Tesla on Top Gear

Russ Sciville pointed out on the Thunder Sky list that the Tesla was on Top Gear this weekend. You want season 12 episode 7 if you're looking for it online (ie 12x07).

Clarkson was very impressed, it beat a regular Elise in a drag race but the Elise could take the Tesla in the corners. To me, the Tesla didn't look very stable when cornering. They had two and ran one flat (of course). While charging, it had some sort of brake failure. The other overheated, is the Tesla's motor water or air cooled?

The Stig drove it to the same time as a Porsche 911 GT3 and substantially faster than the Elise on their test track.

They follow this up with a caravan jump, and a very positive and uncritical review of the Honda FCX Clarity.
