Transcript excerpt
I built a car gauge brand because I felt like I was getting ripped off by this gauge I bought. These gauges only measure one sensor which means you'll have to have multiple gauges even if you don't want that. They're based on twenty year old technology and they cost more now than when they were released. Tier don't have any customizable options no the design that they come with is just the design that they get even if it doesn't match your car. And if you decide you wanna measure a different type of sensor you need to buy a whole another gauge. I've been designing this gauge over the last two years testing with hundreds of car enthusiasts to make the best 52 millimeter gauge. I'm constantly developing new features which you can install through the web app on the gauge. The next pre order for the gauge is going to be in a couple months, so comment egg to get on the waitlist.
