Been a bit crazy, feel free to reach out directly next time since I don't actively monitor all the boards. There are a LOT of units to get out and the USPS flaked on sending their collector truck Thursday and Friday...so I am renting a van tomorrow and making the multiple trips.
You get the first 30 days free starting from the time you converted you order, which gives me time to build and ship the unit. After those 30 days you get 18 months of support, meaning, you'll still get an additional 6 months of support even if you don't renew. If you do renew, you'll continue...
Stripe was being a bit wonky with receipts so apologies if you don't receive an email confirmation. I have been slowly re-sending confirmations but there is no option to do it in bulk.
In poking around under the passenger footwell for EV Play, I think I recall seeing the center vent actuators. I don't feel it would be too difficult to disconnect them and then add a few tabs to the vents.
On Tuesday I emailed 95% of the pre-order customers based on the number of units I had built in this first batch, holding a few units back for lost/damage shipments. Most customers have converted, but I have not heard from some. I'm going to email them again this morning, and give them another...
You can't, but, most/all of the features will be offered as an a la carte option, should there be some things you want to add later down the line. Yes, it auto-renews.
Correction on this, shipping for the current batch is starting Monday. The next batch won't ship until end of August +/-.
I don't think it would hurt to attach a USB A-C cable for charging or ? No external HDMI, but, plan on selling a compatible USB to HDMI adapter for those that want to input...
That is a common concern, but that's why EV Play was designed as a hardware solution -- think of it like a monitor switch that allows you to share a display across two computers. OTA updates to either computer has zero effect on the switching capability. The same applies here.
From a business...
As suggested, please try again. EV Play is certainly not vaporware. I am in the middle of the beta program and assembling units... so apologies if I haven't been on the boards as much. I will have a big update going out tomorrow, including install videos and app walk-throughs. Stay tuned!
Nothing to do with nostalgia or ICE vs EVs (plenty of new ICE vehicles suffer from this same thing). It has to do with distracted driving. You simply cannot turn up the fan/heat/vent position -- and many other basic vehicle functions -- without taking your eyes off the road. With physical...
You and me both! Speaking of vents, one thing you could do is have this toggle between vent presets and essentially create swinging vents. I'm sure they would break eventually (or maybe not?), but it would be cool while it lasted (pun intended).
That's actually a pretty cool idea but yes, mounting and look & feel to match the dash are the sticking points. That's why I'm leaning towards something small that blends in vs. trying to match and ultimately clutter up the dash.
Absolutely, a ton of information will be headed your way prior to pre-order conversion. Did you receive Sunday's update? Please check your junk folder if not.
Correct, with a small clarification: Each while takes a while to build & test, and there are quite a few to get out...so it can take up to 2 weeks +/- to ship.
