Yeah...and Tesla is still selling all they can make at a premium, correct? There is a wait list on a $100,000 car during a depression...seems Top Gear really put a dent in the sales.

And, I am willing to bet that flogging the thing around a test track at WOT will shorten the battery life quite quickly on ANY battery powered car. The Top Gear segment on the Tesla was entertaining...that was all. After watching, I still found the Tesla to be what it is: an expensive and cool Golf Cart that I will never be able to afford nor desire to own.

When Jeremy Clarkson test drove the 2006 M5 he beat the p^ss out of it and broke the rear differential. He made it a point to tell the millions of viewers that the car looked like a "baboon's backside" and that it broke when he drove it...calling the car very fragile. Did BMW sue? No. Let it go Tesla...nobody cares.
