A few corrections in the video - 2:15 - Clarkson didn't say the battery was the size of a watermelon. He said the motor was. 0:32 - Subtitle is slightly wrong And yes, I accidently refer to EV's as "Electronic" a couple times - I just misspoke lol
"ninety-thousand pounds" is also _not_ "three times more expensive" than £32k. It's _two times more_ than that, or _three times as_ that. Because that's what those words mean in the English language to those who learned it formally in an intact education system, not in a pub between two pints of Strongbow watered down with orange bubbly.
It is possible the fuse for the ABS had blown, in which case the brakes still work, just without the extra protection of ABS. That would cause a "ABS Brake Failure" warning on the dashboard and that could be what they meant by "broke". Or it could have been part of the regenerative braking that EVs have, with the same warning message.
Did you catch Elon lying to Joe about the ‘script’? He said the brake failure was written into the script in advance yet his PR person acknowledged the brake failure was a blown fuse. Which is it Elon?
I cba to rewatch, but I'm fairly certain it was 2 separate things. The brake failure was real, battery failure was not. Elon is referring to a script where the car breaks down (battery drained)
@@harrydavey9884even still, the test was to run it until it went flat, the battery failure would be in the script as that was the expected outcome the only thing that would raise a flag is if it said "earlier than expected" in the script as well
(1) The fuse could have made part of script cuz TG must have stats of this fuse/brake and obviously u cannot make it fail in program but have to be realized to public. also the ever aww so inspiringly simply replaceable fuse will get it turn when the car survives the whole failure of break system because of this just simple fuse (2) BBC/TG/British-Courts stance is rightly similar as Toyota's stance on EVs .. i dont know how many people here in comments know the infamous the Toyota's 17 points factsheet against EVs ... like (a) takes 3 cars price to make one (b) no repair shops wants to go through legalities of fixes even if they can (c) car showroom trail runs have been charged to test-driver for car's own faults during test drive (d) with all passengers in the car; legal luggage limit is just ~13kg (e) FSD etc features remote locking and customer blacklisting where abuser just sold it further not letting the next buyer know if remote locks/restrictions (f) "Combustion" Hydrogen (ICE like) cars are now around the corner (not old way of hydrogen > generator > EV/current) and ICE like "Combustion" Hydrogen engines are not space age for Toyota since 1990s CNG/LPG gas cylinder in trunk ICE engine cars/sedans/vans have been running a lot of parts of world... in summary Hydrogen method is just safer cylinder in trunk or floor, safer injectors and democratization of now already feasible Hydrogen stations.... P.S: on Musks own other projects ... (1) raptor blowing up on ~30 vs just 5 fails despite all the AI machoness for steering etc... if we do the math all raptor worshippers and on spot/tv science pundits will get slapped that remaining engines with AI compensating for loss could have enough thrust "numbers" to land it back to pad (2) how he kept requesting warren buffett to invest in invest in tesla stocks but he didnt ... clearly as recently ford has disclosed EVs are years away to turn profit on ~$30k cars (3) dishonest bad mouthing over lidar (i know lidar fail in say rain as droplets reduce range) but dishonestly praising only cameras is actually hiding his stealth/undercover dabbling/pondering/research into HyperSpectral cameras (n compacting foliage, ground penetrating radars) to later brag in usual style.. wasnt i telling cameras n not lidars r the way. HyperSpectral cameras can identify compounds better like asphalt light spectrum will help in tracing dust/sand covered roads better instead looking for landmarks where the road is going ... also the traffic signal's unique (florescent) red/green/orange light signature. So again in his disonesty he is just bashing very narrow half truth and deflecting ppl by not letting any air of what he could be up to. (4) and his smoking "freedom" in corporate meetings pretend he's taboos slayer (5) so he thinks he is smart/inspirational/motivational speaker with millions of twitter sheeps/followers but he is actaully a dishonest person

I'm a Tesla fan AND a car fan. 22 years of track day instructor history, many very nice to drive German cars 2002tii, 2 M3s, a 911SC, a Cayman S, a 911 Carrera T and my current Cayman GTS, all manual trans. I discovered bikes and sport-touring 20 years back and the car thing just seemed like a very bad value for the fun it offered. Still really like cars, but more for fast touring than for track days and such. I got a '24 Model 3 Dual Motor this April. Since then the Cayman GTS just sits up on the lift these days. Maybe that'll change, but for now, I'm really liking and preferring the Tesla. Haven't been this geeked about a new car in many years. They're great.
Sorry but you cannot charge a Tesla roadster in 3.5 hours from a 13 amp, it’s not physically possible. 13amps x 230volts x 3.5 hours is no where near the battery capacity. 10.5 kWh available vs 56 kWh battery. Sory Tesla. You are lying.
They said in an industrial shed workshop 3 phase power is avalible 22 kw 22 x 3 hours is 66 kwh well above 56 kwh and under 3 hours I have 3 phase power in my house and have a 22 kw power socket in the shed and a Tesla model 3 performance with a 72 kwh battery under 4 hours if needed.

@@G82Watts He just had a new top gear guy on his podcast (no idea who he is) and he talked about how many petrol cars he has and that the ICE car ban coming isn't right
As a 35 year veteran in the automotive trade I can say that EVs are necessary in the long run but the battery, power generation and charging technology isn't yet up to scratch. And of course Elon Musk is more a cult leader than a genuine engineer.
Longevity of single units is my biggest gripe. 7 year non recyclable batteries and the target market being the types to flog the car off as soon as warranty expires is gonna lead to a lot of landfill and strenuous mining. Compare that do Old McDonald driving his original J70 Landcruiser from 40 years ago. I want to see it succeed but EVs being marketed like iPhones is a big brown stain on the concept.
It is hilarious listening to Elon on Joe Rogan claiming the car didn't break down on the top gear episode when Tesla's own spokesperson came out and said it was "just a blown fuse". That sounds like a breakdown to me...
@@bowman1248a brake failure is a breakdown. Also I’m a bit surprised that an electrical fault can cause the brakes to fail. That seems quite dangerous to me.

@@fgeiger41 all the journalists that he banned from twitter because they wrote the truth about him.. that's a good start. Feel free to google it he has done it multiple times since he acquired twitter
I doubt the script being left out for a engineer of Tesla to see, even by mistake. If that did happen, why did the engineer not report this to Tesla and why wouldn't Tesla make a public statement before the episode airs? There is a good gap between the episodes being filmed to the episodes airing so what's the issue? They might of been small but all the more they could "predict" the outcome with proof, not only giving them cause but proving the reviews and such are fixed before its even tested. Yet... nobody mentioned this ever until years later? Even in the court case?? Come on, i struggle to believe anyone would be so uninterested in their own brand going under before it has chance to shine for no given reason.
Elon Musk at first just dismissed Clarkson's review for what it was: a hilarious comment of a self-proclaimed petrolhead on what obviously was an EV that still had some significant problems that had yet to be ironed out. The lawsuit came when Musk realised years later that Clarkson's review was actually costing Tesla sales and at that time Tesla desperately needed sales to counter the ever present losses.
so they're telling me, that they saw the script trying to sabotage the company but still proceed to greenlight the review?? it just doesn't make any sense.
@@tjroelsma just on the fact he lost both times shows he said nothing wrong or incorrect about the car. its just like big names like Bugatti and Lambo go after car wow because they cant stand any level of criticism
1:07 His opinion here is exactly what I thought of, too. If everyone in the world starts using electric vehicles, it will reduce smog in cities, yes. But is it environmentally better in the long run? I don't think so. Until the whole power grid starts using renewables and nickel mining becomes less dirty, electric cars and normal cars have the same impact on the environment. At least to me.
I don't agree with this argument because my angle is about efficiency. If I took a liter of oil and converted it to gas and put it a car. How efficient is that process vs putting it in a power generator and using that power to run my car? I would hope that the electrical gernator would be more efficient then a car from today in terms of power generated per liter of fuel
The mining alone is wicked bad for EVs not to mention the lithium batteries that have a 7 year lifespan and can’t be recycled. Most charging stations are ran off coal driven power grids and remote ones tend to be diesel generators. Efficiency is only really arguable in the short term especially when the core design of EVs are extraordinarily under a dispose and replace design. My 1985 Corolla running off all original motor and transmission parts is still going strong and efficient.
@ChubbsterBrown I currently have an ev that's 9 year old and the battery degraded by like 30% and this was one of the first Evs (Nissan leaf). Also which mining are you talking about? What materials?
@@ChubbsterBrownMost power grids in the western world (where the vast majority of EVs are sold) run off of a combination of natural gas (which is much cleaner than burning gasoline), Nuclear, and Renewables.
Even 20 years ago it was clear that Top Gear is a reality-style sketch comedy show. Everything is a bit. Ppl taking Clarkson seriously, and especially Joe and Elon acting like it was a huge blow, is just insane.
Top Gear is a bit like UK satirical magazine Private Eye. If you read the Eye you know there are clearly made up satirical articles and there are serious investigative journalism articles. And you always know which sections of the magazine are the serious ones and which are the satirical ones. So yes we all know TG was scripted and lots of it is done for comedy, but fundamentally if they test a new hypercar and say it will do 200mph then that is taken as a fact. I was a huge fan of the Clarkson/Hammond/May era TG but the fact is he very much had an agenda against EVs and hybrids and frequently stretched the truth or all out misled viewers to portray them in a negative light. Showing the Tesla running out of power and having to be pushed is one example. (Though racing around a track is HUGELY fuel hungry whatever the car runs on. The Elise in that test probably average 5mpg) They "tested" a Prius by having it drive around the track flat out and having a BMW M3 follow it, and compared fuel consumption, which is a staggeringly stupid and pointless test. The benefit of hybrids is in city stop start traffic. Driving flat out they are just an ICE car. What did that "test" prove? Did they do a follow up where both cars were driven across Londin in rush hour and compare THAT fuel consumption? Of course not. They tested a Nissan Leaf in the north of England and showed it running out of battery, when we later found out that they actually STARTED the trip with the battery only half charged, with viewers given the impression it was fully charged. They have done a couple of hypermiling features to show how economical petrol cars can be, driving an Audi from London to Scotland and back on one tank of petrol, and a cross Europe trip with a Jaguar and a VW, with Jeremy driving carefully to show how far you can go on one tank. Yet again, no similar feature with an EV showing how far one of them can go on one charge.
and every joke has a kernel of truth. Thats what makes it fun and its the very basis of a good sketch show, and that includes top gear for that matter. The humor isnt the criticism, but the lies presented as the kernel of truth
@@karlbassett8485 *Exactly.* There was *no way* to know whether Top Gear was lying or not. In fact, even though I know it's an entertainment show, I would have thought that the Tesla really did what they said it did if I didn't hear that the review was false. It really is shameful that you can't trust a popular show to be honest in their review of a car.
if they are a comedy show than they have no buissness making a car review and elon should be sueing them because they just do it to make elon look bad🤦♂️
especially cuz they talked about how much scripting they actually do and most of it not even being scripted, just some headpointers basicly what they want to talk about and show and the rest is just them being them
@@VideosNoOneIf you watch really early Episodes of the Clarkson, Hammond and May Top Gear, they also did no-nonsense review. This was until about Season 7 when they doubled down on the "ambitious but rubbish" theme.
Jeremy shouldn't be referring to his show as having "reviews" then. The problem I have is in interviews he uses terminology like reviews and in court he uses terminology like skits.
Top Gear was right , The down turn in EVs worldwide buy the ordinary motoring public is evident , Most car companies have stopped with the 'All EVs buy 2030' My local dealer refuses to have them on his lot "No one wants to pay the high prices & NO ONE WANTs a SECONDHAND ONE"... NO ONE ?
I've never even heard/seen evidence of second hand EV's, mainly due to the cost being somehow more expensive that buying one brand spankers (when talking about replacing the battery).
depends how much they saw. As i understand they maybe saw a page, so seeing a staged bit about a break down, doesnt means thats the moral of the story; just part of a gag. Would you go the the BBC and say, "hey dont make fun of or with our car" or let them do their thing. And obviously musk understood it himself, but turns out, a lot more people do take the show serious
Which becomes even more embarrassing when considering the BILLIONS of tax-dollars Tesla received to "revolutionize" the industry and almost every single one of these dollars ended up getting completely wasted or inside of Elons pockets, making him the richest man alive (for a short period) - due to money being thrown at him that was actually earned by people working real jobs. Nurses, doctors, engineers, caretakers, mechanics, retail workers, etc.... They earned the money that Musk, a narcissistic, manipulative and i.m.o. outright criminal person, now uses to shape politics and laws to his favor.
@@psy999 Well... Tesla goal is to Pump and Dump. They don't want to sell car... Just this week end Elonia talk about 21 trillions robots on Mars... Ponzi then, Ponzi now...
I'll be honest, i had taken Musk's side back when this aired, because it felt a bit too convenient for that many things to go wrong with a car during a shoot. But seeing Tesla over the years, i think i owe Clarkson an apology for ever doubting him.😂😂😂
@iPat6G No, OPs point is thar Musk never gave and never will give a fck about freedom of speech. Its just advantageous for his future scams ti act like he does.

Also the law in england is different yes, but Musk still had NO basis for a lawsuit whatsoever as everything said is protected by law.
@@12thMandalorian ... did you watch the video? They won, not because they proved they didn't lie, but because it was ruled it wouldn't be taken seriously.
Kinda funny. Tesla says the brake failure *did* happen but wasn't that bad. Then Elon says the brake failure did *not* happen and that it was part of this "script". Pick an option lmao, they cant both be true
I noticed that. Plus, as others have said, if the Tesla guy saw this script when dropping the car off why didn't Tesla act then? That would have been months before it aired. Why not refuse to hand the car over? Or have lawyers contact the BBC before it aired to stop them showing the car "breaking down"? Why not even mention it until years later?
I think the scripted breakdown was strictly in reference to the battery depletion. It’s a big gap in time too so it’s no surprise a jaded man might be a bit hyperbolic. I mean the idea of an engineer delivering a car having access to a script, reading enough of it to see a planned failure and not raising it during a libel case is so far in the realm of BS you can’t really take any of what Elon says without a heavy dose of scrutiny.
2:53 I see absolutly no problem with the fact taht the electricity is produced by a nuclear power plant, it's still the best solution in terms of security (including Chernobyl and Fukushima) and CO2 emission.
Seeing these old clips remind you that Elon was once sane and reasonable, or at least managed to look that way in public. The last few years he's gone way overboard. Telling Twitter advertisers to "f*ck off", and then a year later threatening to sue them for f*cking off for example.
@@karlbassett8485 "unhinged" Elon is on a really slippery slope. Can't imagine the damage he could do if placed in charge of governing something public.

They don't even have thermal fuses like a conventional car. If a circuit is overloaded the virtual fuse will reset itself once the overload condition has stopped. Virtual fuses are not new technology. They've been used in aircraft like the 787 and the first flight of the 787 happened 15 years ago. The actual design of the 787 is much older still.
Jeremy’s pet peeve isn’t electric cars. It’s an electric car that tries to take the ownership away from the actual owner. Everyone of these electric cars have to be connected to a server or else the car won’t run. They always have to receive updates or the car won’t run if you’re able to keep your car running perfectly with the updates then when there’s an emergency and power goes out or there’s a blizzard your car won’t run if you have no power for three or four days your car runs out after day one, then you have no way to charge your car…. if none of that bother you, the fact that you spending about $100,000 on an electric car that at best and this is literally the best case scenario you will get maybe 10 years out of the battery that car has at which point you’ll have to spend at least 60% the value of the car to receive a new battery, every 10 years you will have to essentially buy a new car because you own an electric car …. so there’s no chance you would ever be able to pass down your electric kids and there would be no way to have a car last long-term anyway because these all need software updates and batteries somehow magically lasted for 20 years. The software would not be supported at that point in the car still wouldn’t start so these are just a scam. It’s a scam for them to be able to get more money out of you on a more regular basis so we use your brain buy something reliable like a Honda or Toyota gas powered and support those companies cause they actually care about the customer

@lewishamilton.f1.44 I'm no Musk fan, but it's utter insanity to think kids should be pushed into transgenderism. 30 year old studies aside, thankfully more recent studies have shown the same results that "trans" kids nearly always grow out of it and regret their decision. Not to mention the horrific side effects of hormone blockers and I won't even get into the absolute unethical "surgeries" that are just body mutilation. Stop supporting this insanity. Do ACTUAL RESEARCH on the topic and stop listening to people that are LYING because they want everyone else to accept their delusion. - a former trans.
You have to remember the original show came out in 2008. Back then Tesla would have provided a level 1 charger as level 2 chargers were still very rare, making the charging time 12-16 hours, even on the small battery of the roadster. The Tesla lawyer said it should take 3 - 3 1/2 hours which might have been done on a level 2, but not on a level 1 charger. One of Jeremy's main complaints is that when you put your foot down hard, like on a race track, the battery drained really quickly. EV's have gotten better, but in 2008 that was a real problem.
It's kind of ironic that Elon says Clarkson hates Americans and American cars when Elon Musk is in fact not American. Funny how that works.............
Technically he IS American as he has been an American citizen for years now. He was born in South Africa, moved to Canada as a teen then to the US where he has since become an American citizen.

Musk seems extremely insecure and it makes sense when you look at the history of “his” companies and how he hasn’t really founded any of them. I think he would be a lot more likeable if he chose to be genuine and embrace his flaws rather than act insecure and defensive about anything bad said against him or his companies. Also, Tesla seeing Top Gear’s script HAS to be a lie. Why would they still lend them the car for the review if they knew what was coming? Such a dumb story. Love that Joe Rogan says he’s a huge Top Gear fan and then proceeds to not know where the hosts ended up lol.
Yeeaah right! If you want to work at a Tesla workshop in Sweden you have to sign a 40-70 pages long complicated contract (standard in Sweden is at most 2 pages). You have to agree to lifetime secrecy and are prohibited to ever talk about Tesla for eternity. If you invent something, even if you have left Tesla, Tesla has the right to all your inventions for the rest of your life. Are you f-ing kidding me about free speech? Musk and a lot of US big business tycoons belong in mental asylums. Someone said Bezos? Wait, I did. And this is the type of leaders many US citizens admire? Shame on you!
We should point out Teslas official submission in court was that the brakes failed due to a fuse and it was quick to fix and then Elon says that that was actually scripted on a podcast. I can actually understand the confusion here because the average top gear episode is generally more accurate than anything he says.
It's especially funny he used a picture of an upset Great Thunberg, despite the fact that she's publicly advocated for more nuclear power adoption on multiple occasions.
This is true, if we really cared about the environment we would invest and research nuclear power more heavily, large amounts of power with zero carbon footprint wind and solar power are conditional and do not produce anywhere near enough energy to power a country, France runs on something like 60% nuclear
@@non-fictionaltoughguy1208 please explain. We have no clue of what to do with nuclear waste except than putting it underground. Rather than using an ad-hominem argument you could have said the solution. The latest plans to build nuclear power plants where so expensive, that many projects got cancelled or delayed for many years. Germany shows that you don't need nuclear power plants. If our taxes and fees on electricity weren't so high, we would have pretty cheap electricity. Solar and Wind produce over 50-60 % of our needed energy. If we had invested in good storage technologies, it would be probably much higher.

The fact that the energy was coming from a nuclear power plant was actually a huge win for the environment! I mean, imagine if it came from a coal-fired power station, like in most cases (speaking of central europe). Nuclear energy is our future. It's clean, it's relatively safe, and it's efficient as hell.
Strange how inthe Rogan "interview" there was suddenly a script, which was never brought up in any of the court cases by Elons side. But according to the BBCs Top Gear Team the script for each episode was not finalised until they actually had everything filmed with it evolving throughout the filming. So i call utter bullsh*t on Elons claims made in that interview.
The engineer delivering the car and getting his hand on the script to read it also sounded weird. Still the story is incomplete and there is definitely someone lying about some stuff.

2:13 - It's a MOTOR the size of a watermelon, not a battery.... 2:44 - what is wrong with electricity from a nuclear power station? Nuclear energy is literally the most environmentally friendly from cradle to grave. "Electronic cars" Not a big Tesla fan, but I have so many issues with this video
Because environmentalists don't understand how nuclear power works. They think it's just as bad as coal and constantly point at Chernobyl as to why "nuke bad". They've had that attitude for decades and "green" organizations or political parties have shut down multiple nuclear power plants. That's why Jeremy pointed that out.
@antonmartnitz6598 the power station featured in the clip is not a nuclear power station, it’s didcot power station a coal and gas fired power station. It’s not just nuclear power stations that have cooling towers.
@@kapralas Nuclear energy being so feared in 2008 ... the green parties of Europe have done more damage for sustainable power than any other ideological actors towards it, it's so ridiculous in retrospect. Not that Clarkson is a fan of those parties, but it's a "even they said it" kind of thing
the issue is with looking back on electric cars on TG was that the 2 major cars they focused on was the tesla roadster and the G wiz, then later a few other random ones but it was still a time when you needed to plug it in a wall charger that took like 15 hours and the other option was the Prius, and that jonathon ross clip is from that era too, since then jeremy has given better views and james and richard both own a electric car
11:25 I don't believe that any of this happened because I couldn't see them letting a Tesla employee read the script and be like nope nope you don't get to touch that
Agreed. If he was just the deliverer he’d have signed off and departed basically asap. In slim chance he was allowed to stay or had to wait to take it back, he’d be left on the sidelines well away from any sensitive materials like a script. Film crews wouldn’t give 2 shits about accommodating someone like that.
If that script really did say that the tesla was planned to break down, then why wouldn't have Tesla asked for Clarkson's defence lawyers to turn it over as evidence during the liable case? As the lawyers' would have been obligated to comply, and it's a very strong piece of evidence in Tesla's favour.
The up front environmental cost of an electric car is higher than a gas car but not by much. Over the lifetime of the two an electric car is FAR greener
I love Top Gear and the lads, but they staged the "breakdown" and they ONLY won the court case because they judge ruled that no one is stupid enough to seriously take car advice from the show 😂
They lost the lible case not because the Tesla review was falsified (the facts proved that), but because the Court found that the show was not a news show but rather pure entertainment - something that viewers knew.
Elon handled this so poorly... He should have gone on the show with them and joked about these things. He would have seemed more credible and relatable.
A few corrections in the video -
2:15 - Clarkson didn't say the battery was the size of a watermelon. He said the motor was.
0:32 - Subtitle is slightly wrong

The brake failure was 'nothing more than a blown fuse' ?????? The brakes fail if a fuse blows ?? I really don't want that.
It’s just a fuse, you’ll tumble softly down the canyon.
It is possible the fuse for the ABS had blown, in which case the brakes still work, just without the extra protection of ABS. That would cause a "ABS Brake Failure" warning on the dashboard and that could be what they meant by "broke". Or it could have been part of the regenerative braking that EVs have, with the same warning message.
Little corrosion on a terminal -- boom.
How would an electrical system work without power? How would you connect a system that uses that much power without using a fuse?
@@Klont123 but in a few minutes you can swap the fuse and your batteries will work again! 😂
Did you catch Elon lying to Joe about the ‘script’? He said the brake failure was written into the script in advance yet his PR person acknowledged the brake failure was a blown fuse. Which is it Elon?
I cba to rewatch, but I'm fairly certain it was 2 separate things. The brake failure was real, battery failure was not. Elon is referring to a script where the car breaks down (battery drained)
....the EV madness must go on, a one way street into enslavement!
@@harrydavey9884even still, the test was to run it until it went flat, the battery failure would be in the script as that was the expected outcome the only thing that would raise a flag is if it said "earlier than expected" in the script as well
(1) The fuse could have made part of script cuz TG must have stats of this fuse/brake and obviously u cannot make it fail in program but have to be realized to public. also the ever aww so inspiringly simply replaceable fuse will get it turn when the car survives the whole failure of break system because of this just simple fuse (2) BBC/TG/British-Courts stance is rightly similar as Toyota's stance on EVs .. i dont know how many people here in comments know the infamous the Toyota's 17 points factsheet against EVs ... like (a) takes 3 cars price to make one (b) no repair shops wants to go through legalities of fixes even if they can (c) car showroom trail runs have been charged to test-driver for car's own faults during test drive (d) with all passengers in the car; legal luggage limit is just ~13kg (e) FSD etc features remote locking and customer blacklisting where abuser just sold it further not letting the next buyer know if remote locks/restrictions (f) "Combustion" Hydrogen (ICE like) cars are now around the corner (not old way of hydrogen > generator > EV/current) and ICE like "Combustion" Hydrogen engines are not space age for Toyota since 1990s CNG/LPG gas cylinder in trunk ICE engine cars/sedans/vans have been running a lot of parts of world... in summary Hydrogen method is just safer cylinder in trunk or floor, safer injectors and democratization of now already feasible Hydrogen stations.... P.S: on Musks own other projects ... (1) raptor blowing up on ~30 vs just 5 fails despite all the AI machoness for steering etc... if we do the math all raptor worshippers and on spot/tv science pundits will get slapped that remaining engines with AI compensating for loss could have enough thrust "numbers" to land it back to pad (2) how he kept requesting warren buffett to invest in invest in tesla stocks but he didnt ... clearly as recently ford has disclosed EVs are years away to turn profit on ~$30k cars (3) dishonest bad mouthing over lidar (i know lidar fail in say rain as droplets reduce range) but dishonestly praising only cameras is actually hiding his stealth/undercover dabbling/pondering/research into HyperSpectral cameras (n compacting foliage, ground penetrating radars) to later brag in usual style.. wasnt i telling cameras n not lidars r the way. HyperSpectral cameras can identify compounds better like asphalt light spectrum will help in tracing dust/sand covered roads better instead looking for landmarks where the road is going ... also the traffic signal's unique (florescent) red/green/orange light signature.

Sorry but you cannot charge a Tesla roadster in 3.5 hours from a 13 amp, it’s not physically possible. 13amps x 230volts x 3.5 hours is no where near the battery capacity. 10.5 kWh available vs 56 kWh battery. Sory Tesla. You are lying.

They said clearly from a common wall socket which is NOT 3 phase.Remember when the show was aired almost no one had 3 phase domestic mains.

As a 35 year veteran in the automotive trade I can say that EVs are necessary in the long run but the battery, power generation and charging technology isn't yet up to scratch. And of course Elon Musk is more a cult leader than a genuine engineer.
Longevity of single units is my biggest gripe. 7 year non recyclable batteries and the target market being the types to flog the car off as soon as warranty expires is gonna lead to a lot of landfill and strenuous mining.
Compare that do Old McDonald driving his original J70 Landcruiser from 40 years ago. I want to see it succeed but EVs being marketed like iPhones is a big brown stain on the concept.
It is hilarious listening to Elon on Joe Rogan claiming the car didn't break down on the top gear episode when Tesla's own spokesperson came out and said it was "just a blown fuse". That sounds like a breakdown to me...

I doubt the script being left out for a engineer of Tesla to see, even by mistake. If that did happen, why did the engineer not report this to Tesla and why wouldn't Tesla make a public statement before the episode airs? There is a good gap between the episodes being filmed to the episodes airing so what's the issue? They might of been small but all the more they could "predict" the outcome with proof, not only giving them cause but proving the reviews and such are fixed before its even tested. Yet... nobody mentioned this ever until years later? Even in the court case?? Come on, i struggle to believe anyone would be so uninterested in their own brand going under before it has chance to shine for no given reason.
Elon Musk at first just dismissed Clarkson's review for what it was: a hilarious comment of a self-proclaimed petrolhead on what obviously was an EV that still had some significant problems that had yet to be ironed out. The lawsuit came when Musk realised years later that Clarkson's review was actually costing Tesla sales and at that time Tesla desperately needed sales to counter the ever present losses.
so they're telling me, that they saw the script trying to sabotage the company but still proceed to greenlight the review?? it just doesn't make any sense.

1:07 His opinion here is exactly what I thought of, too. If everyone in the world starts using electric vehicles, it will reduce smog in cities, yes. But is it environmentally better in the long run? I don't think so. Until the whole power grid starts using renewables and nickel mining becomes less dirty, electric cars and normal cars have the same impact on the environment. At least to me.
I don't agree with this argument because my angle is about efficiency. If I took a liter of oil and converted it to gas and put it a car. How efficient is that process vs putting it in a power generator and using that power to run my car? I would hope that the electrical gernator would be more efficient then a car from today in terms of power generated per liter of fuel
The mining alone is wicked bad for EVs not to mention the lithium batteries that have a 7 year lifespan and can’t be recycled.
Most charging stations are ran off coal driven power grids and remote ones tend to be diesel generators.
Efficiency is only really arguable in the short term especially when the core design of EVs are extraordinarily under a dispose and replace design.
My 1985 Corolla running off all original motor and transmission parts is still going strong and efficient.
@ChubbsterBrown I currently have an ev that's 9 year old and the battery degraded by like 30% and this was one of the first Evs (Nissan leaf). Also which mining are you talking about? What materials?
@glennarens81 lithium mining.
@@ChubbsterBrownMost power grids in the western world (where the vast majority of EVs are sold) run off of a combination of natural gas (which is much cleaner than burning gasoline), Nuclear, and Renewables.
Even 20 years ago it was clear that Top Gear is a reality-style sketch comedy show. Everything is a bit. Ppl taking Clarkson seriously, and especially Joe and Elon acting like it was a huge blow, is just insane.
Top Gear is a bit like UK satirical magazine Private Eye. If you read the Eye you know there are clearly made up satirical articles and there are serious investigative journalism articles. And you always know which sections of the magazine are the serious ones and which are the satirical ones.
So yes we all know TG was scripted and lots of it is done for comedy, but fundamentally if they test a new hypercar and say it will do 200mph then that is taken as a fact.
I was a huge fan of the Clarkson/Hammond/May era TG but the fact is he very much had an agenda against EVs and hybrids and frequently stretched the truth or all out misled viewers to portray them in a negative light. Showing the Tesla running out of power and having to be pushed is one example. (Though racing around a track is HUGELY fuel hungry whatever the car runs on. The Elise in that test probably average 5mpg)
They "tested" a Prius by having it drive around the track flat out and having a BMW M3 follow it, and compared fuel consumption, which is a staggeringly stupid and pointless test. The benefit of hybrids is in city stop start traffic. Driving flat out they are just an ICE car. What did that "test" prove? Did they do a follow up where both cars were driven across Londin in rush hour and compare THAT fuel consumption? Of course not.
They tested a Nissan Leaf in the north of England and showed it running out of battery, when we later found out that they actually STARTED the trip with the battery only half charged, with viewers given the impression it was fully charged.
They have done a couple of hypermiling features to show how economical petrol cars can be, driving an Audi from London to Scotland and back on one tank of petrol, and a cross Europe trip with a Jaguar and a VW, with Jeremy driving carefully to show how far you can go on one tank. Yet again, no similar feature with an EV showing how far one of them can go on one charge.
and every joke has a kernel of truth. Thats what makes it fun and its the very basis of a good sketch show, and that includes top gear for that matter. The humor isnt the criticism, but the lies presented as the kernel of truth
@@karlbassett8485 *Exactly.* There was *no way* to know whether Top Gear was lying or not.

They don't even have thermal fuses like a conventional car. If a circuit is overloaded the virtual fuse will reset itself once the overload condition has stopped.
Virtual fuses are not new technology. They've been used in aircraft like the 787 and the first flight of the 787 happened 15 years ago. The actual design of the 787 is much older still.

Jeremy’s pet peeve isn’t electric cars. It’s an electric car that tries to take the ownership away from the actual owner. Everyone of these electric cars have to be connected to a server or else the car won’t run. They always have to receive updates or the car won’t run if you’re able to keep your car running perfectly with the updates then when there’s an emergency and power goes out or there’s a blizzard your car won’t run if you have no power for three or four days your car runs out after day one, then you have no way to charge your car…. if none of that bother you, the fact that you spending about $100,000 on an electric car that at best and this is literally the best case scenario you will get maybe 10 years out of the battery that car has at which point you’ll have to spend at least 60% the value of the car to receive a new battery, every 10 years you will have to essentially buy a new car because you own an electric car …. so there’s no chance you would ever be able to pass down your electric kids and there would be no way to have a car last long-term anyway because these all need software updates and batteries somehow magically lasted for 20 years. The software would not be supported at that point in the car still wouldn’t start so these are just a scam. It’s a scam for them to be able to get more money out of you on a more regular basis so we use your brain buy something reliable like a Honda or Toyota gas powered and support those companies cause they actually care about the customer
Let's not forget the only time Elon Musk was CEO of a company he didn't own himself he was fired within 6 months.

You have to remember the original show came out in 2008. Back then Tesla would have provided a level 1 charger as level 2 chargers were still very rare, making the charging time 12-16 hours, even on the small battery of the roadster. The Tesla lawyer said it should take 3 - 3 1/2 hours which might have been done on a level 2, but not on a level 1 charger. One of Jeremy's main complaints is that when you put your foot down hard, like on a race track, the battery drained really quickly. EV's have gotten better, but in 2008 that was a real problem.
It's kind of ironic that Elon says Clarkson hates Americans and American cars when Elon Musk is in fact not American. Funny how that works.............
Technically he IS American as he has been an American citizen for years now. He was born in South Africa, moved to Canada as a teen then to the US where he has since become an American citizen.
So can he run for president then? Noop.

The bed liner looks like dirt has never touched it. No scratches to indicate dragging heavy equipment to and from the bed. But the truck is valued at over 70,000! Nah, we as a country like cars, but clearly the larger audience doesn't care about driving dynamics or quality roads. I miss sedans. Remember when buick made a sedan? How about Lincoln? How about the outgoing Chrysler 300? The American car market blows.
Agreed. Modern American cars, barring few exceptions, are crappy.
But the customised ones are the best.

Poor little Elon Musk, clawing his way from the dirt. Yea, the dirt from the Diamond Mine he inherited.
Based comment 😂
The fabricated story was actually about an emerald mine.
He actually renounced to his inheritance. But even if he didn't, turning a tens of millions dollars worth mine into a 270 billion fortune is quite the feat. Mind you, nearly 80% of lottery winners end up broke. It's not about having money, it's about knowing what to do with it.
@@Gearparadummies You’re absolutely right, but the story about the mine is either not true, as there are no documents or evidence to back it up, or it is exaggerated. The only source is an interview with his father, who claimed to have a share in a mine in an African country, just like I might claim to have a share in Tesla. That doesn’t mean I’m very rich.
Congratulations for spewing debunked misinformation from your hate cage.
Your contribution isn't even close to the most common bullshit (emerald mine) but I guess low effort lying pays
Man when elon was still diplomatic in his interview. What a time that was.
Isn't Jeremy allowed to have the freedom of speech to say what he wants about Tesla?
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences of that speech. Yell "Fire" in a crowded theatre and see what happens. Publicly accuse someone of being a rapist or murderer and see what happens.
I dislike Elon, but freedom of speech isn’t anything like that. There’s full liability and responsibility within everything we say - if you provided a misinformed statement within a reasonable position of authority in face of an audience, that could and should be used against you if damages were to occur to the listeners.

Musk seems extremely insecure and it makes sense when you look at the history of “his” companies and how he hasn’t really founded any of them. I think he would be a lot more likeable if he chose to be genuine and embrace his flaws rather than act insecure and defensive about anything bad said against him or his companies.
Also, Tesla seeing Top Gear’s script HAS to be a lie. Why would they still lend them the car for the review if they knew what was coming? Such a dumb story. Love that Joe Rogan says he’s a huge Top Gear fan and then proceeds to not know where the hosts ended up lol.
He certainly didn't like the criticism of his submarine idea to save the boys trapped in the cave. The submarine would idea would never have worked.

Jeremy Clarkson > Elon Musk
simple math
I thought Musk was all about free speech
This isn't technically anything to do with the goverment so it's not related to free speech but what musk calls free speech so your not really wrong
he is, until people start saying stuff he doesnt like.
Not if they talk bad about him
Yeeaah right! If you want to work at a Tesla workshop in Sweden you have to sign a 40-70 pages long complicated contract (standard in Sweden is at most 2 pages). You have to agree to lifetime secrecy and are prohibited to ever talk about Tesla for eternity. If you invent something, even if you have left Tesla, Tesla has the right to all your inventions for the rest of your life. Are you f-ing kidding me about free speech? Musk and a lot of US big business tycoons belong in mental asylums. Someone said Bezos? Wait, I did. And this is the type of leaders many US citizens admire? Shame on you!
If free speech is "Just for me - not for thee" then he's all for it.
We should point out Teslas official submission in court was that the brakes failed due to a fuse and it was quick to fix and then Elon says that that was actually scripted on a podcast. I can actually understand the confusion here because the average top gear episode is generally more accurate than anything he says.
That part with the tesla engineer saying there was a RANDOM SCRIPT LAYING ON THE TABLE and he was able to read it through, is laughably made up.

@@niklas8565ah another who hasn’t a clue what they’re talking about
This is true, if we really cared about the environment we would invest and research nuclear power more heavily, large amounts of power with zero carbon footprint wind and solar power are conditional and do not produce anywhere near enough energy to power a country, France runs on something like 60% nuclear
@@non-fictionaltoughguy1208 please explain. We have no clue of what to do with nuclear waste except than putting it underground. Rather than using an ad-hominem argument you could have said the solution.
The latest plans to build nuclear power plants where so expensive, that many projects got cancelled or delayed for many years.
Germany shows that you don't need nuclear power plants. If our taxes and fees on electricity weren't so high, we would have pretty cheap electricity. Solar and Wind produce over 50-60 % of our needed energy. If we had invested in good storage technologies, it would be probably much higher.

@@bl4cksp1d3r While yes it is a problem notifying the driver that the hood is unlatched, almost all of the recalls have been solved by an over the air update and is very rarely hardware related.
Although a 'Recall' is always for safety issues with NHTSA, I have seen that it's the only term available for safety issues despite being big or small, like for example: "Tesla recalling nearly 2.2M vehicles for software update to fix warning lights that are too small". Which in reality meant only adjusting by a few pixels the size of the icon of the PARK, BREAK and ABS icons on the screen but it caught a lot of attention because it was a 'Recall' despite being something small.
I do agree the recent stuff that Tesla has been doing is wrong like removing sensors, the Cybertruck apart from looking ugly, is made very poorly and glued together pretty much because of Musk's stubbornness

It takes soooo little for Musky to get butt hurt. Utter baby. Rogan, as ever, is pure cringe.
The fact that the energy was coming from a nuclear power plant was actually a huge win for the environment! I mean, imagine if it came from a coal-fired power station, like in most cases (speaking of central europe). Nuclear energy is our future. It's clean, it's relatively safe, and it's efficient as hell.
Strange how inthe Rogan "interview" there was suddenly a script, which was never brought up in any of the court cases by Elons side. But according to the BBCs Top Gear Team the script for each episode was not finalised until they actually had everything filmed with it evolving throughout the filming. So i call utter bullsh*t on Elons claims made in that interview.
The engineer delivering the car and getting his hand on the script to read it also sounded weird. Still the story is incomplete and there is definitely someone lying about some stuff.

Environmentalists hate nuclear power
Because environmentalists don't understand how nuclear power works. They think it's just as bad as coal and constantly point at Chernobyl as to why "nuke bad". They've had that attitude for decades and "green" organizations or political parties have shut down multiple nuclear power plants. That's why Jeremy pointed that out.
1. Mistakes happen
2. Context for disliking nuclear energy, especially in 2008, is vital.

@@kapralas Nuclear energy being so feared in 2008 ... the green parties of Europe have done more damage for sustainable power than any other ideological actors towards it, it's so ridiculous in retrospect. Not that Clarkson is a fan of those parties, but it's a "even they said it" kind of thing

the issue is with looking back on electric cars on TG was that the 2 major cars they focused on was the tesla roadster and the G wiz, then later a few other random ones but it was still a time when you needed to plug it in a wall charger that took like 15 hours and the other option was the Prius, and that jonathon ross clip is from that era too, since then jeremy has given better views and james and richard both own a electric car
11:25 I don't believe that any of this happened because I couldn't see them letting a Tesla employee read the script and be like nope nope you don't get to touch that
Agreed. If he was just the deliverer he’d have signed off and departed basically asap. In slim chance he was allowed to stay or had to wait to take it back, he’d be left on the sidelines well away from any sensitive materials like a script. Film crews wouldn’t give 2 shits about accommodating someone like that.
Wait a minute now... Are you suggesting Elon LIED????
Oh no, I'm going to have to go pray to him for guidance now...
If that script really did say that the tesla was planned to break down, then why wouldn't have Tesla asked for Clarkson's defence lawyers to turn it over as evidence during the liable case? As the lawyers' would have been obligated to comply, and it's a very strong piece of evidence in Tesla's favour.
