You really shouldn't trust a product that you can't manually get into. i mean with an actual key and a mechanical means to get in. If somebody used an EMP bomb on a country that knocks out all your electronics (and modern armies do have this tech on hand btw), the only thing you will be able to drive is a pre-1980's combustion engine with manual parts in it. Your tesla and your amazing new Toyota Camry will be bricked.
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc bruh, if you have any car that relies on sparkplugs or glowplugs for diesel, you are indeed fucked. Which means you can't drive anything except really old diesel engines that runs on compression alone, and since your start engine will be out of service due to being zapped by the emp, you'd have to roll start it. If you're going to be a paranoid doomsday prepper, atleast do it right.
@@martinturykippervik3894 paranoid? eh we went through 2 world Wars and a couple of Genocides and it has barely been a hundred years. The middle east is a bomb, china is a bomb, and your leaders are probably bought off by money and deeply corrupt, both sides. Maybe just you're fast asleep.
@@martinwragg8246 As if Jeremy Clarkson needs money 😂 You clearly don't know him. He is more likely to pay a manufacturer money to shit on their car just for the fun of it.
It's a golf cart, but does not have room for 7 sets of clubs... Poor design... The Tesla "Cyber Truck" is also butt-ugly, but at least it has room for a few sets of golf clubs in the bed of the pickup. It's supposedly a 6-seater, but it might be a tight fit to put 6 golf bags in that enclosed bed of the truck. Maybe one of the aftermarket companies will create a special insert that fits in the bed that has room for 6 individualized sets of golf clubs, but without the bags. :)
@@AlexCreemers That's not true. Goggle it. Wolfenstein 3D level 1, "Can I play, Daddy?", the easiest. level 2, "Don't hurt me." level 3, "Bring 'em on!", the default. level 4, "I am Death incarnate!", the hardest. Trust no one!
This is a classic video for so many reasons. The end of an era. Clarkson on form and genuinely enjoying the goofy touches of the Tesla; changing his tune about electric cars, and yet still trying to fit in a final few digs before the enevitable occurs. One for the archives. Happy to see it on its own here for people to enjoy without paying for and watching 4 seasons of the Grand Tour.
That's only because they're actively catering to the newly opened market, it'll die down. Unless you're talking about the uncensored dongs, we don't care about that on our TVs
@@hemstertringldoodah7217 In Denmark you can have Teslas as your taxi with no extra charge (instead of a Mercedes) Then theres loads of companies providing airport transport in luxury vehicles
@@TheKickboxingCommunity Actually there’s everything wrong with it because people only get words put in their mouth when they lie faster than their brain can make stuff up.
And an ejaculating one at that... When he drew this, he was foretelling the reaction his body would have when pulling ahead of the Audi. This explains his “celebration mode” happy-ending scene. This is also why the woman next to him (his wife?) was so pissed off at him, afterwards. He was cheating on her with the Tesla.
It was hilarious! But to be honest, the Top gear review of the Tesla was rather sloppily done. It's no wonder they got themselves into so much trouble with Elon Musk. However, it's also true Elon Musk is a bit of a snowflake. It doesn't take much to set him off into a tizzy.
isn't it meant to be satire on how Tesla has reached the status of "cannot, could not, would not, should not ever be criticised" and how Elon Musk generally responds really badly to public criticism? And the fact that Elon Musk tried to sue Jeremy Clarkson previously and lost the lawsuit.
@@joshshone4464 I believe top gears review of the first generation roadster of Tesla. Tesla lost the majority of that lawsuit, the rest was dismissed by the judge.
@@joshshone4464 Tesla got a script for the episode and they planned to have the Tesla brake. The logs on the Tesla showed it never dropped below 20%, but they claimed it ran out of power after 55 miles on the highway. Tesla sued them for defamation but lost because they couldn’t prove if it actually hurt their sales.
Being useful is only relative to your needs and lifestyle. I'd buy an r8 and wouldn't care if a box on wheels beats me. Also, having to recharge my car is inconvenient with the amount I have to travel
He hasnt changed that much. He still spouts the same old anti ev talking points. I wonder if he ever heard of a petrol car catching fire. I've seen lots. I'm sure an EV is just as likely to catch fire as an ICE car if involved in a crash.
"draw pretty patterns" Edit- This is the first time I got large amount of likes. I didn't know people like looking at pretty patterns on RU-vid. Let's have a good 2021.
@@arpandeepchandi1709 I might wait 4 months after the Berlin built Model Y comes out before my purchase and hopefully get a 30 percent discount. Worth the wait.
I had the pleasure of driving a Model X a neighbor friend bought for his family of 4 in 2016. Fastest car I have ever driven. It brakes just as fast. After that my whole perspective of an automobile instantly changed. I can only imagine what it would be like to drive the roadster. I bought 100 shares of TSLA the next day.
I'm impressed with Jeremy in fairness. If he drove it off a cliff, that would have been one electric car plus a car full of lawyers and unfortunately one extremely adept motor journalist less in the world. Well done Jeremy, well done on not ridding the world of you.
@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.
having lawyers correcting his claims as a parody to tesla suing him before was the best part, along the shot where he wrote james may is a noron on a dasboard while talking about car haha
Yeah the Model 3 Performance is the same, although it loses a lot of steam above about 110. Despite the acceleration though, they are not what I would call "fun" cars. Good for the commute bad for a weekend thrash.
@@thunderbug8640 Yeah they aren't for track days. The acceleration is satisfying and all the toys make them great fun on normal journeys, which I'm all for.
Well considering the second episode of the new format is only about to come out it's a little early to say.. That being said I do love Clarkson's car reviews
@@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
@@ajstevens1652 well,it was all good APART from in the script the car would pretend to run out of charge when in reality it had over 50% left or somethkng like that
