On the other hand, just seeing the headline I can't say I found it hard to believe - among the major car manufacturers, Tesla seems particularly prone to tweaking the performance numbers they put out. 0-60 figures measured from a rolling start instead of dead stop (that no one seems to be able to reproduce either way), hp figures that are a "peak system power" calculated by adding things up in weird ways and which can't be sustained for any length of time, range figures no one hits in the real world, ... they're very aggressive at this, and it'd be a mistake to think everyone does it this way - for example professional testers regularly exceed 0-60 figures Porsche releases officially.

I've seen a fair amount of professional testers/journalists reprimand them along the lines of "every manufacturer is guilty of this to some extent, but Tesla really ought to tone it down" (e.g. Alexander Bloch, who is generally very positive on the brand). As EV tech is commodifying swiftly and the competition closing in, I expect this to become a larger discussion.
