Made some business cards to hand out for car shows. Weather permitting, I'll be at Electrify Expo - Austin next week!

Hi, I read on another thread somewhere you were exploring using the GS450H VSS to drive your Speedo. Did you achieve this? If so, how? Thanks

Yes, I have a digital signal converter that drives my mechanical speedometer. The GS450h has a 15 tooth exciter ring and you have to know things like tire diameter (or rev per mile) but it's pretty easy to set up. I don't know that it's this exact model, but similar:

You could also do it purely on GPS with something like this:

I also have a GPS driven head up display and am calcing MPH in my VCU to send to a custom display and they all agree on speed (head up, Display, speedo).

Even when we say "finished", are we really ever truly done? Needed to make a special tool to change out the front springs on the 660e.

Also, I finally got around to changing my get_torque code to incorporate @Bryson one-pedal(ish) driving code. Wow! What a difference it makes in the smoothness of my drivetrain! Thanks @Bryson !

Those coolant bottles for electronics and battery look like came from the Chevy Bolt. I purchased one to use in my conversation too. Could you please share which connector you've used for the coolant level sensor? Thanks in advance.

I don't have anything that checks the coolant level, other than visually looking at them.

Crazy as it may be, I think I will need to sell this car. I'm listing my house and won't have any place for it. I have no idea how to even begin to value it.

With how clean your build is, Bring a Trailer might be a good option.
If at first you don't succeed, buy a bigger hammer.
