The US site:

  0-60 mph in 2.9
  510 hp / 741 Nm

The EU site:

  0-100 kmh in 3.1
  460 hp

So it looks like there are two versions.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I would take 500 mile range and 300 hp over this 500hp/300 mile range any day of the week.

I’m not going to agree or disagree with you because depending on the day I could enjoy both options.

One thing for people to try is an obd2 adapter ($20) and an app ($5) to see horsepower if it does not display on your car infotainment.

It is surprising how little you use of the claimed horsepower unless going uphill on a highway. I tracked the data for several drives and the numbers are low. 150-200 max for spirited driving. Getting to the fuel cutoff on my vehicle is difficult. I have tested it.

I’m not using sport+ brake torque launch control mode on at every stop sign, light I reach, or on many wide open highways though. My vehicle has none of those, it’s always in sports car mode.
