To add insult to injury, (and if I remember correctly), the FW update releasing the trip meter was almost ready when we shut down...

Well, now you're killing me here, Lol.
No trip meter, a "first world problem" for me for sure. People losing their livelihood, especially after investing so much heart and soul, that's a real and very unfortunate problem. I will try to keep it in perspective.

Just because I’m a glutton for punishment... any other features that were about to be released?

The other main one was an improvement of the range estimate I believe.

What about the ability to make our own firmware? Gone in the sale too?

Maybe someone could write add-ons and updates and sell them to us? There are aftermarket seats, fenders, lights, why not the firmware? This is how most Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Porsche tuners earn their living -- flash in their own performance firmware into customer cars.

I'm a day late to the party but I had this exact thought. Here is my 3D printed 'LCD protector' with an add on iPhone holder. I can call up a GPS app or a dedicated speedometer app as needed. If I need to see the battery level I just flip it up for a quick check every now and then and snap it back down and keep going.

Thanks! I have the files for the LCD protector bottom 2 pcs. on 'Thingiverse' if anyone wanted the print files. I don't have the iphone holder part on there but if anyone's interested I could add them on this site (I think??) or to the thingiverse page.

Very nice job of engineering! It takes all of us looking at the problems and solving them, now that we are on our own. These bikes are worth the effort.

I totally agree!!
Here is a link to the thingiverse page with the old (LCD protector only) print files. I'll update the page later today with the extra files for the iPhone holder when I get a chance.

Wow! And thank you for sharing!
But I think your thingiverse page link is not working, at least I'm not seeing it in my browser.
And I'm glad I posted this thread as originally I was hesitant to ask a question that had been addressed on the forum already, but I just had to get additional confirmation that there was still no trip meter function on the Altas. Of course everyone was very nice about it and answered my questions, and it spurred some additional good info that was shared.
Now TT drops this awesome bomb on us. Just goes to show you never know what you will learn when you ask a simple question.
And TT, I sold my '73 Bonneville 750 about a year ago, missing it! -Ed

Very nice! I have a later model T-140 that looks similar, just a different color.

I take a picture of my odometer at the beginning of my ride one at the end to get my trip mileage.
