I noticed on the Tesla web site that the Roadster is rated at 302 hp. My owner's manual (2010) lists hp at 248. Torque is unchanged at 273 ft-lbs. I'm guessing that the actual horsepower has not changed, just perhaps the way it's measured? Or was there a horsepower increase from model 2.0 to 2.5?
Are you looking at Sport?

now shows 302hp for the base model and 299hp for the Sport model.
It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Isn't it more proper to finally switch to kW instead of HP when discussing EVs ? Nissan rates the Leaf at 80kW, not 109hp for example.
Yes, it is.
And while we're at it, torque is measured in Newton Meters! Not in pound-feet.... The Model S for example has 400 or 600Nm of torque, that's not a coïncidence for being a nice round number.
As far as I know the Roadster base model has 200kW of power max output, that's 700A of power.
The sport has 900A of power at max, don't know how many kW's.
