I'll be there and the first one to order!
Perhaps drive down to you to have you install it :biggrin:

I picked up the Plexiglass T's today. Now I'm waiting for delivery of the lighting hardware. Hope all will be in place by the weekend and I'll be able to develop the next beta by the following week.
Thanks Aaron. The lighting will be very challenging. I had about half a dozen plexiglass T's made up so I can experiment. Ideally it should be lit from the side but hiding the light source will be a bit tricky. I'm going to try LEDs, a rectangular EL panel under the T, and split EL tape.
BTW, will you be attending TESLIVE? It would be good to see you again.

I will be at Teslive!
Flying in Thursday night so I could take the Friday Factory Tour A! My flight out on Sunday is late so I'll be doing the Sunday drive as well riding shotgun with weccman!

The design options are beginning to sort out. Basically it's some down to two, both illuminated by LEDs. I'll show both at TESLIVE before I post them here. They're not finished yet but should be in about a week, depending on how quickly the parts I need are provided by the vendors. The pieces that are most necessary are polished stainless steel overlays for the plexiglass T's. These have to be cut with a water jet, not a capability I have at home

Dude, there's a business here! These will sell like hot-cakes!
Can't wait to see.
I'm not planning to manufacture and sell these -- it's just for the fun I get out of doing these things. For me it would all be hand work and very inefficient and costly. But if someone else wants to use the design and manufacture them, I'd be happy to collaborate
I hope someone will take up the job of manufacturing these.
If I could have it, I'd love it to be lit up when the headlights are on. Off other times since it wouldn't be noticeable. But it would be cool if it would flash slowly while the car is actively charging.

Are there any laws that would prevent/restrict lighting the T on the tailgate? That would otherwise be cool too.
I don't think that there'd be a legal problem. In fact it could be set up with red LED's that would brighten when the brakes are applied.
But setting this up would be much harder than on the nosecone, as the tailgate T is mounted on sheet metal and would require drilling holes in the tailgate.
