Mashable Daily But still JC (The real JC) would prefer a V8 petrol guzzling motor than a car that runs on electric. Simple. He is a Petrol Head.
Tesla was in its very beginning and those lies in Roadster review almost broke the company. They did not care about everyone that was working hard there at that time, it was simply a joke no matter the consequences and chances of ruining a lot of people lives. How can someone trust their opinions from now on? I never will watch them again. This video is simply to say we screwed up but now you can trust us...
Renato B How was the review lies? Car was hung of shit and still is. Stop being such a tesla sheep. Its sickening.

Agreed. Tesla sheep are lost. Here's the reality. All the other car manufacturers are on the EV bandwagon and many of them are about to offer cars and suvs that have similar ranges to Tesla. Now here's the kicker; All of these car companies are backed by governments (German/Japanese/Korean/Chinese/USA etc) which means #1) they have more resources, #2) they have government backing for infrastructure, #3) they can dump product on the market, saturate it and wipe out competition, #4) they can guarantee quality since they can staff up as many people as they need. Tesla has done a great thing by changing the playing field but Tesla are akin to Barnsley 4th division now playing against Manchester City 1st division. It's going to be a blood bath in late 2018/early 2019. People don't want a shit $35K Car, they want all the extras and reliability.
"I have no problem with electricity as a method of propulsion"... "for a washing machine "
Well it is the superior way to do propulsion so ofc he won't have anything bad to say about it. It is superior in every single way even now when it is not really supposed to. Manufacturers had over 100 years to make ICE so good while for EVs they needed less than 10 years to beat the ICE everywhere.
@@davout5775 Except range but theres only so much that can be done there. Still range is perfectly acceptable at over 300 miles.
@@terrestrialcreature7481 It is subjective as the price also plays a crucial role.
Feels like Jeremy died a little when he said he had no problems with electricity as propulsion
Arthur Wong not really... He has driven several electric cars in recent series and seemed to be impressed by them. The green Mercedes, the Rimac, the Tesla X.
It shows in his face..😔
@@keirbourne4589 Yeah but he used to be very clearly biased against electric cars. Like 2008ish. That's what he means. Jeremy isn't who he used to be anymore. He "died" a little. Get it sport?
@@p_cuda9717 yeah, but he pretended electric cars would never make it, neither now or in the future.
His tone implied that we should've stopped trying & developing EV's alltogheter, but look where we are now.

How hard did he laugh after they said cut at the end?
He probably cried. He knows his time is gone. New times, new cars.
He genuinely seemed sad at the end. It’s a sad time for cars.

He only lost because what they do is entertainment, so lying about the car dying on them was allowed. Only reason Elon lost, because its not defamation if its comedic, or for entertainment purposes.
I wonder if Donald Trump sent Elon a tweet calling him a stone cold looser
@@matthewgodwin3050 Unlikely, Trump can spell.
Elon sounds like a hateful person because of this.
Not to mention he daily drove a McLaren then shamelessly crashed it cuz you know that's what millionaires do. I died a little bit when I first heard about it
@@harrison8624 Top Gear producers base their script on actual car reviews conducted by Top Gear Magazine then any issues the reviewers points out will be exaggerated by the TV show for entertainment. People forget that all this happened in 2008 with the Tesla roadster. At the time the Tesla Roadster cost over $100k and even more in the UK and a base model Lotus Elise(roadster was based on) cost $46k Top Gear wanted to see if the roadster costing 3x more was 3x better than the Lotus. The roadster could do over 200 miles on a single charge but when you take it on a race track its range gets reduced severely and Top Gear weren't the only reviewers who experienced this. Top Gear had multiple roadsters on hand due to time constraints and unlike petrol cars where you can just refuel in 5min with EVs you gotta wait hours(Yes Im aware supercharging 30min to 80%) which added even more inconvenience to top gear film crew. It funny how other car makers never made a fuss about their cars being badly portrayed by Top Gear yet Elon Musk gets fucking butthurt so much if anyone dare questions or points out any flaws with his products just look at his twitter for proof. When Elon Musk starts getting emotional going on twitter rants or stupid lawsuits because of what someone says you know it's all true. With the Porsche Taycan just being released just proves how fucked Tesla is once the German automakers get their battery
Hmm.. i hate the fact that these guys getting older..but that's life
I was thinking that looking at him
This asshole cannot die soon enough
As much as I don't stand with some of Jeremy's ways off stage I still love him for top gear and the grand tour, all three of them.
An amazing show that's kept me happy when I'm ill
We're all dying 1 second at a time.
I simply cannot understand the mentality of someone who says such things. It's very sad.
“I have no problem with electricity” ... clarkson gets up punchs the producer in the face for making him say tht !
Waiting eagerly for your proof that there is no God... But yes some of it is an act, but a whole lot of it isn't, he is clearly egotistical, self opinionated, and full of his own self worth, but that's not to say there isn't a smidgen of made up opinion just to create contention and boost viewer ratings. I actually think most of the time they aren't expressing their true feelings because what would that do for the show if each week they all said yes we all agree this is the best one. The all have roles to play, and they all have a different favorite to play out the script, so who knows what they really do and don't like.
Dodgy Brothers waiting eagerly for your proof that there is... There is no evidence that god exists or doesn't exist, period. That's UNKNOWN, you just can't, NOT ENOUGH DATA. Period. I can come up with purple communist Bunny-Plumber to believe in if that would make my life easier, but I wouldn't try to convince everybody else to believe in that, like religious fanatics do. it would be my own way of fooling myself into believing in something. For gods sake. If you pardon me expression
I never said there was because there is no indisputable proof either way. Miracles happen, but with enough extrapolation anything can be justified or reasoned away. I believe based on what I have experienced in my life, but it is up to everyone to make up their own mind. I don't believe in fear mongering to get people to believe, but consider if there is a God, you die and you don't believe... I find it rather interesting that non believers think it makes life easier somehow when it is probably heavily stacked to the opposite, since no one has ever been persecuted for not believing throughout the ages. But that is getting largely away from the point of the majority of my post which is it's a show and opinions may be fabricated purely for effect.
And you kiss your mother with that potty mouth... Figure you must be about 10 since you are all tough behind a keyboard.
HighDeva Company you already cared about my opinion so much, you pissed yourself off and wrote a comment, how easy to refute every single fuсkin word you say, you really must be 10
I wish more car critics and reviewers had the honesty of Jeremy when they review cars rather than just kiss up to industry manufacturers
"Honesty"? He got paid under the table to fake a review on Tesla's Roadster. The guy is a lying POS.
they faked a brake down on the first tesla review. He’s biased AF

Who the fuck watch top gear for car reviews? I watch it because its funny watching them make fun of all the car manufacturer.
Jimbo you are right, although Top Gear had a gigantic fan base who heard Clarkson like he was God and if he says the car is bullshit, it hurts the sales.
Jimbo this
Believe it or not, Top Gear's reviews have a massive impact on car sales and overall opinion.
a lot of people do. That's the point.
Exactly, but only mature people underestimate that. Still all those immature people including lots of kids believe everything top gear say, and due internet they start a chain of miss information that effects a lot of people. ITs exact same thing with any information online, you have to check it to make sure its legit....

beautiful victory for Jeremy. he won in 2008 and he became people's champion in 2018 by staying humble.
Clarkson mumbling about petrol, cause EVs is more easy to use, more comfort, and have less points of flaws in common. So, if he switch to EV, how he could talk about it for a 1 or 2 hours? There is nothing to comment. It is nice from a factory (excluding battery).
And now he owns a farm. And Elon becomes the richest men ever. Yep, good for Jeremy
He only won because they claimed they are entertaining program not factual. Nice loophole.
Clarkson is an old fashioned guy. Inline six with a manual stick. This theme of EV's and Hybrids is not his cup of tea.
@Stephen Macdaddy yea, so does producing gasoline and engine oil, except batteries won't be producing toxins in the operation of the vehicle itself.
Whatastic but they are boring as hell so they are shit
Electric cars predate gas cars by around 30 years, talking about old fashioned.
@Stephen Macdaddy they aren't really polluting when making batteries they use solar energy.
@@Danyal_ I haven't heard this exchange 100 times before.
"Electric cars are dirtier to make"
*Gets disproven*
"But they are boring"
Lol.
One thing I learned about watching Top Gear was the fastest car was not always the most fun to drive I'm surprised that wasn't Clarkson's response
"I certainly have no problem with electricity as a mean of propulsion."
I've got several series of Top Gear on box set at home, Jeremy, where you say things that severely disagree with that statement.
People are allowed to change their opinions over time
Indi Heaton are you waiting for jeremy to reply to you
@@user-el2zj3pw5r unintentional funny comment lmao
He said tings that go against what he seems to believe in the past as well. I bet he's just covering his back, if Tesla gets it right nobody can discredit him.
JonatasAdoM Very true. Tbh he's given positive reviews of things he's said he hated then done a review where he said he's hated them again. It does make me wonder if he's being sponsored to say positive things. But you know, Jeremy has never been sponsored to do anything. At all. It would be inconceivable actually.
I have a feeling they cut the video before he finished his sentence. I would suspect Jeremy's full sentence was something like: "I have no problem with electricity with a means of propulsion...but every electric car ever made so far has been absolutely terrible".
But he doesn't think that.
He does. He says that most electric cars that he’s been in, have limited range and that he’s not fond of them.
@@krispamidi1202 Yea because they are shit, they are terrible as race cars because they over heat when you push them, they have limited range, even 30 minutes is to long of a charge time, top speed is usually terrible, can't fix them, can't tune them, can't mod them to hard, if you get into a crash you can no longer use the fast charging stations.
A good electric car can be done but the tech is necessarily there at the current time.
@@0Synergy Just one disagreement here you can mod electric cars. The power of an electric motor is based on the strength of the generated magnetic fields. That magnetic field strength is based on amperage. If you cut open the battery pack and reconnect the cells so more of them are in parallel and less are in series and then reconfigure (or replace) your inverter to accept lower voltage and higher amperage you would see a power increase. (If you don't overheat your motor anyway)
Tesla fanboys have surpassed Apple fanboys in being annyoing.
Gehteuch Nixan Tesla Fanboys and echo friendly people. It's like Trump and Hillary followers defending USA from terrorism.
And stubborn "car guys" whine about the future of the auto industry. If they were really enthusiasts, they'd be on board with Tesla's sweeping advancements to the industry. But that's their choice to be left in the dust crying with their "cool" loud exhaust putting around.
You are just a butthurt tesla fanboy. Sorry that I want to drive my car myself instead of just sitting there when car drives itself. Sorry that I don't want to accelerate the process of making driving illegal. Sorry that I don't want a eco box which makes no sound at all and costs 10 times as much. Sorry that I don't like to leave my car after it's battery finally ran out of electricity and wait 11 hours until I can get back to the road.
Cameron Rudolph Tesla still has a long way to go, buddy. All that electricity is still coming from a power plant that's bellowing smoke by the hundreds of liters. I'd rather buy a car with more convenience, more utility, and a more reasonable price tag. Am I so fucking evil for that?
Go look up the numbers, burning coal to power a car is still better than using a petrol.
Also Eletric is competitive price wise now, but people are scared, and can't see the greatest premature killer or the 21st century, pollution.
That’s not why Musk sued him. TopGear was sued because they lied about it breaking down on the show, despite the cars’ computer having no indication of it
Sizzlin shut the fuck up😂 you really think TV writers aren’t low enough to do something like that
I think I saw a lightning flash at that last sentence.
Roman V so why did he lost???
dude the very part that failed on the Roadster on the Top Gear test track was the center of a recall by Tesla themselves.... Elon Musk is a scumbag for trying to sue them for it... even Clarkson invited Tesla back when they got it fixed and offered to give the car a new review then but Musk made things worst by trying to sue TopGear... Elon Musk is a scumbag....
You are talking about the BBC not some trash tv
He is very clearly lying towards the end, just look at his bodylanguage.
If you're going by the "body language for 3 year olds" school of thought I suppose. Clearly he's not lying. Why on earth would he lie? He's not a child.
@@Malc180s Anybody who claims a car can make the world kinder, or even a better place has to be lying. Those are just not virtues a car can attain. And if you understand anything about body language, you'd know that breaks in pattern are generally indicators of discomfort, which usually means someone is lying. His body language is completely different for the final statement than the rest of the video. He becomes much more shaky, keeps his hand in front of his face more often, his eye contact is much much shorter, he also displays more of a frown while earlier his expression is more neutral, lastly, his tone of voice is higher pitched for the final segment.
There are a plethora of reasons he would lie, pressure from the producers or his lawyers for one. He got into a lot of hot water last time he criticized Tesla. The average adult lies 200 times per day, so it's not like lying is a childish trait either.
@@Erowens98 You're literally talking shit. You know nothing about body language, and even if you did, an edited up interview is _impossible_ to read. Impossible. And anyone who claims to be able to read anything into this is a total moron. This is zero reason for him to lie. There's also zero reason for anyone to hate electric cars. And hey, guess what, nobody hates electric cars. People just take the piss out of the touchy flowers who feel the need to defend a bit of metal with some batteries in it.
@@Erowens98 200 times a day?
@@Malc180s i am repeating the information of the worlds foremost experts on the subject, Darren Stanton for one. Clearly, it is you who has 0 understanding of bodylanguage. Go read a book or two, ignorance is forgivable, stupidity is not.
Also, your claim that there is zero reason for anyone, particularly him to hate electric cars is utterly ridiculous. Even before you get into the argument of their pseudo sutainability, humans don't need a reason to hate something. And to claim nobody hates electric cars, is frankly naive.
I've never seen Clarkson with an ounce on humility, until today.
Don't worry, if you saw his Lotus Evija video, he 'hates' on electric cars again
Thank god he's lost that humility XD
Rejoice, the old Clarkson is back baby
Well this is a very odd change of tone, he always absolutely hated electric cars... for a moment there I was thinking he might have grown wiser, but this is Clarkson, they must be holding his dog hostage or something.
He never hated electric cars he simply said that they are not at a point where they worked properly yet. And he was pretty correct. They aren't as good as ICE cars yet.
They were terrible when he had those opinions, technology has caught up
He needs to make a profit first ;)
He is beginning to come around to them, he was all for the BMW i8 at one point until the battery range let him down (although that is technically a Hybrid)
He looked down after he made that statement though, it's a tell of someone who just lied XD
Jezza facial expressions speak for itself.
He Chong Bin he out and out lied.
Remember what he said in response to James may saying in 2013 that electric powered cars will fail... I look forward to seeing g that he said..
His face says he was awfully impressed and he was totally wrong about it by saying we're all 9 years old in the head.. perhaps more so he is.
He knows that everyone is aware of what happened by now, but he also knows that he can't directly admit it on the media.
Musk: it will be the fastest production car ever made.
Porsche: Hold my Stuttgarter Hofbräu.

@@shahan484 What - the car that only exists in the mind of Elon Musk and his fanboys? Delays after delays, and now it’s postponed to 2022. All this hype around it, yet it won’t defeat a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport on the Autobahn, and would be thrashed by a McLaren Senna around Spa. It doesn’t have nearly the heritage of McLaren and Ferrari, and that is evident in its price tag. But if it does actually do a 0-60 of 1.9, that would be quite an achievement. I, however, remain doubtful due to the delays.

I love the way Clarkson looked bashfully downwards as he said he had no problem with electrical propulsion. You could see the embarrassment! Bless him, that's about as close as we'll ever get to seeing him admit he was wrong.
In all honesty the first roadster was pretty shit, as with all first gen electric cars. Now they are getting better, the man wasn't lying, Elon just can't take criticism.
agreed its like automatics. the old automatics were quite crap and uneconomical and just slow. but modern ones are just great and in some cases better than a manual
Most often it is not criticism, it is ignorance and stupidity. People constantly lie and blow things out of proportion when it comes to competing technology or anything that goes against money and lobbying like with the oil industry and the present car industry. Most of it is a perversion of capitalism. The oil industry and most who support it by what they do are acting like communists. Most americans by a majority dislike the franchise dealer model yet laws are preventing tesla from selling in some states. That goes against democracy and the will of the people.
If you actually knew anything and do your homework, Elon constantly seeks out criticism which is how he improves things so greatly and succeeds. He has spoken about this many times. The problem again is this so called criticism is not valid as it is based on jealously, lobbying, or spite. Most of these people are nothing more than stupid and jealous bullies who have more money and power and are just trying to beat those down who are trying to do better things. All because their success is threatened. They are pussies and do not want the competition which they clearly know is better than what they are doing. The are threatened and like children, get defensive and spiteful. They are like our present president. He is narcissistic too.

Before you let your fanboyism cloud your judgment, just do a simple Google search. BTW I am not a petrol head, I like Electric Cars (though I prefer Hybrid), and I like Tesla. What I don't like, is fanboys like you.
The first review was completely unfair and Elon should have won those lawsuits. They made the car look like it failed on purpose... :/ only time ive disliked top gear
massive top gear fan here too, but apparently they wrote a breakdown into the script of the review. bit of a dick move lol
Trevor Wyatt I've seen every episode of top gear and I adore them. But that review made me sad.
Actually all is not as it seems with that review, it was a hell of a lot more fair than Musk made it out to be. I've explained this before so i'll copy and paste what i've written before: "The only thing that was "staged" in the Tesla Roadster test was that it had ran flat on the track and that they had to push it. In the same way that they might stage a supercar with a tiny fuel tank running out on the track having to be pushed when it might not have actually drained the tank entirely. The other claims, like the low power mode, braking issues, and the 55 mile on track range were all completely true. The script that the person who delivered the Tesla saw on the table was a basic outline of what they already knew about the vehicle from experience driving a different one earlier. The script also allowed for additional comments and observations to be added as Clarkson tested it through the day."
James Oldham ...... He litterally fucking claimed that the brakes broke while charging, how the fuck does that happen. Pretty sure that's fake, argue all you want.
Why other car brands didnt suit top gear? Onlybec clarkson said the truth about tesla he tried to suit them and lost
You started hating top gear bec what they said about tesla and then you call yourself "hardcore fan"

This is so passive aggressive I love it
Top Gear then was an entertainment show, not a factual show about cars. It was full of hyperbole and poked fun at many cars. If you were going to Top Gear for consumer advice about buying a Tesla or any car you were an idiot. No one expected a glowing review and the car did have many obvious shortcomings, it was an exaggerated buyer beware based on the opinions of the boys at Top Gear that we were all well used to. Tesla fan boys need to stop crying.
D Jay you’re an idiot
I wasn't expecting a glowing review, but one without a script calling for the car to break down would be nice.
Croydon Cumming Human beings respond to various stimuli, it has baffled me how responding to opinions you disagree with on social media platforms produces such a response. Am I supposed to feel insulted? Is it supposed to imply I made an irrational and emotional response? I like to drop a little level headed rationale sometimes. You should consider it too.
D Jay I call it Tesla fan boy exceptionalism, or would they rather call it egotism? Like the GTR fan boys being triggered when AMG used the name?
Newfriends don't realise that Top Gear _was_ a factual show with a bit of silly to keep things fresh, until these 3 clowns showed up and made it a silly show with a bit of factual to justify remaining on BBC2.
Ahahaha love that little jab at Tesla at the end 😂
Lol it was full of sarcasm, but very subtle.
I hope no one lets him drive the new roadster couse he will probably die of a heart atack lol
He's driven an F1 car, which is far scarier than the new roadster.
Well maybe you can suck enough koolaid out of elons ass to afford one. Other than that, you won't be either. Also, shut the fuck up about things you know not of. The roadsters may be fastest In a straight line, but it will never be top ten at the nordschleiffe.
'It will never do X' is the textbook criticism that Tesla loves to prove wrong time and time again. Success is the best revenge after all.
Elon : i let him drive and expecting he dies right away before he hits the pedals
Yes,yes, sure... With a good aero kit that thing will beat all petrol cars everywhere. Will see. You want to bet?_ For sure it will be in the top 10.
I dont understand why people are so extremists... , there is no need to pick sides ( tesla or petrol cars ) , i am glad that somebody actually started looking into our planet and trying to change our terrible ways , doing this while trying to make it affordable and safer , in a way that just makes sense to switch to battery powered cars , i feel that is their main goal , but i also agree that now it doesnt make sense to do so , the cars are expensive and far from perfect , but the important thing is that at least they started the idea , resulting in companies moving in the right direction , in the end the planet thanks us
So , i am not a tesla fan boy , but i would like to see them succeed at trying to change the world for the better
Pehaps in a couple of years we will have eletric cars do better than gas cars , see its not about the speed (0-60) its about affordability and range , and its not there yet
i agree. i would never buy an EV now since the range is rather shit compared to your gasoline counterpart but they are atleast getting better. speed wise EVs are already there its mainly the range and charging time. affordability will get there once more people switch over
I also have a few friends who are extreme both on the petrol and green side. It's so ridiculous, cognitive bias all around each avoiding facts regarding negative points of the relevant technology. But when greenies talk all day long about the merits of EVs and then drive petrol cars I want to puke, stop preaching and lead by example if you are legit.

Top Gear is the greatest tv series EVER
The old one, yes.
How much did they pay Clarkson to say that 🤣🤣
They actually made him pay to say that.
@@DaLHunt44 yes but how much
ONE THING ABOUT CLARKSON IS THAT,, HE DOESN’T LIKE ELECTRIC CARS, & in grand tour season 3 he admitted he won’t spend his remaining life hours charging electric cars
Because one day they won't take that long to charge.
Musk was right in one respect. In 2018 an 8 year old Tesla roadster became not just the fastest production car but the fastest car of any kind ever made. Not sure Jezza would want to be in it though.
We already know that electric cars is impressive because when you put your foot down you can get all the power immediately but the only drawback is the charging time and is the battery reliable and battery will degrade as you are using for some time.
For me Tesla should spend more time to create a car that car perform all rounder better rather then just power and can go 0 - 100 km/h at 1.9 sec,their car price are also expensive so if they can't make a car overall better I would rather go for a proper car makers that they already make cars for many years and they know what they are doing and just switch it to electric.
I don't want to say Tesla is not good but just still got room to improve.
Also your electricity most likely comes from coal, and the manufacturing process causes more pollution because of the materials required. Also old batteries have no where to go and just wind up rotting away in the dump. There's a lot more problems with electric cars than just performance and cost.
Meanwhile petroleum is still the most efficient and easily transportable form of propulsion, and still hasn't been proven to impact the environment
@@DiggitySlice Electricity from coal is still more efficient that a gas car.
Lithium battery packs can be recycled, and its cheaper to recycle than make from scratch because the lithium is already pretty refined.
It is true that the manufacturing process is more damaging but the car more than makes up for it throughout its life.
EVs have many flaws. Mention the true ones at least, like inferior range, inferior top speed and heavier vehicles which can result in worse handling.
Funny how when someone is lying he start touching his ear and scratch his face. Standard body language.
If that's the case, Clarkson seems to be lying when he says the original Tesla is a bad car. Face touching can also be a sign of discomfort.
EnoVarma yes, lying is uncomfortable to do.
Didn't realize I'm a compulsive liar, this explains a lot.
He seemed obviously uncomfortable in this interview
It may also be that because you know people think this is standard body language you use it just to fuck with those who think can identify behavior fully through 'standard body language'
Like a Dinosaur complaining about this annoying fireball he can see in the sky...
The look on his face after he said ''I certainly have no problem with electricity...'' was just a cry for help.
Tesla sued them because they said on the show that the car died, but then tesla looked at data from the car's computer (the one they lent them) and saw that the battery never went below that threshold. So basically, they blatantly lied on the show. Besides that, if you look up that episode the whole thing is ridiculously biased and full of misleading or false claims.
correction, TRIED to sue, lost twice
Sued
"institute legal proceedings against (a person or institution)"
How is it incorrect to say sued?
top gear isnt a factual show it never tried to be otherwise they wouldnt do all those challenges that were meaningless but entertaining. top gear is for entertainment if your watching top gear for factual car information and informative car reviews then you are looking in the wrong place
They sued, and lost. So they tried to sue to shut him down twice and failed. If you shorten that, it is tried to sue and failed, twice. If you disagree, there are boks on logic to read to help you-
No, he was right, it would be "sued twice, and lost", definitely not "tried to sue". If they had "tried" to sue and it never even made it to court, THEN you could say "tried to sue and failed".
Oh well great news! There is a Dacia Spring Electric!
In my area when cars are charging in the shopping centre or wherever in public, people are pulling out the charging cable when the EVangelist is in the shops. Should here them moan about that 😂😂😂😂
This guy is a great car reviewer. He absolutely hates any American Cars and call them Crap before he has even seen one up close. That being said, They never should have kicked him off that British Car series. When an electric car company hides details, honest reviews, you know a red flag has just gone off. I personally don't care about these golf carts, but I care about the Taxpayer money going into this Vapor-Ware company that all we will get in the end is Fisker Motors and no apology. Jeremy is a great guy and Honest.
Jeremy Clarkson is a very funny person :-)
Clarkson being economic with his truth yet again.
He is a petrolhead from top to bottom and will NEVER change.
A person with 30 years experience reviewed my car and said it wasn't very good. Right I'm gonna sue him. Gotta love America
With that said it is no wonder Tesla has quality control issues
Does anyone know what the music used in this is? I tired to shazam it but had no luck! Thanks
I haven't heard of the Roadster until recently. The 0-100 is impressive. I'll only want to drive that on open tracks.
1:24 you can see the guilt of lying about the original roadster.
AGRIM JAIN he should feel guilty about it, especially considering where Tesla is nowadays
Yeah, you can read his face like a book. Doin' a bit of inner reflection at the end.
Nah the original was trash. Impractical and nothing to separate it from other sports car in its league
3 1 Nobody, including elon musk thinks that original roadster was a PRACTICAL car …!
And electric torque was a thing to seperate it from other sports car
AGRIM JAIN no, he really isn't... Not even a tiny bit
Where can I watch this interview unedited?
Inner nine year old? Aha of course there is a subscribe to pewdiepie bottom in the car.
I'm glad to see this, and this is about as positive as he can get. Clarkson hates to admit he's wrong, so he'll never say he likes Tesla, but he'll say nice things about certain aspects of Tesla cars. He used to do the same thing on Top gear for cars and car brands he didn't want to like, but did. He must hve secretly loved the Model X for him to come around this much, especially since he and Elon still have animosity towards each other
See how Clarkson dies a bit inside after saying he has not a problem with electricity being a means of propulsion
This is great but I like...
Clarkson didn't mean that last sentence. He tried it though. But he ain't mean it lol
I'm one of many who have made the $ 1 000. deposit for the Model 3. I'm an enthousiast of Tesla, SpaceX, Boring co., and so forth. I've really enjoyed your "very honest" review. One that I can share to my friends (sold or not to Tesla) ;-) ! For that, my turn to give you a quick score of 8 out of 10 for your work on this review. Congrats !
This interview seemed rather honest, nothing shits me more than Tesla fanboys who defend everything Tesla yet never driven one, let alone own one.
AJV80 their review on the first Tesla was proven to be dishonest. And that pisses off, not Tesla “fanboys”, but rather pro-electric car people. But with the internet, this guy’s popularity is going down anyway
don't be silly there is no Tesla fanboys here!!! they're Tesla cult members... there cult ID card is the amt of shares they got in Tesla or the pre order on a Model3.. lol... honestly you got you love and hate Elon Musk.. hate him because he is a scumbag but got to love how he takes all these chumps money and they still defending him like a battered wife.... lol
dunhillsupramk3 that sounds more like the tea party
RA_rc that's why tesla sued him and won......no wait, lost
Joshua L that was a while ago, they don’t do stupid stuff like that anymore....
I remember Jeremy making fun of electric cars. He ain't laughing now.
Victor Charlie Lol jokes on him now
He made fun of them when they were a joke. Times change. Remember the G Wiz?
They wher tottal jokes back in the day. Slow, badly build, took long to charge, and extreamly expensive... back in the day only rich morons would buy such a shitty car. But times have changed and they are far better then they wher and everyone can see that ther is a future in the tech now.
AKA he hated them but now he is quite interested in the future of them.
He also used to say that automatic transmissions were crap. Because they were. Same with electric cars.
"i certainly have no problems with electricity as means of propulsion" I watched every episode of Top Gear and that is new to me.
I'm electrician by trade and remember every time he would start talking crap about electric motors i would think: you are so wrong Jeremy, electric motors are great, with their power output they would make godlike car engines. We just don't have the technology to power them. It's better power storage we need...
So, yeah... Clarkson has changed his tune...
See everyone is a nine year old inside, EVERYONE IS IN PEWDS ARMY
I think the funniest part is that Elon tried to sue him!😅😅
And lost twice 😂
Why are there so many Tesla fan boys? You do realise it's a fucking vacuum cleaner on wheels right?
Jeremy Clarkson sponsored by Shell.
Or perhaps just a man who stands by his opinions, instead of following fads like 98% of the population is conditioned to do. I don't like Tesla either. The cars are fine, but I don't like the company culture and opinions of Tesla.
@@tbn22 You missed the ball, buckaroo.
@charoak You left your brain at home.
@@tbn22 Excuse me?
And he pretty much hates any innovation
“New roadster breaks down”
i think his criticism of electrical and hybrid cars in the past being inefficient/ environmentally unfriendly is fair. Electrical cars have come a long way.
They have but they aren't there yet. Its absolutely fair to criticize them even now. I think electric cars are cool but fuck are they so limited.
"The first time I reviewed a Tesla it was fair and hard hitting"... Except you were exposed by Tesla as having lied repeatedly during your scripted review about its reliability and battery capacity. As much as I like the Top Gear guys, their dislike of electric cars during the Top Gear days was obvious to all. Clarkson may have changed his tune now, but I don't trust him on the subject of electric cars.
And tesla were exposed by the courts. Twice.
Touché. Lawsuits where lost, not won. Now, are you holding the court in contempt Ben?
Exposed yeah..sure...court says otherwise though.
No lawsuit was lost, the courts dismissed the case when Tesla didn't provide enough evidence of revenue loss or damage to the company. The other half of the case was about maliciously misrepresenting the Tesla abilities, to which the judge found that there was only a very slim if any case to be made for this. Top gear basically had to admit that when they pushed the Tesla to the garage it was not out of power, but rather claims that it would have been after 55 miles according to a calculation they did.
Tl;Dr case was dismissed, not lost. Top gear admitted the Tesla never ran out.
Ben B Realy? If you can't take the criticism stay out of the game...
Elon was butt hurt about it because he knew Jeremy was kinda right. If you take the battery with the "theoretical" 220 miles you can only drive approximately 100 miles with it on the new roadster (real world conditions) meaning that this car is just a toy for the rich.
If we are talking about practical use than electrical cars are up to this day still inferior to a good old petrol or diesel engine.
Backroundmusic in the end?
correct
Yes.
remember that scared face at the end lol :D
You can see the pain in his face after he said he had nothing against electricity as a propulsion
I'm a Tesla and Clarkson fan. I have passion for technology and the future, and automotives, that does not mean I am an expert on either. However, I've learned how to tolerate Clarkson's behavior. Sure, his shows might be scripted, I find it entertaining. Others may not. Sure, electric vehicles from Tesla were initially not quite good like the misaligned panels on the Model X, but they learned from that, now they are making semis and 1.9 second acceleration vehicles. I like both.
Very slow around a track, understeer, clunky brakes, very heavy, cheap plastic interior, bareley any driving pleasure so i'd say they have a long way to go to appeal to car guys or girls.
Lg.
Who are you???, and when did you do this extensive test of the car YOURSELF???.🤔🤔🤔
And if you have(which I seriously doubt), provide a link to your video of this extensive test, and SHOW the rest of us the extent of your knowledge...unless you are just another keyboard warrior bumping his gums for the sake of it???🤔🤔🤔
Brian Cureton you think i film when i test drive cars? What are you 12, and i'm surprised that you think that understeer is complex and requires extensive testing to discover...... and quite frankly it doen't concern me that you doubt me, but those are my tjoughts on teslas and why i will not be purachsing one.
Lg, so you are a nobody waffling pish then???🤔🤔🤔
Brian Cureton *when you know you lost the argument so bring up a hypocritical/redundant point*
I love how he says "he sued me and lost, and then he appealed again and lost, you know."
I know my question is not relevant here
But I really like the background sound in this video
Can somebody help me in getting the information is what song this has taken from
"Pass the charger, I've got work to get to in three days"?
Most tesla fanboy Here are people that think every tesla was like p100d, fast And quite reliable because they dont even know roadster
Roadster wasnt good car, get over it
jeremy is a true patrol head and doesn't really like electric cars (unless they're really fast and loud like the p1) so that's why he might have given it a bad/fake review.
He doesn’t like electric cars. I don’t think he minds hybrids, neither do I, but I HATE electric cars
He actually likes hybrids and renewable energy cars. I'm a petrol head but I like electric cars too.
Man that last statement , Clarkson wanted to swallow his own tongue.
I get the impression this is a creative cut to distort what he really thinks.
He still knows EVs are dumb, just admitting that they have some child-like novelty that appeals to people.
Love both Top Gear and Elon Musk. I believe Top Gear was probably in the wrong during their review of the original Tesla, but that doesn't stop me from loving the show.
Jeremy Clarkson is a hypocrite.lying about loving electric cars. Plllleeeassssss
He didn't say he loved them, he just said he didn't mind them.
Where can i see this review? Was it top gear episode?
Anyone know the name of the music in the background?
I’ve been looking for the music
Damn he is old.
Age is just a number
This man is not sponsored by BP
Here is your tinfoil hat, that will be 90 dollars please, its branded Tesla so you got to pay extra for the brand name.
just because he hates tesla lmfao. oh shit sorry i forgot we must all love EVS right?
No you've got it wrong he's the most sponsored BP man - In the WORLD.
Correct Top Gear greatest sponsor appears to be SHELL
SMGJohn They were sponsored by Shell and major car companies
Tesla owners be aware of repair time and costs if you are in an accident. It has taken 8 months to get my model S repaired after an accident. No accountability for parts delivery and service was even worse. Body shop blames Tesla and Tesla service centre blames body shop. Repair protocol whether the damage is body or mechanical is still unclear between Tesla service and Tesla body shop. Total repair cost $45000 (paid by insurance ,since it was not our fault) and $20,000 of lease payments paid by us ( insurance does not cover lease or loan payments ) . Hence with a no fault accident we ended up $20,000 cost. Accident date first week of April 2017. Hope to get it back January 2018. Still waiting.
I like you because you are an honest customer
LOLS THE FACE OF JEREMY CLARKSON AFTER HE MADE THE LAST STATEMENT. ROFL LOLS!! DAT BUGGER !! :D :D
I'm glad that the new Tesla fan boys have found their new leader once Jobs passed away. It's like Tesla can't do anything wrong.
Logan 1664 Maybe because a Top level Tesla beats almost every Exotic car in a drag race while being a family sedan at the same time??
Logan 1664 The Tesla fans are the way that they are not because they love Tesla but because the cars that they produce are really good and fast. If Tesla stops making good cars the fans will go somewhere else
Logan 1664 Think what you want. Tesla didn't just have a lot of customers when they first launched their company. They proved themselves and showed people that electric cars can be great with the Model S
Logan 1664 Everything that they have put out has been good so far, so how do we know that they will accept a bad car?
When they get their car in three years time?
I don't know anything ..but I love this guy..
For a car enthusiast, an electric car is not different than a tram. It has no sound, no engine rev, no RPM nothing. It is basically ON-OFF thing. Gas pedal is a switch, you press and it goes, quiet. It takes everything away what makes a car fun.... It is very hard to like a tesla. I wish that we would keep both electric and petrol cars at the same time instead of "trying to get rid of" petrol cars. Because we have to respect other people's taste too...
Clarkson's brain uses petrol I think, when the rest of the world's brains use electricity lol.
Well i found one thing more anoying about tesla fanboys and thats petrol fanboys crying about tesla fanboys
Nick Karsten i like tesla butt is still thin that their cars are far far far from perfect.
They should make their look like it was build by germans
And there's an even more annoying thing than that, and that is people crying about petrol fanboys crying about Tesla fanboys.
And there's an even more annoying thing than that, and that is people crying about people crying about petrol fanboys crying about Tesla fanboys.
David Loyer and there is even one thing more annoying than fanboy fanboys crying about fanboys who cry about petrol fanboys crying about tesla fanboys
I think Hybrid will always be best, in the way Ferrari does it. Boost with electricity generated from braking, pure horsepower and speed from petrol
Gotta love comment section
Elon lost but you all still thinks he was right
So what, even judge is top gear fan and tesla hater or Elon was wrong?
That face at the end, a beaten old man that has lost a long battle to defend his toys
Link to that charger plz
Clarkson confirmed pewdipie supporter
Top Gear was sued because they scripted a breakdown that didnt happen. They also acknowledged this in the trial. But Tesla lost cause Top Gear is an entertainment show. But the fact still remains. The breakdown was scripted, made up, to make Tesla look bad, and give the petrol heads stuff to laugh about. So i understand why Tesla got pissed.
They scripted "what would happen IF the car ran out of charge". The original Roadster running out of charge was a reasonable scenario to explore.(Considering charging stations were not as available way back then as now.)
Plus, build quality really was really bad and it handled like shopping trolley. (still somewhat true today)
Scripting a scenario where a car runs out of fuel for demonstration purposes is not unlawful. Hence the reason Musk lost...twice. I like the guy but this was childish...Trump-like even.
They said the car had failed and in fact it hadnt and when they got sued they said "we're an entertainment program not a factual show" and thats how they won in court.
