When Top Gear Tried its Best to Stop Tesla and Elon Musk
suctions show is much more about
entertainment than is about truth this
call then really was shaping up
something wonderful although Tesla say
it will do 200 miles we worked out that
a la track it would run out after just
55 miles and and then also we would we
drop the car off one of our guys happen
to see a script sitting on the table
already dropped the car off and so
reading through the script and in the
script the car breaks down like wait a
second you wrote the script before we
even gave you the car so there’s
something wrong wrong about that oh I
don’t believe this the motors
overheating and I’ve got reduced power
[Music]
while it cooled down we went to get the
silver car out again
only to find that what it was being
charged its brakes had broken but he
does have a strong bias against electric
cars and he particularly since paid
American like his two pet peeves are
Americans American cars and electric
cars and we are an American electric car
so we’re cooler in the worst possible
situation for someone like Clarkson so
to me this is missionary activity you’re
over here trying to convert jerk Jeremy
Clark I don’t think it will be any
converting of Jeremy Clarkson that seems
quite unlikely not everyone’s a fan back
on earth Tesla sued the program top gear
after it rubbish the Tesla Roadster has
low lot so what it must think about
Jeremy Clarkson I think what Clarkson
fluxes show is much more about
entertainment than is about truth and I
think most people realize that but not
everyone and I’ve actually enjoyed a lot
of his shows so it’s not as though I
just hate Top Gear or anything he can be
very funny and irreverent but he does
have a strong bias against electric cars
and he particularly seems to hate
American it’s like his two pet peeves
are American American cars and electric
claws and we are an American electric
car so we’re in the worst possible
situation for someone like Clarkson so
just me this is missionary activity
you’re over here trying to convert a
jerk Jeremy Clark I don’t it’ll be any
converting of Jeremy Clarkson that seems
quite unlikely
as well you also bought the James Bond
look oh yeah right the one spring from
the style of Lee exactly and I mean you
know I can see the fun in that obviously
but that is the reason that defies the
funkiest no there’s no there’s no grand
project there’s no there is no we’re not
going to mass-produce you know it is
freeze dead Chinese submarine what I’m
going to try to do in this is a very
sort of low priority project because
I’ve got my day jobs but we want to see
if we can make it do what it appears to
do in the movie for real I don’t have
any successful but we’re trying even
think
