Brand New 2023 Spyder here, my clock including the Chrono digital clock keeps losing time even though I set it to the correct time and time zone and for DST. Has anyone run into this before and can offer some advice ?

Similar thing happened to me. I turned the DST off and all is well...

Every car I've ever owned is inaccurate at keeping time. Doesn't matter what model or how new it is or how old it is. I know BMW's go out of sync by atleast 4 minutes a year, maybe more.

Really? seems like an odd fix. My `22 CGTS gets off a minute or two, and my friend's `21 CGTS gets off a lot. We'll have to try this.

I'm surprised the clock doesn't sync with GPS automatically.

You guys are going so fast, time is almost standing still.

Inevitable. Cherish the present and make the most of every day.

The only thing I can think of is you're not driving the car enough to sufficiently charge the battery and so the voltage may be too low, thus causing some weird electrical gremlins to show such as clock losing time. My clock is fine with DST and I have it attached to a batter maintainer.

In my BMW, I knew when it was time to replace the battery when weird electrical gremlins started showing itself.

Some questions.
1. Are you driving it short distances such as less than 5 miles each trip?
2. Did you just get the car and maybe the car was sitting at port for a long time waiting for transport? If the car has been sitting at port and then sitting on a ship, that's a long time of slow battery drain and then if you're not driving it much now, your battery might not be getting a full charge.
3. Do you have it hooked up to a battery maintainer?
4. After you start the car, what does the voltage reading show? Mine shows about 14.7 give or take .1 or .2 every now and again.

It does if you have navigation and select this in the MFD Settings menu:
