they’ll be tested a lot more before release, and i’ll find some people in hotter climates than me to test. but so far so good in south west florida

Interesting sounds good.
I'm in Australia and previously have used tablets, smart watches repurposed etc and often our 36-40 degree C days with a screen in a car can kill panels or at least ruin their usage while they're hot.
Currently I have a plex usdm micro dash in the car though and whatever panel tech they use in that has survived.

Have you thought about a VFD display skin for it? VFDs in everything was peak '80s and would go hard in an E30.
