It seems that this speedometer runs at 20-25 fps which is obviously much better than 1-2 fps speedometers for many other car manufacturers. I think some manufacturers think that the speedometer is hard to read if the numbers change fast but you can easily keep the numbers readable with fast enough display (you need maybe 20 ms pixel response time or less for a crisp 25 fps display so that's should be easily doable even in cold temperatures with a good LCD and obviously OLED would be always fast enough). I find slow speedometer response hard to use even for normal passanger cars if you try to accurately match the highest allowed speed on road. I think using tabular font for the numbers would have been even better. For example, when speed went from 172 to 171 the number 7 shifted a bit towards to right because "2" was taking more space than "1". Some fonts have very nice numbers with regular widths and do not require such shifts. And I loved the tachometer implementation even more here.
