If I was on that team, I would have picked this up during the first prototype usability tests.

Fill ups are such a pain. The nozzle shuts off long before the tank is full. So I have to hover the lever to keep the gas going. Also, the tank gas input (or what ever it's called, I'm IT so its an input) is so small I cant peek in and see if its full.

I also would have noticed the gas gauge doesn't work I build software systems for a living, and in software, testing is a high priority. And tests are done by people with different perspectives. Engineers, analysts, and everyday users test and provide feedback.


I get the impression Can Am designers ARE NOT riders. More like some urban Yuppie hipster college boy on his electric scooter.
