I like Tesla, and wish them really well, but it's TOP GEAR... I love Top Gear, but to expect any sort of honest, unbiased, and completely factual review from them is madness in the first place. That's really what makes the show so great is that it is nothing but jokes. The only thing in it though, is that there's a little bit of truth behind every funny joke...

Agreed. I love Tesla. I'm really excited by what they're doing, and have nothing but admiration for Elon Musk.

However, Top Gear have made their reputation winding people up. He was being pretty touchy by responding.

Of course, only time will tell in the case of the NYT.
