Again, how is a potential customer supposed to know that he must read the Green Car Reports article before making a purchase on Tesla's website? And why should he? I don't care if David Nolan really knew (I'm not the one claiming "nobody knew", so let's just say he did know), because it's completely irrelevant to people ordering the car.
And I don't care how, if or what any customers knew - because it is completely irrelevant to the question of whether there were any malicious intent from Tesla to defraud customers by manipulating them into buying performance upgrade and not giving them what they paid for. This is what this and some other threads where prominently displaying as a foregone conclusion for months. It is evident that none of these foregone conclusions have any basis. And this is the reason I started to post on the related threads about one month ago.
I never claimed that communications from Tesla were what they should've been and have no intention of debating this as it is obvious.

So I should know the content of that blog post when I did order my car in October last year? And where in that blog post is the proof?
I have contacted Unece that have the ECE R85 standard, Type Approval standards and some testing laboratories. So we can get an answer and stop speculating how it should be tested and how the power figures can be published.
Do not put words in my mouth. I said nothing of this sort. For quite some time there was point made that "nobody knew", all the while other members of TMC were posting link to the David Nolan article...
I think that it is time to stop propping this myth - because it is just not true.
