    Yes, because speedometers never broke or got misaligned in the history of automobiles, ever. Only once we started using LCDs did this occur…

      They broke. But they could be replaced for some bucks for some dude who just did it in 5 minutes. Nowadays…see my post above. Also took a fucking week.

      Oldschool speedometers occasionally have their issues too sure, but they didn’t outright slide off the screen…

      I replaced the gauge cluster in one of my cars due to this. Cost me basically nothing beside a trip to the junkyard. I wonder how these new giant LCD panels are like to replace as an owner.

        It should be very easy to replace it (but i have no expirience specifically with cars, so idk if they make it harder than it should be)

        pretty sure the materials costs are dirt cheap, as we see how cheap displays are these days. The cost is going to be how much the service center is going to upcharge you.
