Hi Tsiah, I understand this is the Internet, but please do a bit of research and learn about a topic before sharing your opinion. For the record, your statement above is factually untrue. Marc

It actually does taper, but in reading your suggestion, I realize that we need to increase the length of the tapering depending on the mode, or at least much more so to deal with the extreme mode 6.

Hi cmwade77, The most recent reporting was by @GetOffYourGas a couple pages earlier in this (very long) thread. Here's what he reported: We've continued to improve the software since the test units were released and recently began incorporating five driving modes. Because there is so much...

Pretty awesome collection you have there. Are there twins or triplets in that group? I imagine that you and their mom know quite a bit about playing a zone defense. Regarding the 90% threshold, maybe it makes sense to take it out of that mode? Would it help or hurt in your opinion? Marc

Hi RegGuheert, We haven't tested Mode 6 with fleets yet—it's still experimental so we thought to roll it out to this group. I'm glad the early impression is positive although I suspect your feedback on this point will not be in the majority. Most people want the vehicle to rock when they...

Hi RegGuheert, Thanks for your report. Feedback like this feels really good to read. A quick question: is your wife's 49-mile commute mostly high speed on a highway or is it stop-and-go slow-moving traffic? Marc

Thank you. Your feedback makes me think that at some point I should create a montage showing off the (also) high-quality components inside SmartPedal. Noted. So far that is LEAF specific, and I should have mentioned that point. I'll capture it on the support site. I'm impressed you figured a...

Hi Everyone, Newest videos for calibration and changing modes. We changed the software about two weeks ago and were playing catch up on this item. How to Perform the Optional One-time Calibration https://youtu.be/QRc3JvCvrqI How to Change Driving Modes https://youtu.be/wMDo_G8TGrE Note...

Hi GetOffYourGas, We actually developed a Bluetooth version about two years ago, but discovered that there was just not enough power at the pedal to drive the wireless and the 32-bit CPU. Undoubtedly in years hence the power requirements for BT will drop to the point it's feasible. In the...

Excellent news, and thank you. You can leave it installed. It's not detectable by the car or service tools and, frankly, the device looks like it's part of the pedal. SmartPedal is also "warranty safe" in that it doesn't cause the vehicle to operate outside it's normal parameters. In case...

Hi RegGuheert, The calibration process is very straightforward: 1. After physically installing SmartPedal, turn on the vehicle ACC—usually two presses of the power button WITHOUT touching the brake. 2. Briefly depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and then fully release...

Thank you! We'll ship tomorrow. Look for tracking info via email. I am sometimes embarrassed at how poorly we market ourselves. :roll: Yes, exactly.

Will do. The code is MYLEAF. It's active now through next Friday (Sept 29). We'll make sure to ship the 5+1. That's great to read. You hit the nail on the head on an aspect of our internal marketing conversation of consumer vs. fleet. In addition to increased range, our technology...

The price is $299 with a 1-year limited warranty. You can extend the warranty to three years for an extra $29, which is $14.50 a year. As inexpensive as that is compared to most warranty extensions, it's probably not a good use of your funds because of the high internal build quality. (We...

Hi GetOffYourGas, Excellent feedback. Thanks for taking the time both to collect this large amount of data and to post your results on the thread. It's really useful to us from two perspectives. First, the empirical data measuring performance is really valuable in and of itself. We did...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick note: the final release of the software is ready. We'll build and ship updated devices tomorrow. Look for an email notice with tracking info. As before, we will use the usps priority service, so you should receive within 2-days of shipment. Marc

Hi Everyone, Latest report from GetOffYourGas:

Hi Everyone, New release of the software ready and shipping tomorrow. The software will be on new Smartpedal units for swapping out with the original. Please return the original using the pre-paid shipping label. About the software: the device is now set up for three modes, not five. The...

Hi Everyone, We developed new software based on early feedback from the group. The software focuses mainly on driving experience but also includes some additional logic for further acceleration optimization. Please PM me if you'd like us to update your Smartpedal unit. Please also PM a...

Hi Everyone, If you're curious, based on earlier feedback in the thread, we researched the use of an audio device instead of an LED to signal diagnostic and mode data. The suggestion was that audio feedback would eliminate the need to poke one's head under the dash. I like this idea ( and...
