Not sure why I shouldn't expect more? How is it entilist when I purchased the car and expect the speedometer to be correct? I guess we just think different.
You mean expecting more from a car company is irrelevant to you. It's not to me.
You're missing his point. And again, you are being insulting while doing it.
Expect whatever you want. I’m saying the implication that you expect more than the rest of us is elitist.
No, it has nothing to do with you or me. I’m saying it’s irrelevant to the law and *what actually exists across car companies*, which is what I was outlining above.
You mean overreport?
Sure. I have COVID at the moment, so my brain weighs 1000 lbs. Apologies for any oversight.
Hope you feel better soon! For me, COVID didn't feel as bad as some other viruses, but it's just... "annoying," if that makes sense. It probably doesn't.
It is my understanding that in Germany car companies are penalized if their speedometers read slower than they are actually driving. So...required in some locations and a good idea to reduce law suit risks in others.
According to "Regulation No 39 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ ECE)" point 5.3., the speed indicated on the speedometer must be following 0 ≤ (V1 - V2) ≤ 0.1V2 + 4 km/h, where V1 is the speed displayed and V2 is the actual speed.
Right? I always used to say "COVID is over" from mid-2023 (I meant on a large scale), but there are still some isolated cases. Apparently there's been an early June spike, so hopefully this passes over.
It’s not just you. It was one long shared trauma for most of the world. Screws with your sense of time.
It was horrible for me (and other students), since I had to "miss out" on the elementary-middle school transition. I never really fully recovered from that until mid-2023. On the bright side, another pandemic won't happen until the year 2120
(for some reason, close to every 100 years something like this happens.. the Spanish flu, COVID, etc)
You can use Waze. It’s not perfect, but close enough. You can also use any other external GPS. I measured it with my radar detector.It was horrible for me (and other students), since I had to "miss out" on the elementary-middle school transition.

But back on topic, how do I measure the speedometer/real speed difference? I would think to use Waze, but something tells me it wouldn't be 100 percent accurate.
Definitely not just you. It felt like forever when it was happening. A friend of mine calls those years the black hole.
Tom Moloughney ran his 70 mph range test with 72 on the speedometer since that gave him 70 mph using the GPS on his phone.Ok, so I have to ask... for the EPA ratings when they state 70 MPH for the testing, is it an ACTUAL 70 MPH or a Lucid Speedometer 70 MPH (which would really be 68 MPH)? Are we all reporting our speedometer MPH or actual MPH when we give out our stats for efficiency, etc?
Inquiring minds want to know.
P.S. Borski - I hope you are feeling better soon.
I'm quite certain that the EPA would use actual speeds.Ok, so I have to ask... for the EPA ratings when they state 70 MPH for the testing, is it an ACTUAL 70 MPH or a Lucid Speedometer 70 MPH (which would really be 68 MPH)?

I would bet many dollars on the same.
WHAT so I'm the only person in the world who expect their speedometer to read correctly? Somehow that makes me elitist. Yea right.
Okay. The speedometer is “wrong.” Certainly no chance you might be.
