I lost a little respect for Top Gear when I heard Elon Musk talking about the episode where they tested a Tesla. He said they had a script written with the Tesla breaking down before they even got the car and it didn't actually break down, they just pretended it did for the show. I knew those shows were all fake with manufactured arguments and drama but I didn't think they would go as far as just pretending a care broke down when it didn't.

You really think James Mays' vehicle just happened to break or crash in every episode by chance?

Pretending a car breaks down on a show that goes into car performance is a shit move. It would be like if I made a show about computer parts and every single video card I use bursts into flames, even if I am only playing minesweeper

No one said it was hard to believe they said it is shitty.
I agree. Yeah it’s entertaining but it’s supposed to be based around how cars behave and perform. Faking a breakdown causes the audience to think ”wow that car is not reliable.”
Fastest Car is pretty entertaining. I’d feel duped if those breakdowns and wrecks and life stories were all just fake.

one of my favorite top gear moments was Clarkson driving that 3 wheeled car down a hill and tumbling down at the end. i found out that was staged to do that. its still my favorite scene.

That car was known to do that though so at least it was based on fact.

ya know, i'm giving TG a pass for that. Tesla had some problems early in production, hell they still have glitches. maybe the TG guys were running this car full throttle the entire time and they miscalculated what Musk claims "driving quickly" meant to him. maybe the car they gave to TG to review had an issue with the batteries. fucking Hammond burned down some electric car and i dont think that was a staged event because the thing wouldnt stop exploding and could have been super deadly if that happened in the middle of a crowded city.

As much as I'd like to go back to 2011... I certainly don't want to live the last 10 years over again.

Would be 17 years here, but same. And I love how stating a simple fact apparently rustled some jimmies. I'm not happy the guy killed himself or anything, but 28 really isn't all that young. At that point you've had a decade of being an adult, and 7 years of legal boozing. More than enough time to realize that life can be pretty shitty, have worked a job or three, and maybe spawned a kid or two.

I mean, I'd like to feel 28 again. In that respect it's pretty young. And he could have lived another 50. I'd definitely go back to 17 and relive to 28 again. That shit was bomb.
