@Stimpy&Ren You are shifting the goalposts. Tesla proves that well-managed EV batteries can have great longevity. It's not like mobile phones that need replacing every 3 years due to loss of capacity. Tesla depreciation is low; resale values are high. So instead you talk about range anxiety. Yes, we all know that EV range is inferior to ICE range. EVs are great for moderate daily use. But if you're going to be frequently driving 250+ miles in a hurry and can't afford to stop for 20 minutes at a fast charger, perhaps an EV isn't for you. As for the BMW X5 hybrid, I actually agree with you. I can't recommend a hybrid power train. Just get an electric power train. Either a pure EV, or if you still want petrol as a backup, get a range extender option like on the BMW i3 or Vauxhall Ampera.

That was the X-mas card from 2016. The audio in this clip has been dubbed over due to copyright issues. Just search "model x-mas" and you will see the original.
There is also a "Brake Regen" mode that when you let off the gas pedal, the motor will brake and allow a certain percentage back into the batteries.. Something you need to get used to, and does not take long. In short is saves money on brake usage and therefore longer to need to change brakes,,,
As already mentioned, that's existed beforehand, but it is still very useful. Non-electric cars would use it to charge up the car's battery, and the same principle can also be applied to electric cars (obviously).

I am curios what the car does if you enter IDKFA
@@Beethoven80 What about IDCLIP?
i hate to be the 'actually' guy, but actually it was 'can i play daddy', 'don't hurt me', 'bring it on' and 'i am death incarnate!'
@@therealmbassy Don't hate being right, I stand corrected. I wonder where I got the "I want my Mommy" though... maybe it was a choice in a EU shareware version or something, but you're probably right. And the other one was wrong too, it was "Bring 'em on".
Jeremy - "I'm doing 34mph!"
Lawyer - "...at the moment..."
He certainly drew what was on his mind!!!
1:04 "Draw pretty patterns and so on"

@@cormacdonnelly5015 it was written in the script that they were to fake the amount of charge of the battery to make it look worse.
They completly missed a great Segway wish would be the lawyer opening the falcon wing doors with no problem even in that small space.

Those are wing doors, not Lambo Doors. Wingdoors have the hinge on the roof, so first it swings outside as you can see st 6:58
@@martinwulf7251 they are double hinged
They can open if that right space... Just look online for the Tesla X presentation and they show how it can easily open in that space
Ooh good point
If jezza calls anything “astonishing” you know it’s special
True!!
the idea is superb but the execution lacks imo. Granted Tesla is the first EV company to do it so that says something.
he calls alfa romeo astonishing but the cars he drives really sucks
No
Actually that's typical Jeremy drama...but it has some truth or it wouldn't even be funny.

@@jasonsimms4238 Good point that not many people know. The first cars built were electric and had solar panels as well.
Then combustible engines came around and, yeah.
@@CyrusEpion You guys don't realise that it's not just the fact that the cars are electric powered. It's the fact that they have no soul and the styling is so unbelievably bland that there is nothing that would make a petrolhead love the car. It's just like a very good fridge or phone or something. You appreciate what it can do, but you don't love it.
9:35 notice how Jeremy defends his friend/coleague Richard Hammomd. I love the seriousness of his voice when he confronted that lawyer
think that was actually an excuse to make a short joke. not a defence
you do realize those are just actors and this is all scripted, right?
Am I the only one that was expecting Jeremy to put the car in dog mode when he left the lawyers inside?
Nope same here
I’m pretty sure in 2017 that mode wasn’t in the car yet
doggo mode is for good boys, they'd need shark mode come on

seems like a complete 180 to his previous tesla review.
I mean, they really have come a long way. The Roadstar was a lotus with a battery and electric motors stuffed inside...
Also he was able to give his honest opinion. The Gt is a lot less scripted than top gear. The three have said that themselves. The jokes aren’t planned and the pranks are real.
Tesla paid him this time
It was a script (payed by oil company) to show electricit cars failed. Tesla loss the law suits, but the judged agrees top gear is entertainment an they made tesla look bad for entertainment purpose
@@grodt88 Highly doubt it as it’s highly illegal not clarify if they have been given financial incentives. I have one, and it’s a dream. Highly recommend!
What’s funny is my dad actually owned that exact r8 but he gave back to Audi and swapped for a different one since surprisingly it had some gearbox issues

@@martinwulf7251 The Model X doors actually sense if they are about to hit something, so they would stop opening before touching another vehicle.

Changed his tune since the roadster release hasn’t he.
No he hasn't. Tesla have changed the car.
The first time they actually faked the battery running out as it was actually written in the script.
Even elon thinks the roadster was a terrible car and said it was a terrible way of making an electric car, altho the review was staged it was more honest than most

The fact that they poked fun at the first tesla test with the lawyers is brilliant
I love how Tesla, while obviously being at the edge of motor vehicle technology, does not take itself too seriously. Celebration mode? Genius :)

Lost my shit as soon as lawyers appeared🤣🤣
That lawyer with the purple blazer and glasses is fire 😆
She could make Latin terms and legal jargon entertaining for me
glad i'm not the only one
There is also a "Brake Regen" mode that when you let off the gas pedal, the motor will brake and allow a certain percentage back into the batteries.. Something you need to get used to, and does not take long. In short is saves money on brake usage and therefore longer to need to change brakes,,,
That’s existed for forever though on many many other cars
Only took me about 2 days to get use to it, now I rarely touch the brake pedal until I’m down to 5 MPH.
That's nothing new, hybrids used this system long before tesla mady any vehicles you'd actually want to buy
As already mentioned, that's existed beforehand, but it is still very useful. Non-electric cars would use it to charge up the car's battery, and the same principle can also be applied to electric cars (obviously).
That's not a "gas pedal", don't you know anything about cats? It's an accelerator. It's literally an electric car, it doesn't run on petrol.
"I mean, it can't extricate itself from a parking space."
This must be old footage, Teslas have been able to do this for awhile now.
yeah, this video is many years old. I was tricked into thinking this was a legit channel as well.

Jeremy: This may be a 2.5 ton Playstation
PS5: hold my beer
They use these as taxis in Amsterdam - the only real problem with the gull-wing doors is that if it's raining, the rain comes straight in through the open roof when the doors are up, soaking the seats before you get in...
Wow...can’t believe they didn’t see that issue in production design lol
At the drag race part I'm surprised Jezza Didn't say "This thing just f*cks off"
1:05 of all the things you could have drawn... and you even made it shoot a whoooah!!!~! You're definitely an adult level teacher lol

Love how the lawyers had to be there because elon tried to sue him last time for talking rubbish lol
I think it was more than negative talk they said the car broke down in the middle of testing which was a lie according to Elon
@@iutub619 sure the guy who’s reputation is on the line says they lie lol
@@iutub619 It was actually proven as a lie and the script itself was leaked, but lawsuit failed because it was about defamation and tesla could not prove that it actually hurt their sales.
@@Phantogram2 It was only proven to idiots who don't understand how films are made. They worked out its range on the track and said that was what it was, the stopped the car to demonstrate that in a safe and film-able way. Otherwise they would have had to film and hope that the camera was in just the right place on the track when the car did run out of juice which would be a pretty stupid way of filming. This is like moaning about when they showed the problem with pick ups in the UK that the thief who nicked stuff from the back was an actor or that when testing track cars they deliberately chose a wet day to show the problem of them as everyday cars.

Amazon is in direct competition with Tesla, why would they lie when it clearly does not benefit them?
Tesla has not spent any money on advertising (which this would fall under) since it was founded.
So no, he is not forced to say any of it.
