Tesla Issues Response To Top Gear Review [Top Gear]
Wed, Dec 17 | from Jalopnik
All was well in Top Gear land for the review of the Tesla Roadster. Clarkson’s usual suspicious attitude was quickly wiped clean when he raced a standard Lotus Elise, as the little electric-that-could tore past the Elise in the straights, but like the stereotype of many American cars, too...

Opinion: The Greatest Transportation Moments of a Year We Want to Forget
Rarely can a year-end review get as depressing as in 2008. In January we were anxiously awaiting the Tesla, Smart, and Volt. Now we really can't afford a Tesla, we can't even afford a Smart, and we're still awaiting the Volt (though not as anxiously, since we definitely won't be able to afford...

Opinion: Clarkson Ignores BBC's Carefully Worded Response, Responds To Tesla On His Own [Top Gear]
Clearly, it's impossible to imagine the Tesla Roadsters having any build-quality issues given CEO Elon Musk's recent statements. Maybe an evil genius Tesla engineer went back in time and cut the brakes, hoping to kill off Clarkson before the review could run.

Opinion: Tesla responds to Top Gear's test of Roadster
Tesla Motors is crying foul on a few of the claims made by Jeremy Clarkson in his recent review of the electric Roadster. You might recall that Clarkson ran out of juice while flinging the slinky Lotus-derived Tesla around the Top Gear test track. This was the main point driven home by the TG cr...

Opinion: Tesla clarifies some of Top Gear's "mischaracterizations"
A second issue that Clarkson had with the Roadster is with the brakes. Apparently, all of that race track flinging managed to blow a fuse in what we're assuming must be the regenerative braking system. After the fuse was replaced, there were no more problems. Our take on this is that a blown fus...
