I quite enjoy reading TMC threads. Highlights for me are threads in which the experts in their field contribute their thoughts and experiences.
This morning I came across one of my highlight threads
Dragtime P90D Ludicrous 0-60mph and 0-100mph video
There was some interesting discussion between few experienced race car drivers that was capturing my interest when suddenly there is a post like this:
P90DL is not yet meeting the Tesla specs
That post derailed the discussion down the thread and interjected Tesla Motors related customer complaint issue in the thread discussion.
The HP customer complaint issue has been discussed in few threads on the TMC. Repeating the complaint with no restraints on the forum, especially if it is interjected into TMC prime real estate, where race car drivers talk about their car experiences, devalues the forum experience for me.
It is not my place to say what might be a reasonable limit for rehashing the Tesla Motors related complaint on the TMC forum but I am pretty sure that 'infinite' is not a reasonable limit for repeating the same argument to the same audience. It is especially unfortunate when the repetitive complaining rains on a happy TMC member parade. At some point, it may be more constructive and to everyone's benefit to move the issue where it belongs, to Tesla Motors.
There are other instances of posters repeating the same argument over and over, eroding the forum value for others. It might be helpful to have a 'Dog with a bone' thread or 'Dead horse' thread to deal with these polite but repetitive arguments. Or some other creative way of imposing a reasonable limit on unreasonable repetition.
This is my individual feedback on the TMC experience. Others may agree or disagree.

So it sounds like both of you are saying that as many of us feared, the P90D with Ludicrous is not yet meeting the specs Tesla promised. (In other threads some had guessed it wouldn't because the kW didn't seem to be high enough to generate the required HP.)
