Monthly recap of DIMO Network growth with a focus on stats and data from the project
There are two metrics we're featuring this month: Connected Miles and the Odometer Leaderboard.
Since launching vehicle connectivity a few months ago, drivers have logged over 10 million Connected Miles with DIMO. It's a testament to our growing community and one passionate about their cars.
Amongst the thousands of vehicles connected, we've started tracking the first of many leaderboards (to be public soon). The Odometer Leaderboard below shows the car with the most miles from each OEM. Out in front is a BMW with 271,675 miles.

- Glovebox: Store your critical vehicle documents — Title, Registration, Insurance, Service Records, etc. — in one place.
- Open Vehicle ID Beta: Create the digital ID for your vehicle.

Open Vehicle ID Beta
While still in Beta, the Open Vehicle ID is a huge step forward for DIMO and it will eventually become one of the critical building blocks for the entire DIMO ecosystem. For the more technically inclined, you can check out the contract, or visit OpenSea to see the collection of user vehicles.
