What Jeremy Clarkson thinks about Tesla 

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.

Mashable Daily 5

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.

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.

​@@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

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

@Stephen Macdaddy yea, so does producing gasoline and engine oil, except batteries won't be producing toxins in the operation of the vehicle itself.

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.

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" Give me a break you whine bitch

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)

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.

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.

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".

Because one day they won't take that long to charge.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

With that said it is no wonder Tesla has quality control issues

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?

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.

Gas cars

@FireBlade - you mean LPG or CNG cars?

They actually made him pay to say that.

@@DaLHunt44 yes but how much

I like you because you are an honest customer

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.

Except in America a lot of electricity is made by coal

and its still cheaper and cleaner than oil

Crystal ball working there huh

Smol PeenMen top gear is funded by the British taxpayers, having a sponsor is not allowed lol

Pulled that one straight out your ass didn't you. BBC, British Broadcasting Corporation. Funded solely with tax payer money. Not a single private investor involved in the production.

Yeah the tv licence funded BBC (not by shell!) is impartial, or at least its ment to be. But it seems that it definitely did run out of power earlier than Tesla stated it would. The argument Tesla gives for this is it was driven hard round a track and under normal conditions would have ran for 200 miles, why they have then marketed it as a sports car when it cant be driven round a track hard like a sports car should be able to do isn't good press for the company and it just looks like Musk is throwing everything he can at them to save face.

Absolute horseshit. Neither Top Gear nor the BBC are privately funded at all, they have no sponsors or investors, even product placement is banned.

If you've ever been close to a Tesla vehicle and know anything about vehicle manufacturing quality assurance, you'd know one of the biggest criticisms is the fit and finish; panel alignment, paint quality, panel sealant defects. I looked at one in the showroom and found so many issues that would never leave a GM production line. Another with 20,000Km on the dial had rust and the seat was frayed.

clearly haven't driven or owned one lol. not a problem at all unless you are 80 and needing glasses haha

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.

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

nope that was a lie by Tesla fan base...

Mphikeleli Cebekhulu revealed by a fanboy video with Pinocchio animations?? The BBC is funded by taxpayers and not allowed to have sponsers

Mphikeleli Cebekhulu oh and it was supposed to be Shell lol not Total

Mah mam There's a comment here somewhere that says Clarkson is sponsored by BP; so apparently he's sponsored by Total, BP and Shell, despite sponsorship being illegal on the BBC. Tesla fangirls need to get their story straight.
