Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

I am also retired, and open my little silversmith shop on weekends and whenever I like. So, I am retired and I work!! Still have time for the forum. It is the best free entertainment on the web.

Polls in 2015 will reveal that USA productivity plummeted in 2014. Likely cause..........employees monitoring Future Elio Owners while they 'work' between personal phone calls made while at 'work'. lol

It's still hard to read, ugly and inefficient. And my guess is -- it will change before production.

What if it changes from ugly to................... easy to read, efficient, and uglier?

The speedo and fuel gauges in my Triumph stopped working a little while ago and I have meant to repair the issue however always put it off as disassembling everything to fix things in those cars always leads to a few more issues. I only really ever take it on drives in the local area up to about two hours drive away and use a marked rod as a homemade dipstick fuel gauge as the tank is a simple rectangle shape with the fuel fill in the top center. If I really need to keep accurate track of my speed or keep track of distance traveled I just use the GPS on my phone but I rarely need to do that.

I am self-employed and work from home so this site is nearly always on at least one of the two big monitors in front of me on my desk.

Funny -- we have very similar set-ups, but mine is a Mac and yours ... well, it is what it is. Internet on the left, slide sorter on the right ....

Now THAT would be a dilemma. But I'd be a lot happier about it.

The one on the left is a Mac and the one on the right is connected to Windows laptop. I swing both ways. o_O

Goofyone, be careful with what you say because our words are often misinterpreted......LOL.

Even though I voted "NO" because the Elgin dash doesn't appeal to me, I won't get all dramatic and bent out of shape over it. It would be nice to have other options but when it comes down to it, I support Pauls dream and I am going to LOVE my ELIO!!!

You can have my Elio when you pry it from my cold dead fingers

I may be missing something, since I am guilty of not having ready all 92 pages thus far, but those spinning discs appear to be digital, right? If that is correct, perhaps EM could install a switch that would change the display to just the whole MPH and RPM numbers (e.g. 67 or 2250 respectively). There would still be plenty of reasons to not embrace the Elgin, but it would certainly dispense of a healthy percentage of my reasons. Is this adjustment even possible?
