Public Transport Vs 500hp Electric Car Race 

Honestly, I think Ethan won this race. He didn't have to worry about late trains or broken chargers...

Tonight Alex drives an ev Jack sees a tow truck And Ethan takes a day off

Jack: ‘everyone’s giving me weird looks thinking I’m some weirdo vlogging’ Also Jack: ‘WHAT’S UP YOUTU-‘

Charging issues aside, if public transport were allowed to compete properly (ie getting a bus to and from the stations) it would've saved more than an hour in journey time. The car simply cannot compete with High Speed Rail.

Jack's the man. He's relatable because he's not obnoxiously happy all the time like most RU-vidrs. It's good to see someone just being themselves. The Tourist Simulator lines was hilarious.

So they had to drop Ethan so jack can get business class 😂 It’s official jack is a danger to society, walking and trains everywhere yet not a headphone in sight

Transport challenges are the best, got top gear vibes…

Lovely, absolutely splendid, you guys are nicely filling the void due to lack of entertaining motor journalism shows by creating such content akin to old top gear with Clarkson and the gang. Great going! Really looking forward to seeing more. Cheers!

4/4 for the train. If Jack had got the tube and the Paris metro and the train not delayed, even with no charging issues the train would have obliterated the car!

Jack is hilarious. Tourist simulator 🤣

It was nice seeing more of Jack, I don't think he gets enough screen and mic time.

They should put electric chargers on the channel tunnel. Seems like a good time to charge considering you just sit there.

Jack: I've got to get from this underground train station in London to this underground train station in London and I'm only allowed to use trains. I know, I'll walk.

I guess Ethan was actually left at home trying to get his own flying license for the next challenge.

Jack is such a cool guy. love him lol

one mode of transport only? so, if Alex is allowed to take the car on a train, why can't Jack take other forms of public transport?

Damn if Jack could've used other trains he would've saved 1.5 hours.

Love the challenges you've been doing recently, well done Jack

Never would’ve guessed Jack was a film guy until I caught glimpse of the TLR (presumably a Yashica) towards the end there. Thought that bit was neat!

Love these types of challenges , definitely need to do more.

I love these challenges so much!

Yes!!! You should use Jack more often. He’s got such a great personality!

“I’m one fanny pack short of being the final boss in Tourist Simulator 2022”

I always love these races. Keep it up guys! Love it!

This is so cool! I love these. Poor Alex, nobody gets candy up like he does

Watching all the double playing unfold is great!! And hilarious 😂

Another hit! Dont get me wrong I know they're hard and expensive to make, but its so worth it, I'd bingewatch these all day long. Good job guys.

Just finished work after starting at 22:30 last night and what a video to watch before I go to sleep ! Unreal !

This reminds me of classic top gear at it's best

I'd get lost as fuck trying to do this challenge, it seems to be in my DNA.

Best. Phrase. Ever!!! "Meanwhile i'm out here cooking a fresh batch of ball soup"!! 😂🤣😂🤣

You guys uploaded this vid at the same time I was checking in to eurotunnel from Calais as my train was delayed for an hour. The young UK boarder control guy checking our passports was so slow it actually made me feel rage watching all the other aisles clear as his only inched forward. Great video btw, France is lovely.

Gotta love a bit of interesting racing 😊 Here in Oz you don't bother with either form of transport and just get on a plane if you don't want to take the 'scenic' route 😂

Did he just walked all the way from Gare du Nord to the Eiffel Tower instead of taking the metro? Good legs!

These kind of shows from you and Car Trek are so killing it

The cinematography around 8 mins in was superb!

Jack is so handsome, even after rain! 😍 Great Trip, but my best advice for Travelling to Paris: take the Train! You're own car will end up damaged of wild "french parking"! 😐 Or just park outside of Paris on P&R Areals ✌️ Greetings from 🇩🇪 Sebastian

Good video so far! I’d like to see another cheap car challenge

Well done guys! That was easily the best race so far in my opinion

Absolutely one of my favourite channels...wicked video 👍👊

I saw a similar competition a few years ago between a Tesla and an 80's fiat panda, they went from norway to Croatia i believe it was, the Panda won even if the tesla was faster, it was quite intresting to see

Cooking up a fresh batch of balls soup 😂😂😂 incredible

You guys are really top notch! Even though I was missing Ethan (hopefully he's off the toilet by now), eventually both of you showed us what you're capable of on your own and what great entertainers you are. Thanks and looking forward to more of your content! :)

Brilliant as always, interesting comment from Jack that "his dogs were barking" an expression I grew up with as my mother used it a lot, always thought it was from the north Nottinghamshire area?

Love the e-tron! Probably my favorite EV

Have a great day everyone! 👌🏻💯

Love the challenge videos, keep it coming

Oh man, watched older challenges videos last night waiting and wishing there was a new one.... Then this.... thankyou 🙏😎

I love how the british got tired of scraping tourists off the pavement so everywhere says "look right" on the ground hahaha

Tonight Alex learns how to charge a car Jack gets bored waiting Ethan takes a day off

Another absolute banger of a video. Bbc top gear please take note of how it's done

I like this. I thought it would be a Top Gear copy but your take was good. Well done !

I'm sure it's been said 3 million times but you guys really are the current TopGear. Not TopGear, 5th Gear, or The Grand Tour. You guys! Keep up the great work. 👍

So weird seeing this with a car I’ve actually test driven IRL. Very comfy and of course VERY FAST (now the fastest accelerating car I’ve ever driven) loaded with tech. The issues I have with it is that it makes this artificial deep rumbling sound when it’s in drive (on the outside) and the throttle’s surprisingly stiff.

Absolutely mint video can’t wait for the next one love this channel 👌🏻

Great video. Love the challenge videos. Just imagine their was a power cut no charging at all.

Don’t lose this time Alex! 😉

So in conclusion, normal cars are still superior to electric vehicles

Just bloody brilliant lads! Nice one!👍😊👏👏👏

Love this type of vids class lads

It would be interesting to see if someone that could reach the pedals and see out the windows would do better driving in these challenges.

This is filling a gap in my life left by Top Gear, thank you so much guys!!! You’re absolutely amazing 🤩😍

I’m in love w/ Jack so much. I really love when he is in the videos.

Love this type of content!

This perfectly highlights the differences between public transport and just driving yourself to your destination. You have just sitting around, wasting time waiting to get on and be transported to your next spot VS choosing your own journey. That's the appeal of a car to me - you make the journey as you go along. You create memories as you travel from every experience - positive and negative, but memories nonetheless. No one creates memories from waiting to board the train/ferry/plane, unless something extremely rare and eventful happens. That's why i could never switch to public transport and no matter how faster or cheaper it gets, if i have the option, i'll always go for a car.

2 ways to see this. If the train wasn't delayed and Jack used the tube to get to the station then he'd have won by ages. But if Alex had used a diesel with 800miles of range and no refueling needed he'd have won by ages 😂

So excited for this

I love your productions, lads being lads I always end up with a sore face from smiling to much.

I really enjoy these but in an EV, frustrated for you Alex... Though it does look nice doesn't it! Also did anyone tell Jack that technically the subway and metro and trains?

Brilliant episode! Missed Ethan but Jack is great tbf, ran the show 😂 but I do love the E-tron, best electric car made imo

Love your challenge video guys keep them coming 👍

Between you boys and cartrek, It fills the old school tg vibe

notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

I'm guessing Jack was allowed only one trains because ThamesLink goes from London Bridge to St. Pancras.

19:21 I'm like one fanny pack short of being the final boss in tourist simulator 2022 🤣🤣🤣

Cooking up the freshest batch of ball soup- Outstanding wordsmanship my friend, I solute you.

I feel like these are always set up to help public transport. If you go from one massive transport hub (central London) to another (Paris) then its always going to work in PT's favour because those places are based around PT and have huge, direct links. If it was the other way around where you start somewhere out in the sticks and travel down some great roads to somewhere else in the sticks you could probably beat PT on a moped. If you want to make it fair throw something at a map and see where it lands.

Such an interesting idea, Ive never seen this format before

You should do one where you then do a reverse race and you swap on the way home. Love these races. Keep em up!

I do like these top gear kind of races on your channel 👌

Technically the tube is a train so you could get tube London Bridge to St Pancras. Technically the car went on a train so that's 2 modes and cheating. Plus walking is also a mode.

I love these videos keep it up!

I had to pause the video.... hard words to say,,, hats off to you!!

It’s not gonna be the same once the videos don’t have Alex anymore :(

Charging issues? Just get a Tesla :) Properly impressed by Jacks effort :D

is the OG top gear back??!! Loved it!

Jack rocking the Rolleiflex at the Eiffel Tower..man of taste it seems.

electric cars sound like a great idea until you have somewhere to be. imagine every gas station "turning off" all at once. that's a potential reality with electric cars.

I don't understand how this is public transport vs car? 2h20 of walking is clearly not the most direct route lol? ebikes, buses, the tube, etc... if the car is allowed to use tolls then it makes no sense for the public transport person to have to walk lol

Can't wait to watch this

now this is EPiC

I just travelled 3755km in a rented Tesla for the holly days using Tesla Superchargers and I can now confidently say: ionity is shit 😅

Well I guess when it comes to long journeys, you still can't beat a good old fashioned combustion engine! Better mileage and quicker to refuel. But I do think if hydrogen fuel cell cars had a better infrastructure, it could be a better substitute for combustion rather than full electric.

Loved that lads. Well done. 👌😁

Great challenge, thank you! Car charging infrastructure as usual left to be desired… Looking forward for a new challenges!

Some say .... ethan knows 2 facts about cars,....... both of which are wrong

This just proves electric is sh!te. 👍

Maximum old top gear vibes. Keep it up guys

more of these please. different car different locations
