With a group buy , the price could go down much lower, if the price was in the 300s for a group buy there might be interest.

If this draws battery power I don't know how many will go for that. Our cars are already finicky on electrical issues

I have the Renntech version in mine. No power issues at all, even after a few days of sitting. It's super easy to use
