Autopilot - doesn't have to be great at launch but have foresight to put in the right h/w so it can expand over time - see Rivian Gen1 for reference (not good)
• Solid working wireless charger - see Rivian Gen1 for reference (not good)
• Quiet cabin (minimal wind/road noise that can easily plague EVs) - see Rivian Gen1 for reference (not good)

As a current, generally satisfied Rivian R1S owner, I completely support each of the "(not good)" observations above! I add: buttons/switches/knobs/levers for common in-cabin interactions - see Rivian Gen1 dash vents for reference (not good) and passenger audio volume control (not good).

I love reverse down tilt mirrors but they are pretty useless on cars with (good) 360 cameras. I have an older car with down tilt mirrors and they are great to have since there's no rear camera but in my newer cars with the 360 cam, you'll never need a side view mirror for parking ever again. I think that's one less electronic in your mirror to replace when you knock it off down on the trail!

Some ev like kia ev9 don't allow power on warmup or whatever with doors locked I believe... It needs like camp mode, sentry mode, dog mode.

Imagine if there were phsycial spare "hot key" buttons that you could program digitally to do whatever combination of commands you wanted?

HEPA Filter so we can have a system similar to Tesla’s bioweapon defense mode. I live in Utah and during the winter we have some of the worst air quality in the world. This would be such a big feature for me to have as I commute. I wouldn’t have to worry about staying inside when the air quality is so bad.

If ya dont want the option then dont take them, the idea is its good to have options like investing in the market, many investment opportunities.

Without a dealer model, assuming that continues, I hopefully will be able to do so.

However, options, "value added" operations in the production stream, add cost and profit. That incentivizes manufacturers and dealers to load everything up.

Which is why I've never seen a Lightning XL at 40k like they announced, that I'd be driving now, but see five Lightning Platinums every day.

I'd like a cubbie where you can store you sunglasses, had one on another truck, push the button and small compartment came down to put your glasses in..

Acoustic glass. Assisted exit seats/steering rack. Steps that double as rock rails.

If there were no more interior features than what a Scout II had, I'd still buy it. Maybe at a discount???

Wing windows!?!
