Speedometer / odometer

[Mike1424]

I have KO2 tires on the Grenadier. The speedometer is off 4-5%, and I find this unacceptable. I say confidently off because I have 2 gps off cell towers and 1 satellite gps - all three come up the same speed except Ineos OEM speedometer. The dealership originally told me they and Ineos are aware of the problem. I took my vehicle to the dealership and now I’m told it’s 100% accurate. I have been driving cars for almost 40yrs and know the different between 80mph and 75mph. I plan to do a miler marker test this week. I am disappointed because it’s a lack of attention to detail and an unwillingness for Ineos to fix. Plus when the vehicle gets to 100k miles it only really have 95k miles- or so I suspect.

Also annoyed the door handle buttons stick but defects to happen and this Ineos is going to fix.

99% of car speedos read higher than the true speed.
Most countries have similar laws to here in Australia, which state a speedo can never read less than the true speed.
This is to stop people speeding when not intended and taking legal action against the manufacturer.
Typically a speedo will read 4-6% higher than true speed.

My speedometer over reads, as is typical, but the odometer is amazingly accurate. (The “optimistic” speedometer, coupled with the ADAS Overspeed Warning, does make for a noisy experience when driving at the actual speed limit.)

Nearly every vehicle on the road reads high, it's a safety factor

If you drive Euro vehicles from 1970s on , you know it reads high.
If you're new to Euro vehicles, it's a surprise. Like indicator stalks on the "wrong" side if you've always driven non Euro setups.

See if you lived in Australia........the land of the free........from stupid speed warnings you could just turn it off or change the settings to anywhere between 10 kmh and 150 kmh.

In most of the world speedos must be between 100% and 110%, so normally set at 105%.
In north America the laws are 95% to 105%, so normally set at 100%..
