It would seem as though some of the latest battery power numbers (500 kW ???) are getting closer. Perhaps the original advertising was another of Elon's I may not do it when I said I would but I do end up getting it done deals (his description not mine).
I don't think Elon is responsible for every last bit on their webpage. You can't sell a product with a spec from a future product, anywhere. They're not only risking future legal action but destroying the Tesla brand.

Open request:
"Tesla (and Elon), the car is good enough to stand on its own merits. Stick to real world numbers that mere mortal owners can meet or exceed with ease with the car they take delivery of and at the time they take delivery. We loved you for it when my P85 Sig was delivered, and you've gone a different route with D shenanigans and it's only doing harm to the EV cause, Tesla brand, and customer trust."

With the max seen now of 512KW, we're only 3KW away from 691 hp at the battery. The total loss from battery to wheels as about 22% which is inline with ICE AWD drive cars from drive shaft to wheels. So it looks like Tesla has just about finally produced the originally promised 691 hp PD car.
... except of course that 691 was the number for P85D not P90D. The P90D number was over 700 "if you use the same addition math that...." car magazines are still doing and Tesla is seemingly happy letting them continue to say.
Have we seen any P85D exhibit numbers near 512kW?
Most likely 90% due to the forex-rate towards the USD making the cars absurdly more expensive since launch. An ok equipped 90D costs quite a lot more these days than I paid for my P85D.. ... A P90D now is almost 50% more than I paid...
It used to be "cheap" , but now it isnt anymore... I dont expect this to change anytime soon either as the Norwegian Krone is very weak at the moment tied closely to the oil-price.

Was there also something about tax breaks that drove a huge spike in deliveries or was that another country?

not quite so bad in the UK but my fully loaded 85D was GBP80K and now GBP95K (90D equiv) and a P90D is well over the psychological 100K mark now.
Looks like Tesla settled with owners in Norway and they are getting compensated.
65000NOK ~ $7677 or a performance upgrade, tires or store credits.

Now how are you going to know to wake me, with your head in the sand?
Like I said, wake me when something happens in the U.S.
Never mind, you're probably right to maintain your position, as nothing is likely to happen with regard to this in the U.S. anyway.
