To smash their shiny new gauge?
$2400

Ouch, can you buy gauge insurance?

Makes you realize how marked up these machines are, $2500 buys you a top of the line 65" OLED TV, or a new display for your skidoo.

Hmmmm, a skidoo screen or 65“ porn monitor.
Decisions, decision…..

That’s just highway robbery

That’s insane, that screen is probably marked up 1000%. Simple led screen with Bluetooth lol, next to no real tech in it. I just bought a 4K 70” lg oled for $1000 on sale….. I’m thinking that trail tech gauge is a way better option

I retract my “dumb comment”. Sorry to bother you and piss in your cereal.

15000 screens doesn’t justify $2500… dumb comment.

TBH, I guess thats the difference between 15,000 screens being made compared to 150,000 tvs being made.

your gonna put a 65 inch screen on your machine, ha ha!!

More then $2500 as wasn’t it $1800 or something like that to get the option in the first place ?
Will machine run without the gauge is the question if it gets smashed or moisture in it ?

This is a dumb comment. If you have ever been in a manufacturing process you would know the cost of building a single part.

You think this is a specialized 1 off part…. Just like every other skidoo part on a sled.

There is no profit in that business model

 

[snochuk]

All right that's enough, there will be no mocking skidoo or its parts that don't really do much other than cost a ridiculous price.

I was told 1000 more. Not worth it in my opinion but mostly cause you need a battery. Defeats the point of the shot system.

Yeh I can’t remember and didn’t take it either due to possible issues and replacement costs .
Thought it was costly for something that needed your phone to operate as well .

I can guarantee it doesn’t cost $2000+ to manufacture, it’s a $200 cost that’s marked up 1000% give or take a few hundred, if they have it as an add on at $1000 when buying the sled it’s less than half that to manufacture. Fan boys getting but hurt…… are you French? Do you work in the fisher price factory in Quebec?

The price isn't really out of line compared to other products when you consider what you're getting. A custom made, relatively low production display running proprietary software and designed to function in extreme environments. We are just not used to that sort of cost for this application and something that is at a such high risk of damage. Is it really necessary?
In my line of work, we used to use Allen Bradley UI's. Yes, industrial controls, but a ~12" display with the resolution and computing power reminiscent the 90's still costs $10k+. Customers complained, so we switched to Dell rugged extreme tablets and they still run around the $4k mark.
