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 !
