You're missing the entire point.

The point is, we think they made a wrong decision by making the speedometer read this much below actual speed. There's no law anywhere that requires that, and modern manufacturing doesn't require the tolerence to be that high to keep the car within international laws either. No one here is even suggesting hacking into the computer to fix it.
