FWIW: '04 Cali EVT Speedo Accuracy.

I found a speedo app for my new phone which has GPS. Seems that the speedo reads 2mph faster than the GPS. I checked it on the freeway, so it was mostly straight stretches of road.
I wanted to add that the rear tire has about 300 miles on it, so it's almost new.
Now the scary part, crimeney, didn't know I was actually doing almost 80mph when the speedo showed 80!!! Thought it was much less

wow, I am pretty certain my EV is doing about 65 when the speedo says 80.
I have a dozen witnesses from Cedar Vale to back me up.

On one of the multiple occasions that I disassembled the one in my 2004 to repair the odometer, I calibrated it. It has a bit of non-linearity to it though, so it is perfect at around 65MPH, but around 40MPH it displays closer to 39.
And when I tested it on a closed course
, around 85MPH displays around 86.
