大约在一年多以前,一群挪威的Tesla车主不满他们买到的Tesla Model S狂暴模式
不够快,于是向Tesla提出了集体诉讼。这些车主说他们的P85D马力根本没有Tesla
宣称的有691hp,这影响到了它的加速性能,所以联合了一百多位车主提出告诉。
经过了将近两年后,这些车主们与Tesla达成了和解。
Tesla的说法是他们在官网上宣称的0-100加速只需3.3秒甚至是被低估的,实际上
有第三方测得的数据是3.1秒。
这些车主不满的原因是Tesla官网写了P85D具备了前224hp、后467hp的马达动力
加起来有691hp,但实际上把车拉到马力机上面去测只有560hp左右
而Tesla对此的解释是马达动力必须考虑到电力系统的分配与电池的特性,并不能像
燃油引擎那样相加(这是真的,土豪哥Let's talk about cars yo有一集有提到)
这件事情的影响就是从此以后Tesla的官网都把马达动力规格都删掉了,只提加速成绩
所以现在在Tesla官网上都看不到他们用的马达动力有多少了。
这些提出告诉的车主们(总共有132位车主提告,但挪威有超过1200位车主,看来也是很多
车主们不认同他们提告)最后与Tesla达成和解,Tesla会提供每位车主相当于7700元美金
的现金或是让他们选择一些车辆的升级包,例如解锁狂暴模式、一组新的轮圈、
或是Tesla商店折扣。
Tesla真的还蛮大方的,就因为理解上的差异而不是车子瑕疵就对车主做出赔偿
有些传统车商制造的车真的有瑕疵被抓到了,也大都是只负责修车召回了事
很难看到车商会给车主金钱上的赔偿。
Tesla这次花钱了事了,不过也算是又再打了一次广告做公关
就算真实马力测得是560hp,一台接近两吨重的大型车0-100加速只需3.1秒也是很吓人的
更别说现在最新的P100D已经有人测得了2.4秒的夸张成绩

Tesla finally settles with disgruntled Model S P85D owners in Norway,
offers cash or upgrades
After almost two years, it looks like the disagreement between Tesla
Model S P85D owners in Norway and the electric automaker over the
representation of the power output of the vehicle is now officially over.
The issue moved from consumer protection agencies to the court and it has
now been resolved out of court after Tesla agreed to partly refund the
owners.
As we previously reported, the issue revolved around the way Tesla was
listing the power of its motors for the Model S P85D, which has two
motors. When first introducing the vehicle, Tesla was marketing the
vehicle as having a combined motor output of 691 hp (467 in the back and
224 in the front).
While those are indeed the correct outputs of each motor, the vehicle was
never able to achieve those numbers due to several other limitations than
only the combined potential output of the motors, like the battery.
Tesla claimed that they always made it clear that the numbers were for
the motors and not the vehicle itself, but some owners felt deceived.
Earlier this year, the Consumer Disputes Commission asked the automaker
to pay 50,000 Norwegian Krones (~$6,000 USD) to each Model S P85D owners.
Following the verdict, a Tesla spokesperson sent us the following
statement:
“Testing done by Tesla and independent third parties has demonstrated
that the Model S P85D’s acceleration and motor power numbers have always
been accurate, even understated. With respect to acceleration, Tesla
described the P85D as having a 0-100 kph time of 3.3 seconds, and Motor
Trend and others actually achieved a time of 3.1 seconds. Similarly, the
motor power numbers used by Tesla were legally required and confirmed as
accurate by European regulatory authorities. Based on this information,
the Consumer Council previously resolved these issues in Tesla’s favor.
Tesla will be reviewing the decision by the Consumer Disputes Commission
to better understand the conclusion that it reached.”
The company later disputed the decision and the matter was going to court
today, but a settlement was reached at the last minute yesterday,
according to local paper Dagens Naeringliv.
Owners were asking for 129,700 Norwegian Krones, which represent the
difference between the Model S 85D and the P85D at the time. The idea
being that those owners would have chosen the former if the power output
difference would have been more clearly defined. Under the terms of the
settlement, Tesla only offers 65,000 krones ($7,700 USD) to each owner or
the option to choose between several other packages, including a ‘
Ludicrous battery upgrade’, a new set of wheels, and Tesla store credits.
DN reports that “most of the 132 Tesla owners” who filed the suit have
agreed to the settlement – though there are about 1,200 Model S P85D
registered in Norway.
