Scot ChurnoffJul 26, 2012 That's no surprise, Elon Musk knows as much about batteries as the man and the moon and my 18 month old daughter!,
Zain SheikhOct 21, 2011 He also says everyone who has a Camaro is a murderer . Hahhaha you gotta love clarkson's jokes
Nick HoottonOct 21, 2011 Tesla are cool cars but no point complaining about efficiency on a track with mr Clarkson behind wheel. Tg just need me to be an additional presenter, then I'll fix all !!
No PistonsOct 21, 2011 Time I checked if something isn't working properly along with something needed replacement that's considered broken
No PistonsOct 21, 2011 Once you read the case and evidence, the mileage range was calculated by one of tesla's OWN faculties in Cali based on the data top gear provided for them. The car did break, the brake were no longer biting hard it was a blown fuse I believe. Last...
Chris BjorgolfssonOct 21, 2011 … They didn't mention that these cars are in a completely different price segment, it should have compared it to cars in the same league. It's like testing the new Mini cooper works against the new Ferraris
Chris BjorgolfssonOct 21, 2011 I still watch top gear, but it is highly biased against American companies. A while back they tested to C6 Corvette when it first came out, and they tested it against Cars three times its price and it was still competitive but they depicted it poorly
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 IMO the best reviews are from Evo, Top Gear, & Car magazines, they're 3 times as thick as any American magazine and have way cooler cars.
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 @ Will in most parts of the video it sucked, the video praised all aspects superior at the end, just watch. They've fixed problems with 5 liter.
Mike HawkOct 21, 2011 Now I hope even more people throw harsh remarks at them!
Who do they think they are...Jesus?
Mike HawkOct 21, 2011 Who cares if TG didn't provide a thorough test? They're just trying to entertain the masses, first and foremost.
Tesla just can't take a bit of criticism. (just a bunch of pussy ass bitches)
Can't please everyone.
Patrick SchalkOct 21, 2011 Consumer reports are extremely biased. They don't like anything but Asian cars. They dont take a lot of things into account when testing the cars. I bought a CR mag a few weeks ago and got pissed when I read it. They are pencil pushers,not car people
Patrick KennedyOct 21, 2011 Just get a consumer reports magazine if you want an unbaised review
Will ReveneOct 21, 2011 The mustang didn't get destroyed. Yes it was slower, but not by a huge amount. And it weighs a considerable amount less than the other two. And is way better around comers. Numbers aren't the only thing that determines what car is better.
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 they had the 10' mustang so it had like 100 HP less than the others and got destroyed, but then at the end there just like overall the mustang is superior, that's when I stopped getting American magazines.
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 American shows and magazines are pretty biased, mostly to Ford cause they didn't take bail out money, the review on YouTube with the new Challenger, Mustang, & Camaro
Nick BenzOct 21, 2011 Philip you think asian cars are trash BECAUSE you drive a galant. Those are the shittiest ones!
Brady NusbaumOct 21, 2011 How can you say top gears tests aren't very good. Their is it green test is one of the most thorough in the industry
Ivan RudnitskyOct 21, 2011 Suing someone for reviewing your car is a terrible way tiger publicity. Isn't the point of a car review program to be critical? That's why all US programs suck. They're bought out by GM so they only praise garbage cars.
Carlie GeorgeOct 21, 2011 That's just a Elise with a electric motor y not get a fuel efficient Elise ; fisker ,telsa ,I don't see a big future
Kasino JohnsonOct 21, 2011 Was the editor of this article "completetesly seriously"?
Raymond ReynosoOct 21, 2011 Oh god here we go with the complaining. Sad sad person
Ken MadisonOct 21, 2011 I'd be mad if someone threw false slander at one of my products... Especially on international TV where millions of potential buyers will be turned off.
Andrew GrimmOct 21, 2011 I completetesly believe Clarkson about this! Lol
Bob JonesDec 06, 2011 They can't act like it's purfect it is one of few electric cars!!!!
Randy GeniecOct 22, 2011 Those of you thinking EV you are missing the main point of buying a car...FREEDOM.
Caleb LochridgeOct 22, 2011 I think Tesla (the scientist) should sue Tesla (the auto company) for stealing his name. Too bad he's dead
Cho DanOct 21, 2011 Careful what you say about the Tesla here guys, you might get slapped with a lawsuit. If I were Tesla ('80s rock band) I would sue Tesla (the auto company) for stealing my name!
Nicolas PonsOct 21, 2011 This global warming thing really hits the spot
Nicolas PonsOct 21, 2011 No but hybrids are good, we get a warmer planet from them! Who wants to be cold, and I don't think the Africans care if it gets a little hotter.
Brandon LidyOct 21, 2011 And you gotta realize what tesla is trying to do. They aren't going for the EV distance record
Elijah McCordOct 21, 2011 There's a big difference between the price of a tesla and a veyron btw
Dexter CorderoOct 21, 2011 smart ones would rather put that money towards other things.
Dexter CorderoOct 21, 2011 And don't even start the argument that because it's a sports car, the owner should least be concerned about buying gas...people who buy a car like a tesla could well afford to comfortably fill up a veyron. But of course, the truly affluent and
Dexter CorderoOct 21, 2011 You guys who point the finger towards the save-the-environment thing are missing a critical talking point of EVs, and that is saving $$$ on gas...not necessarily saving the polar bears. There are many who buy hybrids and EVs to save money on gas
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 "everyone I know with an EV is a millionaire" -Matt Farah.
It's not about driving experience or saving the environment, its about saving gas money.
Zach SullivanOct 21, 2011 Once u replace the combustion engine with electric motor u no longer have a car it becomes just another appliance. The engine is the soul without it u might as well call it a blender.
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 I could care less about the environment I just spend ALL my money on gasoline.
Jordan SmithOct 21, 2011 @ Ryan, exactly. People see the hybrid badge and assume their "saving the environment" just because it's half electric. They don't realize what power it took to make the battery, or what happens when the battery is finished.
Ryan StringerOct 21, 2011 (continued)... Worse than gasoline!
Ryan StringerOct 21, 2011 Electric Cars are not the future! They are just not feasible.
You think you are "saving" the environment by not burning gasoline, but think about where your electricity is coming from... Coal! America's largest energy source is coal! Which is far
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 I'd take a Volt for weekdays and any hyper car for weekends, makes it more special & saves me gas $ overall
Nick BenzOct 21, 2011 I would not like to. Give me any zonda and some curvy roads for the weekend please

Alanna GalliganMar 26, 2013 Tesla is crap-Uh oh I might be filed as #58293038 subject who says something bad about tesla and goes to prison for 4 years because of a comment on carbuzz
JGL ScuderiaMar 04, 2012 dont think that is going to happen erik
Alex PrestonOct 27, 2011 For the record tesla is owned by quite possible the greatest man alive.
Erik SchererOct 23, 2011 America should sue TG, for all the crap they talk about us! lol
Chris PenzaOct 21, 2011 Teslas are horrible. My dads boss has one it took him 3 years before it came in from the order, it has a crap load of problems too. He hates it and they won't take it back
Caleb LochridgeOct 21, 2011 ...(cont.) talked crap on sue TG? Tesla is owned by morons. I dislike their company even more for pulling crap like this
Caleb LochridgeOct 21, 2011 So is Audi gonna sue TG because when they reviewed the R8 against the ZR1 the R8's cruise control didn't work? Did they stage that? Or when he said the ZR1 wouldn't start on the last day, did he forget gas? So should every company that Jeremy has...
KeX LimOct 21, 2011 Clarkson is hilarious. It's classic British humour and wit. If you don't think he's funny, it's just down to cultural differences.
Joshua ArnottOct 21, 2011 What's wrong with you people??? Everycar has it's downsides and problems!!! Why would you only want to hear the good things??? If he is supposed to review the car than both sides should be shown!!!
Mike HawkOct 21, 2011 "opinion"
Well isn't that what Clarkson gave us, when he talked about the tesla?
We're all entitled to opinions. But tesla wants to take a scientologist approach to the matter, with a petty lawsuit.
Patrick SchalkOct 21, 2011 Kent do you even watch Top Gear? Clarkson is one of the most biased people in the world. I still love the show but some of the crap he points out is petty BS. I like Hammond the most. He's an American at heart. He likes good ol muscle.
Kent SullivanOct 21, 2011 Jeremey clarkson being hilarious is a matter of fact, not opinion
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 I bet 50% of people that watched that now don't like the Corvette, just because of that, when he failed to mention the carbon fiber roof and other bony panels, and the aluminum chassis.
Michael PalazzoOct 21, 2011 I do enjoy top gear, but people take his reviews way too seriously. He loved the ZR1 on the road trip in America, but then him and everyone flipped out when he poked the rear bumper on the individual test.
Ken MadisonOct 21, 2011 Kent... I can't say he's a bad comedian? That's a matter of opinion,
Michael GallagherOct 21, 2011 B man, we all know it's a lotus. And I would rather have a lotus :) well... Yea I guess lol. But top gear UK is a riot. Everything they do is highlorous. I almost have every season
Dylan BruderOct 21, 2011 That's because it is one they used the chassis
B Man HilfOct 21, 2011 They did lie about the range. And they ripped of Lotus. Look at the thing! It looks like an Elise
Kent SullivanOct 21, 2011 @ken, GTFO. clarksons initials aren't JC by coincidence
Alex KlemsteinOct 21, 2011 Clarkson is hilarious, one of the funniest people on tv. Top Gear is an entertainment show, not a trusted car reviewing show. If you're looking for unbiased car reviews watch something else.
Ken MadisonOct 21, 2011 Agreed. Clarkson is a big comedian and a bad one at that.
Edith WhartonOct 21, 2011 Who cares what clarkson says. He finds everything wrong about every single car and usually makes a vague conclusion about cars
Description: Frankly, we are not impressed by Telsa's behavior throughout this proceeding. Tesla also went after Car and Driver (albeit, not with a lawsuit) over a cold-weather test of the Roadster that yield...Add Comments10
Zach SullivanOct 21, 2011 So if you plan on driving ur ev sports car in a sporty manor or in the winter months ur range is cut by about 75% that wouldn't be a problem if it didn't take 16 hours to recharge
Jimmy Jose LopezOct 21, 2011 Wut everybody here fails to understand is that Jeremy drove the tesla on a TRACK. A TRACK does not portray everyday driving. Therefore the range that clarkson gave is correct, albeit not wut tesla gave. They're getting they're panties in a bunch for
Caleb LochridgeOct 21, 2011 Or just don't make a battery. Electric cars are stupid and very bad for the environment (coal burned to make electricity, construction and disposal of the batteries) they just don't want you to know they are bad for the environment
Tyler James DavisOct 21, 2011 Tesla claimed 200 miles range, but batteries work poor under 31 Fahrenheit, and since its winter, there will be a ton of freezing weather. EVs arnt just the smartest thing right now, make a super battery and we'll talk.
David Schnitzel VitanOct 21, 2011 The Problem is that companies think they can Tell the Media what to Write about their Cars. In the uk they are already threatening Magazines and Editors if anything Bad is written
Michael RileyOct 21, 2011 I don't blame Tesla, they spent a lot of time making this car what it is (awesome) and then for people to be talking shit and spreading lies about it, I'd be pissed.
Tucker GrimleyOct 21, 2011 Lol the car will get better Milage if you don't drive it, in the snow, in hot weather, in cold weather, to fast, on a track, to slow, come to think of it just don't drive it at all.... I would buy so many cars before I buy a tesla
Edith WhartonOct 21, 2011 The reason they are freaking out is because jeremy clarkson is very popular and a lot of people trust him so now tesla has a bad reputation.
Shane CarrollOct 21, 2011 Tesla acts like they've made the greatest car in all of human history and it's without fault. Wake up guys
That's no surprise, Elon Musk knows as much about batteries as the man and the moon and my 18 month old daughter!,
