That show is complete bullshit.

It was billed by Jeremy Clarkson as the ultimate test for an electric car – a drag race against a Lotus Elise on BBC2's Top Gear. And it was a test that the £92,000 Tesla appeared to fail after it dramatically slowed down on the show's test track and was pushed into a garage to await charging.
But it has since emerged that the Tesla, which can be powered from an ordinary domestic plug, did not run out of electricity.
The car's California-based manufacturer said that the charge on neither of the two Teslas used in the Top Gear test fell below 20%.
The BBC today denied it had misled viewers, saying that the programme had "at no time" claimed that the car had run out of power. Programme-makers instead showed it slowing down to illustrate what would happen when the car did run out of charge.

They even video-taped themselves pushing a car that had nothing at all wrong with it. Fuck Top Gear, its piece of shit host Jeremy Clarkson, and its whore producers. These assholes almost put a good company with a great product out of business. Fuck Top Gear.
