I’m shocked, but not surprised, at how tone deaf this response is. IMO Ratcliffe’s KISS vehicle has been co-opted by others who obviously believe they are smarter than him. Typical corporate managers.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you very much for contacting INEOS Automotive.
I completely understand your perspective on finding the speed limit sound annoying and unnecessary. However, it was a decision made by our engineers to prioritize the safety of our clients. I will certainly forward your comments and opinions to the team. While I understand your concerns, I want to clarify that at the moment, there are no plans to remove or add a software update to modify this feature.
I will send you a set of instructions to manually turn off the safety feature if you don't already have them. However, please remember that this will need to be done every time you turn on the vehicle. It's also important to note that turning off and using the vehicle without this safety feature activated is not recommended.
I hope you understand the reasoning behind the engineer's and team's decision, but please know that your feedback has been received, read, and taken into consideration.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further assistance.
Thanks,
Jackson
INEOS Grenadier Customer Service
The basic questions of product engineering:
“Is this component:
1. required by law/code
2. necessary for final function.
If these two are a “No”, then the final questions are:
3. is the customer needing/wanting it?
4. Is the customer willing to pay for it?”
I would surmise that 1, 2 and 3 are a no. It’s unfortunate no one has a say in #4.
