The other area where I feel as if Tesla is still misleading is how long this power is actually good for. They don't clearly state how long this power is good for, and they still don't state it.
I've never once seen advertisements/listings for gas cars talk about the narrow rpm range in which horsepower is at maximum, either. No gas car sees maximum horsepower applied when an engine is at 1000 rpm. It seems like industry standard that it's up to the customer to know that ICEs, diesel, hybrid powertrains, and fully electrified powertrains all behave differently from one another.
An educated buyer would realize that 691 "real" horsepower in an EV is going to behave extremely different than 691 of horsepower in an ICE or a diesel engine. For example, the fact that electrified drivetrains have significantly enhanced acceleration at low speeds versus ICEs. I don't see ICE buyers complain about how their acceleration is worse than EVs of similar horsepower at low speeds--why are EV buyers, in this case, less educated than ICE buyers? By the logic of these few owners, semis are the fastest acceleration vehicles on the planet because they have the greatest horsepower to weight measurement of any vehicle out there.
Companies cannot hold a consumer's hand through everything--if so, every product in a grocery store would come with an agreement hundreds of pages long so that you can know every single aspect of the product, should it ever come up. It's no different than someone who buys an LTE-enabled smartphone, and expects LTE wavelengths to penetrate as far inside buildings the EVDO wavelengths. "But I thought LTE was better in every single way than 3g!"--sorry, customer, that extremely technical but tiny detail that rarely matters because wifi is ubiquitous indoors for data use wasn't covered, and we aren't going to compensate you for your ignorance of the technology in this matter.
The owners are definitely wrong in this matter. All P85Ds hit advertised performance speeds in the manner Tesla tested it. All P85Ds have the necessary horsepower on their motors, even if the two separate motors hit max power at different parts of the acceleration curve (welcome to EVs!). Tesla advertised properly; a few ignorant owners did not do their research properly. It's not Tesla's fault nor do they owe these owners a single dime.
