A good argument that they should have originally introduced supercharging as a 85kWh-only feature to set conservative expectations initially.
Exactly, except for the expectation part. Our expectations came from Tesla, and as far as I've seen, they've lived up to all of them....except the 160. This tells me that Tesla didn't need to temper our expectations because they were able to deliver the goods all along, they only needed to be honest in what they said.
They haven't just disappointed reservation holders aiming for the 160, they've turned them off. I wouldn't be pissed off at if I had known this when Tesla knew this. Instead, they mixed their $49k Model S with their quick charge time, mixed $49k with 0-60 times. That's misleading, and I don't appreciate it.
I'm not sure when it became acceptable for a company to obscure the facts and mislead people, but it's not to me.
