Perf gets higher top speed, RWD more range, but no love for AWD???

So you want them to lie to you too -- not just the P. Fine your car just improved too by .2 of a second with rollout.

Well, they wouldn't be lying to me if whatever variable they are using to measure is consistent between all models and it is clearly stated. One can debate whether 1 ft rollout is a proper way to list accel times for a product but as long as it's up front to the customer that they're all tested the same way then it doesn't matter to me what the number is. The point is being able to fairly judge between them and not see artificial gaps in performance because of scummy marketing tactics.

Tesla needs to provide more unlocks to access the latent torque, amirite?

Sure, but not before they unlock the heated steering wheel, right?

I agree that these are scummy marketing tactics. Just don't feel bad about your AWD not getting some phantom increase that the P3D never got.

That’s 80% of the Tesla customer base. It’s amazing.

Seriously, I've never seen such an entitled bunch of babies with a complete lack of understanding of 1. their product, 2. the automotive marketplate, and 3. technology. Lordy.
