Communities like OpenDBC, you may still have a car that is not adequately decoded — meaning installing an AutoPi would yield limited or potentially even no data directly from the car (although the device itself always provides some data, as long as it has power). This could impact rewards and functionality.Drivers who have a car that is eligible for an AutoPi can check in their account and pre-order from shop.dimo.zone.Roadmap: More connections to comeWe’re planning to roll out other connection methods for vehicles in 2022. A few on our roadmap are for Q1 are:Dedicated Tesla API Integration: This will give Tesla owners more detail about their vehicle than they get with Smartcar alone. Also, since the Tesla API provides so much data relative to any other automakers, Teslas will not need hardware to earn more rewards.Comma.ai Integration: A special Comma.ai integration that will allow people running comma.ai to stream their data to DIMO.Geography: Rolling out slowly to scale properlyOne other variable that may affect how you can connect is where you’re located. There are various technical requirements for data transmission, verification, and storage depending on where a particular vehicle is located. There are also different vehicles and integrations required to stream data from vehicles in different regions.DIMO will be starting with cars in the US and Canada, and then moving to expand to other regions.Regardless of where you are in the world, we encourage you to register an account and add your car to indicate interest and make sure you’re aware of when we can support your vehicle. You can also join our dedicated international support channel in discordRewards and CompatibilityWe have detailed in our documentation how tokens are issued, but it’s worth adding a bit of detail here. Much the same way that Helium rewards vary based on your location, the location of nearby hotspots, and installation factors like your antenna size and placement, DIMO rewards will vary based on a set of factors.There are two large categories of variables that will affect your rewards:Connection methodDemand variables, set by the “demand signal”Connection MethodAs mentioned above, different connection methods provide different depths of data. Think about the difference between SMS and LTE. Both allow you to send text messages, but one lets you stream video — the other doesn’t. More data is always better, so using a connection method that provides more data is always going to earn a driver more rewards.Demand Signal: The value of your data will change dynamicallyRight now, DIMO is setting aside token rewards out of the initial token issuance for users — and the DAO will help to create the initial demand for that data. More importantly, DIMO is a market-based system, so we’re going
