I split the threads, as the first one got into so many different aspects of MIMA that the throttle based control, the kit configurations, and the user interface options were all being discussed, and people were not able to follow them. At least that is how I saw it.
Sounds like we're agreeing. MIMA got effectively "multi-posted" to the degree that now interested members cannot now follow the topic. And to some degree it was unavoidable. But the solution now is to "tighten-up" the fragmenting of new threads so the topic can be followed (e.g. this thread

).

I will stop posting about MIMA on this group altogether if you would prefer, or focus on the user experience and MIMA progress threads if that makes more sense. As Armin suggest, maybe the answer will be to start a new category only for MIMA?
No need to stop posting about MIMA. The "issues" at hand are how to keep the discussion organized sufficiently such that we don't keep getting "stray" posts RE: "What's MIMA :?: " etc.

This MIMA project can help save gas, and show the world that the hybrid offerings of today are not taking full advantage of the intelligent control of the hybrid mix that an aware skilled driver can do. :wink:
Yes, its a gas saver at an additional (yet to be measured) cost in batteries and remotely so with some of the other IMA components. And at $3.49/ gal for regular gas the cost effective point is much closer than at the old $1.80/ gal. Personally I am watching this with renewed interest. :!:

I want my next hybrid to have a MIMA like control as a factory option, then I will be happy that I have done something ecologically meaningful, and will have possibly helped re-defing the HHI of future hybrids.
So where do we go from here Mr Moderator?
:wink:
Sounds like you need some patents on your design and endeavor to persevere in "selling" it to a manufacturer. But when your ready to come down back with us mere mortals riding around in our Insights I'd hope you'd continue with the battery upgrade options the _will_ help MIMA *SHINE*.
In conclusion,
As a moderator I'm merely trying to help _within the rules imposed on me here @ IC_. Of which I have extensively reflected upon and completely agree with their overall intent. The devil is in the details. :twisted:
I have received a reply from Benjamin (as have the other moderators) and at this time he's not indicated up or down on a MIMA forum.
So to start the thankless job of trying to make this work I'll lock this thread after your or several other replies on topic to *this* post. And since MIMA is a Modification and Technical issue will direct all future MIMA posts there. A "re-introduction" to MIMA post might be the place to start :?:
Each and every member can also do their part by replying to an out of place post with a link to the correct forum and post and then PM a moderator for a lock request (not all requests may be honored

)
Sincerely,
