Default Telematry option?

In the cluster gauge I see the telematry gauge/readout...I don't think that part will make it to production but does any think it might be an option that can be purchased from Dodge?

I don't know but if it's an option, I will have one. Started my Challenger Down Payment (CDP) fund yesterday. Initial deposit $2500.00. Should be golden by release date.

a picture of the telemetry gauge..it is awesome, but it is encouraging very agressive driving/street racing..so i cant see it being there, and if it is, it, on its own, will cause in insurance hike.

the gear listings display the speed at the end of each gear.

There's no way they're going to allow that. Like BadStratRT said, it would encourage Bad Behavior. Where would one even use it? Quarter-mile ET? Trap speed? No freakin' way they're going to incorporate that!

its basically a perfectly tuned g-tech pro...probably using wheel speed sensors, or output speed sensors....and it would be cool to have...imagine being able to add a mod, then go out on the deserted stretch of roadway, and get an accurate idea of how much it helped!!

Well let's hope Mopar offers it as an aftermarket option, lol. I would REALLY want one!
