With the Scout being a new EV on a new platform there's a lot they could potentially do with the tech inside.

What are some tech features that you'd want or need the Scout to come with?

Personally I'm looking for things like:

Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability
Great sound system
In a perfect world great voice controls...but that's something that's always going to be tricky to pull off
Heated seats, steering wheel, and mirrors
Wireless phone charging
Navigation that can find nearby charging stations
Physical buttons, I don't want just a giant screen like a Tesla

Definitely agreed on most of that stuff, for sure -- especially the physical buttons and the smartphone connectivity. It's going to be interesting to see how that do all that, if they end up going for a retro look or if they go with a modern style. If they have a dash with what looks like a big iPad glued on it, though, they're gonna lose me.

And I hope they have a good variety of trim levels, too, so that people who only want the basics and don't want to spend a fortune will be happy to get one.

Good point on the trim levels. I hope there's a lot of options where you make your Scout your own. I hope it's not limited to 2-3 trim levels.

If the idea still remains for the Scout to be a proper off-roader then physical buttons are necessary. No one wants to deal with a giant screen while dealing with outdoor conditions.
