I'm pretty sure there's a button or combo of buttons on Centrex that can move the post. Lemme see, was it 9-3-6-# or 2-#-4-8-7-*?

Just the area where the gauges are. I'd leave everything outside of that (like the vents) alone.

Anyone ask about Cruise Control?

New post on Elio Motors
Introducing an Addition to Standard Equipment…
by The Elio Team
Happy Friday Elio’ers! If you haven’t already, this is the perfect time to get your lawnmower primed and ready to go. While the “official” summer kickoff isn’t for a few more weeks over Memorial Day weekend, it’s starting to feel like summer across the country.
Here at Elio Motors, our reservation holders are one of our most valuable assets. Not only do they help spread the word and believe passionately in the project, they are also valuable because they let us know what is important to them. Not only do they tell us what they love about the Elio, they also tell us what they want in their Elio. From the beginning, one topic in particular came up over and over. Elio fans wondered if it would come standard or as an option. The question only grew when we launched the first version of our configurator.
What about cruise control?
We have consistently received tons of emails asking about the availability of cruise control: it is probably the “option” that has created the most amount of emails and comments. We took these comments to heart, and then to engineering to see if they could fit it in as standard equipment. And…. drumroll please…they did! We are excited to announce that cruise control will come standard in your Elio.

How were we able to do this? We have often talked about the benefits of having a superior supplier network. The additional of cruise control as standard equipment is a perfect example of how having the best folks in the business coming together can get something done. When we told our engineering team that our reservation holders were clamoring for cruise control, they went to work and made it happen. “This is a great example of the Elio way,” said Jeff Johnston, the VP of Engineering at Elio Motors. “The sales and marketing group put cruise control on the “bubble list,” which lead to the group talking about it. Having the right supplier partners in the room at the right time enabled us to make this happen in a cost-effective manner for our customers.”
There will be many advantages to having cruise control come standard in the Elio. For one, this time of year brings to mind summer road trips. With cruise control standard, Elio owners will be able to give their legs a well-deserved break on long hauls. Secondly, for our fans with a lead foot, cruise control will help save on traffic tickets. The Elio by itself is a head turner, so cruise control will be a good way to stay on the road instead of having to pull to the side of it!
We appreciate all of the feedback from our great fans, and we hope you are as excited about this addition as we are.
Don’t forget, next week’s SIL (Spot In Line) mailing is the last before the 50% reservation bonus expires on May 31st at 12 AM Eastern. The deadline for the SIL is Sunday, May 15th, so if you want to make it to the top level with the 50% reservation bonus, this weekend is the last opportunity!

You can take out the existing one, and make a pattern and them probably use something like 1/8" or 1/4" heavy gauge black plastic.
Art and Crafts store (like JoAnn's or the smaller shops) would have it.
You only need a 10"x6" piece each; so a 12"x12" square would give you two blanks to work with.
Don't use Plexiglas, it's too brittle, Poly Carbonate (Lexan) can work, but whatever you use will need a matte finish; glare isn't something you want.
If I get a chance later I'll send you a link to what I'm talking about.

Don't know what it is, but I'm REALLY SURE it's not an airbag......Considering airbags are much larger, and then there is the whole steering wheel in the way thing.I believe that spot is for the redesigned Takata air bag.
Just sayin'.......

`TAKATA no longer an affiliated supplier to Elio Motors....per Jerome in Indy 6/03/2016.

I am going to walk you through a bit of a "turn off". First, I am going to do a Joe Newbie introduction to Elio. I start by googling "elio motors" and select the first entry, an ad entry: http://eliogenuine.eliomotors.com/ This page has a link to www.eliomotors.com in the upper left hand corner which I ignore because I am Joe Newbie. I page down to the text "The makings of a world-class vehicle." Above that text is a picture of the old dashboard dial configuration: http://eliogenuine.eliomotors.com/assets/images/features/05.jpg?v2 .
That picture is a real turnoff. Those dials are UGLY.
Now lets jump to the present. An awesome, updated image of the dashboad is on the Elio Motors website:
Conclusion, the http://eliogenuine.eliomotors.com needs updating. Those old dials ( http://eliogenuine.eliomotors.com/assets/images/features/05.jpg?v2 ) could scare off customers or become the basis for a block buster horror movie and related best selling Halloween costume .

You said those dials could scare of customers. How? Did you even look at the Elgin dash? It seemed very few people liked that.

The dials pictured in the JPEG image advertises a product that Elio Motors is NOT selling. The picture is misleading. As for appearance, that is a matter of taste. If they were desirable, other manufacturers would be using them.
Here is an example of a respected manufacturer who chose not to use them: https://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/en-GB/phantom-coupe.html
