Tesla attempted to sue the BBC show for libel following Clarkson’s Top Gear film on the Tesla Roadster in 2008. A UK court of appeal eventually ruled in 2013 that the film did not damage Tesla’s reputation ... Now, however, Clarkson has revealed that his Amazon series will feature a new Tesla car, with The Grand Tour presenter saying it was time to “revisit” what the company has been getting up to. “We have got a Tesla in this series, the first one for a long time,” Clarkson said, adding, “We got it by ‘other means’. We didn’t borrow it from Tesla.” Referring to the libel case and subsequent appeal, he said, “You know they sued and lost, then appealed and lost that again? The courts found in our favour. I did a very fair and honest – cruel, but honest – report on how terrible that first Tesla was. “Since then they’ve changed a lot, so we thought it was time to revisit and see where they are now. And in many ways it’s extremely impressive that new Tesla.” In 2013, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told BBC Newsnight that Tesla was “in the worst possible position for someone like Clarkson”. “Clarkson’s show is much more about entertainment than it is about truth,” he said. “I think most people realise that but not everyone. I’ve actually enjoyed a lot of his shows. It’s not as though I just hate Top Gear or anything. He can be very funny and irreverent. But he does have a strong bias against electric cars. “His two pet peeves are American cars and electric cars, and we’re an American electric car. We’re in the worst possible situation for someone like Clarkson.” A Tesla car did feature on Top Gear following the 2008 review, although only after Clarkson had left the BBC for Amazon. New Top Gear presenter Rory Reid drove the Tesla Model X for a BBC Top Gear film in 2016. Clarkson explained that no motor company refused him a car for The Grand Tour series two. “Not this series,” Clarkson said. “It used to happen 20 years ago, and then people realised that what we do is good for ‘the car’ as a whole. If you take away us and Top Gear, there’s nobody actually fighting the car’s corner. It’s all just Gary Lineker and his mates on Twitter – ‘Isn’t cycling great? Shouldn’t we all be on the bus? Isn’t the air dirty?’ Nobody’s going, ‘But cars are great.’” Meanwhile, Richard Hammond’s crash in the all-electric Rimac Concept One supercar is set to feature in the opening episode of The Grand Tour series two. Hammond told the new issue of Radio Times that he hoped his family would not watch the segment. “It was pretty horrible for me to watch it back,” Hammond said. “I wanted to reach into the screen and stop myself being there, because I knew what was coming. I genuinely didn’t like it, and I don’t think (wife) Mindy or the girls should see it.” [© Immediate Media 2017] [videos The grand tour season 2 to feature tesla electric car: jeremy clarkson ... 3:58 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5ZyyQMTyQE 28th November 2017 - Uploaded by Popular News Jeremy Clarkson said it was time to "revisit" the electric car company following his infamous 2008 Top Gear ... dated Elon Musk Exposes Corrupt Top Gear (BBC) Jeremy ... 3:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf4PFocQBEw Jul 31, 2017 - Uploaded by EX0MATRlXTV credits video: Leonard Neuhoff http://goo.gl/GpQhMb Top 500 Alternative Media Rankings: http://whynotnews ... ] ... https://www.amazon.com/The-Grand-Tour-Season-2/dp/B0731VX6Q9 The Grand Tour 2 Seasons 2017 ... http://www.businessinsider.com/jeremy-clarkson-interview-grand-tour-amazon-tesla-ferrari-2016-11 Jeremy Clarkson reveals why he loves and hates Ferrari and Tesla Nov. 30, 2016 http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=search_page&node=413529&query=Tesla+sue+BBC Search evdl archive for Tesla Sues BBC ... http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=search_page&node=413529&query=Tesla+Top-Gear&days=0 Search evdl archive for Tesla Top-Gear For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
