Elio P5 At Detroit Auto Show

[CrimsonEclipse]

I swear, the numerals on that Elgin dash look smaller every time I see them. What could EM be thinking?!

Ever see an Elgin dash on another car? No? Wonder why? It sucks, that's why!

Look, you are part of a statistically insignificant 75% who hates the Elgin dashboard.
For shame!!

There's nothing on that red insert panel besides a reflection of the dash to the left of it.

Here is a close-up crop of the photo in question. I don't know what the rectangular recess is .

Just watching the press conference on Periscope. Great news PE just announced they are closing the offering Feb 1st (two months early), and that they easily surpassed the $12.6 million minimum. Shortly after the offering is closed, they will be listed on the OTCQX .

Which rectangular recess? The one in the foreground is clearance for the hand brake handle. I think the one behind the gear shift is just a storage bin.

ETA: John, there's a press release to go along with PE's statements on the Reg A+ funding. I put a link in the crowdfunding thread.

Here, I cropped it down to point it out

See in the red area? Is that something there? Or is that a reflection?

When the P5 was at the LA show, the member from here listened in on what people were saying about the Elio.
Almost all of the people that sat in it, or looked at it never noticed the dash, or said a word about it.
The Elio Owners forum only has 3,685 members; total reservations are at 48,886
So the Forum members represent less then 10% of all the reservations; even with that, not all of the people here hate it.
So saying it's 75% is just a little off the mark.

Tried to watch but it didn't work.
Does Periscope require special software?

That's a reflection of the dash. It looks slightly magnified and distorted due to the concave shape of the panel. There wouldn't be enough room to fit something that size inside the wall there anyway.

No, though there are apps for iOS and Android to make it a bit easier to view and broadcast. I think this link would work try it https://www.periscope.tv/w/1MYxNRgDbOQxw
