This was total BS. The important metric is performance, they quoted a 0-100 km/h of 3.3 seconds, P85D owners actually got 3.1 seconds. The 691hp figure is adding both the front and rear motors together. They did the same thing in the US and no one complained.

Anyway, problem solved--Tesla is no longer stating any horsepower figures on any of their cars... just the 0-100/0-60, which is the metric that actually matters.
