Might have been a loose sneaky reference to the top gear tesla roadster review controversy where they faked the review because of shell sponsoring them
@@Anothy No, the new Model S and Model X have a Plaid mode (The only thing beyond Ludicrous is Plaid). The Roadster is in a class of its own, it has a SpaceX mode with cold gas thrusters.
The biggest selling point for a Tesla and one of the main reasons I bought it is for its safety rating… because the heavy battery packs are at the bottom it is almost impossible to roll… because it has no engine it has a huge crumple zone that absorbs energy from head on collisions… the airbags completely encase the driver keeping them from being thrown around..
5 месяцев назад
That battery pack can’t outlast an engine though. A massive drawback of owning the vehicle unfortunately
would you park your 160k car in a tight spot between 2 other cars though? If I spend so much money on it I would park it in the emptiest space around, even if that mean I'd have to walk for 5km xd

@@mikehendry34 yeah i love this misnomer. The safest place is the closest parking spot to the doors. The most dangerous is the back 9f the parking lot and is only amplified if there arent any cars in the space next to the car left, right, and behind. As this is the most common vehicle to be vandalized and stolen.
The only thing about Tesla cars I don’t like is that they are expensive, some of them have got and finish issues, and a lot of people that drove them where I live drive like they are better then everyone else. Other than that, they look fantastic.
I feel like Jeremy's closing statement for the BAC Mono review applies nicely to this as well: "In many ways, then, this is a bit like an iPad because that's not cheap either and you certainly don't need one. But you want one because it's such a lovely... thing."

I've supercharged it twice since i got it. both charges were about 60% of battery and cost about $10 each, which was nice considering gas is $6+ here in Cali. Not one ounce of buyer's remorse. Performance package look is beefy and stance is sick. 21 inch tires really make it stand out. Comfortable ride, low center of gravity and AWD allows it to eat up corners. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Auto pilot is amazing which comes standard. 10 times safer than a human driving. I didn't get the full self driving package, as that is still being vetted out. but i can purchase it whenever i want with one push of a button on my cell phone. :) This car is like driving a car 10 years in the future. it will be very difficult to go back to any other car after a week of driving this Jetson mobile.

What was that? 😂😂😂
I like seeing Clarkson giving an honest review about Tesla but I miss the Top Gear days where they would test it to the limits, see if it crashes into walls or scraped along the curb rather than testing summon vehicle in a straight line.
They scripted a Top Gear episode to make electric cars look shit. Dont think so
@@bidenliccsmen3611 I feel like I should say this, Tesla and Amazon are owned by different companies 😂
I dont know what ur point is
For Top Gear, they usually purchased the car. TGT had them borrowing cars as opposed to buying them.
He should give up . After that video he made trashing Tesla all we can visualize is Elon's tears
He got sued by tesla once
Jeremy Clarkson is my favorite automotive critic ever. And this video shows why I started appreciating his work. He is stubborn, but brilliant.
his genius is inhuman
Clarkson should start an art business, his drawing touched my soul
Someone at Tesla was having entirely too much fun the day they came up with celebration mode.
😂😃😂
Ironic waste of electricity.
Elon has fun every day planning for Tesla's future
@@tundraboomer3372 exactly. Also too american
Also Ludicrous mode is based upon the satiric movie 'Space Balls'.
I want to see an outtake reel with the lawyers unable to hold their poker faces, and giggling.
That lawyer sitting at the front is really passive aggressive she’s horrible
@@Who-cu9eu that’s the whole point
@@Who-cu9eu they’re all passive aggressive
@@Who-cu9eu You realize they are acting, right? Or am I missing the sarcasm or something?
Almost all cars will be self driving and the lawyers will be ai robotsm
The fact this has impressed Jeremy so much proves how good it is
I still remember when top gear purposefully sabotaged tesla to make it seem like a piece of shit.
Good times.
@@RandomHeroGames There are many examples of Tesla haters that once they experience a Tesla fall in love. Its a love hate relationship. LOL
I guess when you have it, flaunt it. hahaha
@@SmokinPaul my cousin is the biggest Tesla hater ive met in my life. not one month ago he bought a model y.
@@haroonahmad2185 don't blame him it's just that once you experience a Tesla you know it's awesome. 😎
I would always stop and ask people charging at my local supercharger location how they like led there cars. No one had any minor issues, mostly minot stuff like my driver's window doesn't work. Everyone loved their Tesla. People would tell me to take one for a test drive but I never did. I knew from talking to owners I would love a Tesla.
We bought a model Y and it's the best car we have ever owned. 🙂
We still own an ice car but we only use it twice a week so hopefully I won't need to do any work on it before I receive my cyber truck. 😁
@@SmokinPaul yeah or don't knock it till you've tried it. I never understood eBikes, until recently I had a go on one then bought one 2 days after lol. There's a sentiment with them as well where once your mate has had a go on one they'll never want to ride a normal bike again
I missed out on most of Top Gear. I did become acquainted with The Stig (and would've been awesome to see him come out of the R8), but on the other hand, on the few episodes I got to watch, I never saw a _"fill the car with lawyers"_ part. That was hilarious. The whole review was awesome and Jeremy looked like a kid with a new toy - a clichéd yet perfectly suitable phrase 😀 Cheers!
1:03 I like what he drew in the scratchpad
😂😂😂😂
💯 he just did that.
hahahaha lol
Just a little more detail and it would’ve been perfecto 👨🏻🎨

The lawyer bit needs to be a regular segment. 😂
@bodoti qwiu It' old segment they republished. Model X was released in 2015.
Might have been a loose sneaky reference to the top gear tesla roadster review controversy where they faked the review because of shell sponsoring them
You've got to give it to Clarkson if you like cars he's great at keeping your attention, there's just no one better.
I don't even like cars
@@vandread Me neither.
I love how he drew something “random”😂😂on the touchpad
I Love Tesla's nod to the film Spaceballs.
"Ludicrous Speed"
The new Roadster has "Plaid Mode."
@@Anothy No, the new Model S and Model X have a Plaid mode (The only thing beyond Ludicrous is Plaid).
The Roadster is in a class of its own, it has a SpaceX mode with cold gas thrusters.
Dude Elon gets all humor. He even priced one of his cars at 69k for the memes
@@6thgear914 painfully unfunny and a turn of for a lot of consumers. i dont want ads and a "i want my mommy" button in our center console.
2:50 Never misses a chance to mock May 😂😂😂
Yeah, I had a chuckle seeing his message.
James may is a moroc
"James May is a moroc."
When Jeremy speaks, I'm at home on my sofa watching Top Gear, on a Sunday night, and I feel safe again.
The biggest selling point for a Tesla and one of the main reasons I bought it is for its safety rating… because the heavy battery packs are at the bottom it is almost impossible to roll… because it has no engine it has a huge crumple zone that absorbs energy from head on collisions… the airbags completely encase the driver keeping them from being thrown around..
That battery pack can’t outlast an engine though. A massive drawback of owning the vehicle unfortunately
I love the lawyers trying to stay in character during the shot, educational and funny.
Very lovely pretty pattern he drew there
IKR. Skillz
Well, it IS Clarkson after all...
It's a rocket in homage to Elon
Was a dick
He had you specifically in mind
The lawyers part is also to funny xD
In British humor way....
He literally trapped those lawyers 😂😂
Everytime I watch one of these, I want to own one! It's like an adult toy car that you can actually drive. Fantastic!
And then you see the price, build quality and impracticality.
Nah. More like a laptop on wheels.

interesting how he called summon mode a gimmick but demonstrated a legitimate use for it by using it to park in a tight location.
It was filmed a few years ago
would you park your 160k car in a tight spot between 2 other cars though? If I spend so much money on it I would park it in the emptiest space around, even if that mean I'd have to walk for 5km xd
@@wardancer400 you could summon your car to park at the end and summon it back to where ever you want to go
@@wardancer400 it's called the 'no ding zone' and exists in every shopping centre carpark. It is physically the furthest point from lifts, escalators or any form of public convenience and is generally only inhabited by other MB's BMW's Porsches, Audi's (hmmm, all German ... ) where they don't want some thoughtless arsehole opening their door into their car either
@@mikehendry34 yeah i love this misnomer.
The safest place is the closest parking spot to the doors.
The most dangerous is the back 9f the parking lot and is only amplified if there arent any cars in the space next to the car left, right, and behind.
As this is the most common vehicle to be vandalized and stolen.
To the Editor: Why do I get a 7969MHZ noise into my ears at 6:05
Because it's electric current, so engine roar like for the R8 doesn't make sense.
7:22 "7 seater PlayStation" 😂😂
1:00 It's pretty obvious what is constantly on Clarkson's mind!
I like how you can fit it with car sounds so you can make it sound like a lambo
then get one instead of this fake sound board...
I like actual lambos
Very interesting first two replies here eh?
@@mrashford122 Lambo's catch fire without the crash
Instead of that, why not spaceship or an aircraft? You know, something like from Elite Dangerous spaceship like Anaconda
The only thing about Tesla cars I don’t like is that they are expensive, some of them have got and finish issues, and a lot of people that drove them where I live drive like they are better then everyone else. Other than that, they look fantastic.
I feel like Jeremy's closing statement for the BAC Mono review applies nicely to this as well: "In many ways, then, this is a bit like an iPad because that's not cheap either and you certainly don't need one. But you want one because it's such a lovely... thing."
but it isn't
@@sxtxrnxd did you?
Are we going to ignore that he sketched a schlong at the beginning?

Really he should have also drawn a vagina for balance and that would have made things ok.

Batty boy that
I wonder if those lawyers were having fun or they just saw it as another day at work
we are not actually suggesting lawyers are capable of having fun today, are we?
Are you suggesting the lawyers are having fun rather than fulfilling their billable, fiduciary duty to the company?
Those were actors, playing lawyers because Tesla once sued him. This whole shtick was to show how comfortable seven adults can fit in that car.
@@Metal0sopher I assumed they were actors. They were too funny to be real lawyers. However, I didn't know Telsa sued Clarkson. That makes the whole schtick much funnier.

Just picked up the Model Y Performance model. I can't believe how fast this car is. It has so much torque. Unbelievable car from front to back. 10 years ahead of its time.
How much was it
@@sgtmuffinbadger6147 $67K USD. I opted for the Blue paint and white leather. Both were $1K extra each. I've supercharged it twice since i got it. both charges were about 60% of battery and cost about $10 each, which was nice considering gas is $6+ here in Cali. Not one ounce of buyer's remorse. Performance package look is beefy and stance is sick. 21 inch tires really make it stand out. Comfortable ride, low center of gravity and AWD allows it to eat up corners. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Auto pilot is amazing which comes standard. 10 times safer than a human driving. I didn't get the full self driving package, as that is still being vetted out. but i can purchase it whenever i want with one push of a button on my cell phone. :) This car is like driving a car 10 years in the future. it will be very difficult to go back to any other car after a week of driving this Jetson mobile. Very blessed.

Jeremy is proof you never have to grow up, if you enjoy what you are doing for a career.
He is a kid at heart ❤
"Vauxhall says their cars are exciting" 🤣
Well I guess they meant when they get stolen and used in drive by shootings.
I'm really missing the final joke, where the Model X fights back on Jeremy, opens the back doors (because they will open even in such narrow conditions) to let the lawyers exit the car an kick his sarcastic Aas.
@fouoii gyhh It already was 10 years ago, but nobody noticed because the German cars never promoted it
The backdoors also open in small parking garages and get damaged by the roof.
@@johnvanpuffelen6350 until you realise there are sensors that stop them from opening completely
Yeah they wasted such a gold opportunity right there
@@johnvanpuffelen6350 I have this car, and I can tell you, without a doubt, they will not open 100% of the way if they sense an obstruction. You can override this, but you literally have to press a confirmation on the car, twice, before it’ll allow this.
Wow that is amazing. If only I could afford one. Truly impressive vehicle.
