I got really really annoyed with the delays in pairing from Teslogic (takes ~2min usually before it starts working), so I decided to compare against the S3XY buttons dash functionality.
* I prefer the Teslogic dash data layout, once it's connected
* S3XY Button's dash connects instantly, and has the right range numbers.
Re: I prefer the Teslogic dash. Screenshots all come from the vendor pages:
The blue circle there is actually an analog speedometer... I've seen claims it's an efficiency gauge, but it moves proportional to speed not energy consumption, so I only buy that from the perspective that "energy efficiency" is just another way of saying "speed". Also notice the speed limit sign. Compare to the S3XY Dash display (screenshot of their webpage, because the image of the dash they're using has a transparent background, and so doesn't paste right). As I've posted in the Teslogic dedicated thread, the range numbers provided are all AFU. The one in the upper right (shown as a percent here instead) does NOT match the range the car shows... S3XY gets this right. Notice the highway range is longer than the city range: that's not true for EVs in general, and not true for my car in specific. Teslogic: Swap those?
I didn't quite resize it to scale, but got kinda close. You can notice that the speedometer readout is smaller: yep. All the text is smaller, and there's no "old man" mode. Yep, it's all hard to read at a glance at normal dash distances. But IMHO the biggest sin is the blue arc: that's not a speedometer, that's the gas-pedal position. So it's constantly moving and being bright, attracts attention. Gas Pedal position is just not that important, thanks.
The S3XY dash shows you the standard range number, and doesn't invent other range numbers to compare against. You can turn on stats-for-nerds to get battery temp on the main page (Teslogic puts it on an alternate "racing" dash), but only as text. Product suggestion: put battery temp as an optional guage on the right, where there's plenty of space? Consider that for more of the "Stats for nerds" as an alternate to text?
Not shown: both turn add in a green gradiant on the relevant side when your turn signals are on, which is quite nice. Teslogic changes that to red if the car thinks there might be something in your blindspot, I've not used S3XY-dash long enough to know if it has the same behavior.
