“When Mr. Schmitt moves to Forbes he may want to consider casting more light on the missing horsepower issue Tesla has been sweeping under the rug for some time. It’s coming to light a little bit in Denmark and Norway, but no one in the US seems to be paying much attention.
Tesla marketed their flagship P85D as having 691 horsepower, and every publication wrote about the car as if it really did. Owners determined the car was about 150 horsepower short of that. Eventually Tesla changed the specifications on their website, which was an acknowledgement that they had misled people. But except for whatever deals Tesla may be cutting with individual customers, they have done nothing for the average customer to make up for this deception.
There’s a story there. Someone should tell it.”
