And here's where I have a problem. Tesla knows about this thread, and the concern. I heard so explicitly from Ted at Connect.Here's how I see it. We all believe Tesla has read these threads, as we all believe Tesla removed the 691 HP number from their website. If they wanted to goodwill this for us, great - I don't think anyone would complain. The fact is - Tesla most likely knows about the issue. If all of the information people have written on here was wrong, I believe someone from Tesla would have simply come out by now and said, "This is how we calculated the 691 number, etc etc." and this would all be a moot point.
I haven't seen that happen yet. That leads me to believe someone screwed up somewhere and I have to agree with all the folks wanting it corrected in some way.
Yet they let this sit, hoping it will blow over. And I think that's both shortsighted and erodes trust with the company.
Anybody can write a "look at our cool stuff coming out" blog post. I takes more than that to man up when you make a misstep, and correct the record clearly and publicly. Tesla has avoided doing that on a number of occasions. A pack supercharging and P85D horsepower are two cases that come to mind immediately.
"But but the shareholders...." I don't care if the shareholders (including myself) are upset at a potentially temporary blip down because "OMG Tesla admitted to not being perfect". The stock blips every day from all kinds of things. This is about the long run -- about Tesla and EV credibility.
