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.
The be all end all of the situation as any engineer who was there would state was that Tesla delivered a shit product and they got what they deserved.

As a track car the Tesla fails because of the battery recharge time (3.5HR) and the overheating problems. It is currently air cooled.

100% And if the brake problem had to do with regen, a fuse failure is a pretty big deal especially if that fuse is within the motor inverter..

They should be happy Clarkson even gave any attention to the volt or whatever it is.
