BBC Top Gear: Clarkson lied about the Tesla
Clarkson is a pure petro head (anti-EV)... and his review is bias with prove.
Tesla complained about their roadster, where Clarkson ran out of juice, and the roadster had broken brakes, not true.

When I clicked on the video, all I got was "This video has been removed by the user." Guess we'll never know.

Most of TG points are true.
If you were at the track or any place outside of home where you don't have a quick charger/high power outlet it would take 16 hours to charge your car. A point TG was trying to make by saying the Honda FCX is the future as it doesn't have batteries that need to be charged.
As a track car the Tesla fails because of the battery recharge time (3.5HR) and the overheating problems. It is currently air cooled.
As for the brake problem Tesla's comments seem a bit funny. TG says it had brake problems, Tesla says it was a fuse. Well if a fuse caused the brakes not to work I think it would be a valid statement to say there were issues with the brakes.
