They said the data logged by the cars showed that none of these claimed events happened.

and fair enough. after all, their product was rubbished to a huge audience, for likely no reason besides the sake of entertainment.

i love top gear, but you gotta admit, they put shit on a lot of cars for no reason. sometimes they even praise a car, and then a few months later, they rubbish that same car.

jeremy changes his mind like a bitch on pms :)

i'm surprised they dont get sued more often.

Your not suppose to take what Mr Clarkson says seriously,

as Richard Hammond once said in one of the newer episodes:

Comparing a Beetle to a Porsche is like comparing an ape to a brain surgeon... or Jeremy to a brain surgeon

I think most manfucturers take what top gear says like a grain of salt. The show is good, but it's purely a entertainment spectacle rather than a factual review. If you bought you car on the advice of Top Gear, I'd feel sorry for you.

That being said, I can understand an electric car company trying to get its foot in the market will take it more personally than BMW or Mercedes, whom have been building good cars and selling a lot for a long time.

yup,its just entertainment.season 1,episode 4,gtr is the car for the playstation generation is what clarkson said.who cares,he still likes em.even if he calls them datsuns.search u tube for him in the 1000hp r33.its yellow.

Hahaha.

"You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on?"

Lol, Jackie Chiles had to be the best non-permanent character on that show.

Back on topic, does anyone know what 5th Gear said about the Tesla? They have better 'reviews' and I'd be interested to see how their experience differed from Top Gear's.

guys they are not suing them in the traditional sense. they are not asking for monetary compensation. if what they say is true then what they are asking for is more than reasonable.

"Tesla simply wants Top Gear to stop rebroadcasting the particular episode and to correct the record."

That seems fair to me given they claim to have the data logs as evidence.

+1

Big whoops, they're taking legal action to get their attentions after being ignored.

Good on them :)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
