That was a joke man.

Top Gear obviously fudged the test and got caught. Nothing surprising though. It’s an entertainment program that will do anything to maximize the entertainment value.
I wouldn’t buy the Taycan even if money is no object. The price disparity is just too large for anyone not to notice. I don’t want people to look at me as a money no object person. That kind of implies money is all I have.
Tesla actually offered other manufacturers to use its superchargers with a fee. There was no takers though.
Then there is the Model 3 performance. Slightly slower 0-60 and VERY capable on tracks at 1/3 the price. You got to really hate Tesla to not consider it.
Smart people do things. Smart a** say why things will not work.
In other words re-introduce the center tunnel EV was able to get rid of.
Just to put it in perspective driving while dozing off is the second highest cause for auto fatality only slightly behind alcohol use. 6,000 people die on the highway every year because of that. Long boring drive probably is when this is the worse. Autopilot will actually make the situation much safer. We should…
Oh please. You see people drive recklessly on the road all the time. Some even deliberately drive over the cliff. Are you going to ask regulatory agencies to ban cars to use our public roads altogether?
“Rare” earth are everywhere. Refining can be costly for mot countries other than China because of environment concerns. When there is a market mining and refining, which had been abundant in the US and other countries, can be revived in a short time. There are probably activities on going already.
Assuming there’s no Tesla then those automakers would have to make their own clean cars. Further assuming they will not be able to make clean cars economically then they will just have to sell those ICE cars, especially those popular SUV’s or trucks, at a higher cost or to sell less of them, which essentially will be g…
And it has only two row seating. Model X at about the same weight has 3 row up to 7 passenger and more interior room. Talk about (in)efficiency!
This makes absolutely no sense. The author probably has never owned an EV and does not know 95%+ of the time it’s charged inside the garage overnight. What is most important majority of times is how much range it has when you drive the car out of the garage in the morning. The best case is always that you will not…
The platform is copied exactly from Tesla’s. That’s not a problem they all do. The only question is why I’ve never seen Jalopnik this excited about the Tesla platform?
Pretty lame- both the truck and the story.
I guess you like V8 instead of turbo charged 4/6 because you like torquey engine with little delay. You should really try drive an EV, especially a Tesla. I bet you will not want to go back to your lethargic V8 car again.
Everyone knows Tesla ships all productions to oversea markets in the begining of a quarter and very little to the US market until toward later half of the quarter. Whether you like the practice or not the purpose is to minimize number of cars in transportation when they report the quarter’s result. And it has been…
What’s wrong with destroying the traditional customer base. It’s a dying breed anyway. Millennials and young techies have different wants and needs. That’s what Porsche is after. Didn’t you see even Harley is going electrical?
A lot of people mentioned global warming. That’s a valid reason but not the true reason. No company would take risks and sacrifice profits just to be a good citizen. Why is Porsche or even Lambo are more seriously about electric than Toyota or Mazda that sells lot more cars? Because it’s very clear by now combustion…
What a pathatic thought from the big commercial director/producer. Many of us like indy type movies. Netflix is the best place those filmmakers could count on.
