Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

I don't think helmets will fit in those spaces. That is what threw me. Z

You're right Z, I went back and read that again. He must be referring to the trunk.

Some of the standard features include ABS, steel anti-roll bar along with front and side airbags. The driver is seated at the centre of the vehicle with his passenger directly behind. Both the driver and passenger seats have rear storage decks that are capable of housing one helmet each. end quote

Can someone please tell me what they mean by storage decks? I don't remember seeing a storage deck when I saw the Elio in Portland. Let alone two of them. LOL Z

Hi Z

I believe it is just a nice way to say very small trunk... two helmets could fit in the back and it could be called a storage deck for helmets...

A cool car deserves a cool dash. Why not use a simple "pad like" tablet display that is placed on dash. Digital Display has touch screen Graphical User Interface to select or configure digital read outs (Speed, mileage, rpms, engine temperature, oil pressure, voltage, mpg, fuel, trip mileage, miles to empty, compass, warning indicators- engine light, abs, brakes, airbags, maintenance interval). Options could be plug ins for GPS and rear view camera.

I've read on Facebook (not official) that Paul may be caving on the Elgin dash. More news at 11.

I hope you're right. that is the only really idiosyncratic (i.,e, personal and quirky) design choice in the interior -- and we all hope he gets enough noise to change his mind. That thing stinks.

I'd be happy with a mounting point and a power source .... I recently found an app called Torque. You plug a blue-tooth adapter into your OBD2 jack, and Torque shows you no end of information about your car's real-time performance displayed on your pad or smartphone. The adapter cost me $23 dollars (cheaper ones are out there for about $10.00 retail), and the app was $4.95. You can configure the app to show what you are interested in ... so it wouldn't cost Elio a ton to make the connection point and the BT adapter part of the car. Under $10.00, in fact.

Was his version to look just like the one in the picture or was it looking different? He was supposed to show us a picture of his version.

That image shown so far in this thread is at least six months old. We are still waiting for EM to release the new rendering or photo.

Thanks. So we are all still working within a framework of conjecture here.

That's pretty much the way most things work around here.
