@essmd Well, we have come to know how much we can believe Tesla's statements on controversial topics.
We simply can not take them at face value.
The AP publicity vs. reality has been much discussed. P85D HP of course too. And then there is the P85DL, P90DL and P100D power limiters thread where Tesla promised to remove the limits and make things right... and then instead went onto limit all cars. Yes. (Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits)
It has gotten to the point that people on TMC actually ridicule other people for "not doing their research" if they have taken Tesla at their word and believed Tesla.
Fully agree, being highly allergic to BS and non-transparency, been an owner since July, being fairly automotive and tech savvy, and a marginally active forum participant here and elsewhere...
I am just as much a critic of Tesla as I am a fan, probably more of a cynic yet I continue to choose to own one, despite being given an opportunity to walk away from it.
For me my Tesla is more than a vehicle of transportation, more of a Automotive/Tech journey into the next phase of car ownership.
For fun, here is my other vehicle, which has no A/C, computer, etc...
