I have been too lazy to check but does the off speed translate to a corresponding error in distance travelled also? If you travelled 1 hour at 80 mph would you have only gone 77 miles?
My 2 American cars (Bronco and Model 3) are dead on accurate as well.

On the 992, it’s always less. Car showing 80, but gps showing 78. My buddy’s 992 turbo is dead on accurate 🤷🏿.

I appreciate that it does that. Gives you a small additional margin to avoid speeding tickets.

So, doesn’t that effectively reduce the warranty period by the error rate in the mileage? Not huge, but over a large amount of vehicles, it could be a significant savings for Porsche.

I am sure most 911 reach the warranty time limit well before the mileage limit anyhow
