Yep, same experience. Later got the email, returned to website - not prompted again, address was saved in profile.

If it ends up mandatory on the high content option packages then I will likely pass (on those packages). Only air bags I want are inside the vehicle.

I'd be willing to pay for a gimmick neat thing like electrochromic glass or solar panels - but I think the take rate would be very low so probably not worth developing either.

Yeah I'll never be interested in driving in a coffin.

I think last we heard production start is expected late-2027 for MY28? I may need to plus-up the family fleet in spring 2027, then our next window is fall 2028 - probably MY29. Just the way it rolls (no pun) with all-new brand-factory-vehicles.

Go to NC or GA?

Too bad Vistiq didn’t retain Lyriq’s physical switchgear? That seems a disappointing, cost-cutting downgrade.

I'll be watching for the same thing. I'm much more drawn to modern-retro styling, physical switchgear, and overall size/stance vs. body-on-frame, harsh offroading thing. All-weather 3PMSF tires vs. all-terrain tires w/ more moderate sidewalls, etc. Scout could have significant cross-segment...

Check that link - it leads to March update. Here it is again - https://blog.scoutmotors.com/april-2025-scout-motors-production-center-update/

Encouraged to see the tailgate hinge without the swinging gate installed.

Its a long wait until 2027-28. I's bet Scout has its comms plan pretty much locked down for the coming few years.

I have a printout of my Scout reservation and an article about Europa Clipper's '5-year journey' taped side-by-side on my home office bookshelf.

I’ll likely wait until MY29 based on when we add drivers in the family. But should still have it well over a year before Europa Clipper arrives at Jupiter in April 2030. Patience for a car is easier when you compare it to space travel.

Split tailgate on our 2004 XC90 is one reason we still have it - all of that above, plus working in/around the garage/yard, naps during kids' sports, etc. Scout concept is the first time I've noticed a tire carrier enough to hate it. Are such things usually so polarizing, seems you either love...

We've got Grand Highlander FHEV that we'll keep forever. Scout BEV will replace Volvo ICE in a few years. So will be able to flex between hybrid and electric, no more pure ICE for us. Beyond that, perhaps EREV depending on market, infrastructure, etc. but that's (hopefully) 2030+ for us.

Agree plaid seats! But not dark, no coffin experiences for me please...

I’d happily overpay for chromic or solar roof, but value prop really isn’t there for much demand. Otherwise will take steel roof since no moving parts.

I expect that I'll goal-seek towards the highest BEV trim available without mandatory air suspension or exotic offroading HW that I'll admittedly never use. I'm all in for retro-modern BEV with elevated stance and physical switchgear. See you at the mall.
