Roadster on Top Gear

[EVFest]

Anyone ever get a chance to get on site during a Top Gear production event? Have the office Address or their Mobile Studio Vehicle Plates? We could have fun with those pieces of information, maybe a photo or two of them from a traffic cam or two!

Beyond that - it sounds like the basic idea of --- Kids become violent because of watching Violent Movies. Well - Top Gear 'Kids' must have watched quite a few then!

I was in the audience of the filming of the pilot show.

The address is well known as Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey.

I would love the chance to attend a taping of the show, even better would be to actually drive around the track!

Top Gear has legs. I'm getting regular comments about it at the Canadian International Auto Show.

Fortunately I can easily dismiss their comments, as I've had my Roadster at Shannonville Motorports Park, and was able to run all day with a top-up on NEMA 14-50 between each session.

On the bright side, only one person has brought up the brick nonsense so far.

Yesterday, I read a brief note in an AOL news item that Tesla had lost the second law suit with BBC/Top Gear. The judge threw the law suit out, basically saying that everyone knows when you flog a car it gets poor mileage. AOL was just repeating news from one of the automobile blogs (don't remember which.) I expected the real story to be discussed here, but I haven't seen it mentioned. Did I dream this or did it just get lost in the Brick story?

Lost in the brick story.

Lost in the brick story.

Perhaps a silver lining in the cloud that was the brick story?

There's enough bricks in this thread to build a fabulous facade.

If everyone knows that, then why did they compare their track number to the number from Tesla ? In order to make themselves look like liars?
