Phil, made up for entertainment or not it is the perception that is given to this car.
I think this car looks great and once they get the bugs ironed out will be a great car. But one has to question about its reliabilty,costs and practicality.

“which has been reported as a Windows based system, which is a little scary.”

Hmm. I would have thought more flaming comments with a statement like that

I love it (apart from the interior).

Frenchie, there’s been some speculation that Topgear made some of that stuff up for entertainment value.. Including the whole pushing it back into the garage. As much as I love Topgear, I wouldn’t rely on their technical accuracy. It’s just fun.

Topgear tested a Tesla roadster. It didn’t do the 200 mile range that it claimed (more like 55). It takes 16 hours to charge up and is prone to mechanical break downs. The asking price in the UK is 92,000 pounds which once they start mass production will come down.

On the up side though it absolutely killed a Lotus Elise in a straight line!

Wow i love it. If this really is a Tesla, they definitely have a winner on their hands. Proof that electric cars don’t have to all look like a wedge of cheese. Takes cues from 3 of my favourite designs, Mazda, Aston Martin and Jag. Very nice.
