I miss the old days when everything for me was black and white. Law school really polluted the engineering degree
I came to this thread thinking my European friends were nuts. How could you possibly complain about the performance of the P85D being sub-par? My car, as delivered, beat the advertised 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. You people are just nuts.
Then I listened.
I came to appreciate relying on Tesla's representations when buying the car for the first time. I came to believe that the roll out concept may not exist on the other side of the pond. Most importantly, I came to respect and trust the honesty exuded by some of those European posters. I have been equally embarrassed by other posters from the US that use intellect in an attempt to chase away opposing positions.
It is also clear to me that intelligence has nothing to do with empathy given some of the well thought out and well written arguments in this thread that completely ignore the concept that others do not see things through one set of eyes.
Lastly,
it is more than clear that Tesla did one of their pricing slight of hands on the performance specs of the P85D. Point to all the justifications in the world but it is what it is. There is no way to see this from another angle like there is the roll out issue. Tesla simply played fast and loose with the facts to achieve a goal.
What this means to me is I have a little less trust for management which continues a slow erosion process (details on request). Tesla, in total, is still much better than any other car company IMO. Their overall approach to sales and customer service more than makes up for shenanigans in marketing and business. I just can not make it to WK's position just yet and still enjoy my interactions with the company and especially the local personnel.
Yep, gone are the days of black and white for me.
