My feelings as well. I'm on the fence about purchasing one. I've taken a test drive, and experienced the speed limit clicking. It is annoying, and possibly a small annoyance for a great vehicle. But as with Jackattack13, it just bugs me that that this isn't what they promised. I can understand that they're forced into it in Europe, but forcing it on US customers makes no sense and is probably more annoying than the clicking itself.
But then maybe this isn't the company we thought it was? They seem to have embraced nanny tech and are hell bent on pushing it on everyone. What other features and safety concerns are they going to have? Maybe they'll back out of full online manuals? After all, people may make unsafe changes to their vehicles. All maintenance and repairs should probably be required to go through INEOS dealers, no sense it putting customers at risk with third party repairs. Certainly not going to tell anyone about their CAN-bus data, then unscrupulous scanners could disable ADAS and make the vehicles unsafe and unfit for purpose. INEOS will probably charge triple for their spare parts too, need to cover all the safety inspections.
It's depressing really, to have a great vehicle saddled, and eventually taken down, by poor management. I may just upgrade from my JKU to a new JL. At least I can configure it the way I want, parts and mods are inexpensive, working on it myself is easy with readily available information, and I don't have to drive two hours to the dealer... who as it happens also sells Maseratis, so I can imagine what that's going to cost me.
FYI, I emailed customer support a few days ago, as my dealer still says a fix is forthcoming, but all communication from INEOS says no. Anyway, they confirmed, yet again, that there is no planned update to this functionality. Still, everyone should email them.
