Please be patient; they're ensuring that the product has the right quality of build and system interaction.
That's easy to say when you've got one. Apparently the "quality of build and system interaction" was good enough for Ben, but not for the rest of us? Look up the phrase "creeping elegance". At some point you have to actually ship product.
Seriously, this went from ridiculous to absurd a long time ago, and now it's just starting to smell like weeks-old trash. I realize I may be killing the messenger here, but since you seem to have a back channel the rest of us don't, light a fire under those guys.
I really understand your frustration, but lighting a fire is literally the wrong thing to do if you want something that works. Ben's ride has PR value and he's game to deal with the teething issues. I'm dealing with them because I volunteered and can deal with all the engineering explanations and rough edges.
These guys have been working beyond normal hours and solving integration problems that literally everyone else threw their hands up about. The risk for failure for early adopters is getting stuck remotely with slow charging, so be glad it's me and not you.
I may be enjoying electric touring at times but I'm wasting a lot of time testing and fiddling and checking performance and reliability issues. It's not smooth sailing; I get to figure out headwinds and weird or occupied chargers, how to navigate small towns, reading Plugshare very carefully, and optimizing my Elcon rollout and cable arrangement. Not to mention being a newbie at this and soliciting advice from the extremely tiny group of experienced people, hoping to package that advice up for others.
