Scout Motors Prepares for CES 2025 with Exciting News
A Built-In Satellite Connection for the Great Outdoors
Next week, Scout Motors will be making a splash at CES 2025, and it’s not just about showing off their latest electric vehicles. The Volkswagen offshoot has some exciting news that will appeal to those who plan to take their EVs on long trips into the great outdoors.
The Traveler SUV and Terra Pickup: Equipped for Adventure
Scout Motors’ first two vehicles, the Traveler SUV and Terra pickup, are not due out until 2027. However, the company has announced that both models will come equipped with a built-in satellite connection. This feature is designed to provide drivers and passengers with a reliable internet connection, even in areas where cellular coverage may be limited.
How Does it Work?
While Scout Motors hasn’t revealed who their service provider will be or where they’re sourcing the hardware from, we do know that the vehicles will be "pre-wired from the factory." This means that drivers can expect a seamless and convenient connection to stay in touch with loved ones, navigate routes, and access essential services while on the go.
Community UX: A User-Friendly Interface
Scout Motors plans to showcase their "Community UX" user interface at CES 2025. As we learned from TechCrunch Disrupt, this interface is built on software developed by Rivian’s joint venture with Volkswagen. The Community UX promises to provide an intuitive and user-friendly experience for drivers, making it easy to navigate the vehicle’s features and stay connected while on the road.
