You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. I own a P85D. I had already ordered a P85+ and upgraded it to the P85D for a significant amount of extra money. I did this based purely on trusting the data provided by Tesla in the announcement, the most important of which to me was the 691hp number. I would not have spent the extra money for a totally irrelevant increase in 0-100km/h speed. I spent it because I expected the car to at least match the 510hp Jag it replaced when accelerating at higher speeds. I find this to be a reasonable expectation if the car actually delivered anything close to 691hp. But it does nothing of the sort, and now it seems it never will.
The only reason I’m not making much more of a hassle of this is because I like the car a lot anyway. But I would have been equally happy with an 85D because the P85D doesn’t deliver anything remotely worth the difference in price. And I strongly feel that Tesla violated my trust by making me think this would be different.
I still think the Model S is a great car, and I am still likely to buy another after this one. I will never make the mistake of trusting any performance numbers given by them, though, and I will advise anyone I talk to to do the same.
