The electric Tesla thrashes the petrol Lotus Elise in a drag race. Clarkson is obviously amazed - &quot;God almighty:, &quot;this is biblically quick!&quot; - &quot;this car is electric, literally!&quot;. &quot;Wave goodbye to dial-up, welcome to broadband motoring!&quot;.  Then he says how much torque it produces, how quick it is from 0 to 60, and then: &quot;it&apos;s even more &apos;not bad&apos; when you start looking into the costs&quot;: £40 to fill the petrol Elise, electricity just £3.50. Wind noise is a problem, but &quot;a small price to pay when you consider the upsides&quot;. &quot;And I haven&apos;t even got to the big upside yet: 200 miles between trips to the plug.&quot; Some adverse comments about the handling, but then he waves goodbye as &quot;the volt head&quot; cruises past the &quot;petrol head&quot;. &quot;It is snowing in hell!&quot;. &quot;This car was shaping up to be something wonderful...&quot;&lt;p&gt;After a pretty positive first half, Clarkson does indeed go on to make fun of the car&apos;s electrical problems, and then is unimpressed by the practicalities and ecological claims of electric vehicles. Even with a range of 250 miles, and a 16 hour recharge cycle (if you&apos;re not throwing it around a track), it&apos;s just not - yet - a practical car for many people, or a supercar to compete with the likes of Ferrari or Porsche.&lt;p&gt;Clarkson&apos;s final words on the Tesla: &quot;Incredible - but irrelevant [in the light of the hydrogen car reviewed later]&quot;.&lt;p&gt;As Top Gear and Clarkson reviews go, I thought it wasn&apos;t overly biased. I mean, he could have dropped a piano on it, or set it on fire...&lt;p&gt;I suspect Tesla are just in the need for some publicity at the moment.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Top Gear responds to Tesla</title><url>http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2011/04/02/tesla-vs-top-gear-andy-wilman-on-our-current-legal-action/</url></story>

As anyone who has ever watched Jeremy Clarkson will tell you, you know he would rather resign from Top Gear than apologise for this.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Top Gear responds to Tesla</title><url>http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2011/04/02/tesla-vs-top-gear-andy-wilman-on-our-current-legal-action/</url></story>
