Caught this article syndicated on my morning news feed. Some quotes relevant to this topic:

Traveler SUV, Terra pickup designs and hardware are all Scout, not Rivian

“We have no interaction with Rivian the car company,” Scout CEO Scott Keogh told reporters following the concept vehicles’ unveiling Oct. 24. “There’s a joint venture, that’s not finalized, that’s being worked on.”

The fledgling partnership aims to create what Rivian and VW Group are calling next-generation electrical architectures and software technology.

Keogh said software developed by the joint venture could potentially be used in Scout’s vehicles. And the Terra and Traveler will feature the centerpiece of the partnership: modern zonal software architecture.

Keogh has said Scout will use VW Group components when possible.
