No 'different certification' will tell anything more than current system, rather less.
Maximum power is a curve dependent on current SOC, current speed and current temperature of battery/inverter/motor.
No single number can describe that curve in a meaningful way. Stating the maximum number this curves attains at some circumstances is at least correct at exact those circumstances.
We start to near the torque/power debate.
Yes, and during this curve, which dynamically changes due to current SOC, never truly touches over 400HP according to this dyno chart. With this known, how can Tesla advertise 691HP if this curve never comes close to outputting 691HP? Any other vehicle advertised with X amount of HP can put it down to all wheels, minus drive train loss. Please let me know how this car can be marketed at 691HP, even taking the SOC power loss out of the equation?

Exactly. The OP keeps focusing on the fact that his Corvette will put out the same HP no matter how full his gas tank is but fails to recognize that his ICE cars won't even go into legitimate launch mode until they are fully warmed up (at least not without damaging the engine), are quite susceptible to altitude changes and weather conditions. EVs have none of these limitations.
Launch mode while being warmed up? Let's stay on topic here, that is irrelevant to the discussion. We are specifically talking about power output based on current fuel/electricity levels and how motors are rated for horsepower (and marketed)
