This thread is really sad--it's like a train wreck shown repeatedly on the tv news channels. You've seen and heard it all numerous times, yet you can't look away, and you continue to watch--thinking maybe the final outcome will be different.
It's sad because everyone is really on the same team, the electric vehicle team--the mission (secret plan) is to get off of fossil-fueled vehicles and transition to a solar electric economy.
It's sad that after 1000 posts no common ground could be established in the light of changing and possibly confusing hp numbers and data (confusing for everyone except those supersmart fellows from Penn... just kidding P&V)
It's sad because it dilutes the signal-to-noise ratio of this site and makes it worth less.
Seems to me that if you desire an honest technical assessment of any issue, then you gotta check your motives (wallet) at the door--if you have skin in the game with TSLA stock and you are fighting to prevent any sort of 'bad' news leaking to the public, dwell your bias is poking out. And if you bought a P85D and paid a lot of extra money for stuff you didn't get, and you want a free car out of the deal, well then your bias is hanging out too. Don't be that guy--blinded by bias.
Any belief or position should be able to withstand and even welcome an honest and positive constructive criticism, but let's get off this trainwreck and join Lola--he said he's buying the first round, stay thirsty my friend.
The one funny thing of this mess was learning that ERM bought his first McLaren F1 when he was 28, and wrecked it before he was 30. We've all been there, done that in different ways--hey y'all watch this...i thought it was just a southern thang.
