But Elio has other bigger plans for its breakthrough vehicle. It has partnered with Infinite Skyz to offer an in-car software application that shall serve as a digital instrument panel, navigation, diagnostic center, and an app hub when the car comes out of the assembly.
And that’s not all; there will be more options that will be provided including optional cameras which could either serve as a dash cam, a security camera or a rearview camera. It shall also have a remote-start feature as well as a climate-control interface.
Elio Motors is also working on an instrument panel, which would be an improvement from the old Geo Metro gauge cluster that was shown with the P4 model previously. Company CEO Paul Elio personally designed the cluster which features rotating backlit dials for the speedometer and the tach.
Paul Elio said that the company’s strategic initiatives really paid off as they really buckled down to work with the end in view of meeting the production targets for the car.
He added that the completion of the P5’s engine prototype, the company’s buy-in offer to accredited investors, and its recent supplier summit, are just part of their strategic initiatives to ensure that Elio Motors will achieve progress every day.
