Elon Musk and Joe Rogan talk about Top Gear's disgusting move agains Tesla years ago.

The Top Gear controversy surrounding Tesla in 2008 remains a contentious event in the history of both television and electric vehicles. Here's a breakdown of the situation:

In Season 12, Episode 7, Top Gear featured a review of the Tesla Roadster, then the only electric car on the market. The program showcased multiple supposed "failures" of the Roadster, including:

Running out of charge after 55 miles, significantly less than the advertised range.
Requiring four men to push the car into the hangar after supposedly depleting its batteries.
Suffering a brake failure and malfunctioning motor.

Tesla vehemently denied these claims, stating that the car never lost power, the pushing was staged, and the brake and motor issues were fabricated.

Tesla took legal action against BBC, accusing them of libel and malicious falsehood. The suit claimed the episode misrepresented the Roadster's performance and harmed the company's reputation.

The British High Court ultimately dismissed the majority of Tesla's claims. While the judge acknowledged some inaccuracies in the episode, he concluded that viewers wouldn't seriously believe the Roadster was unreliable based on the program's overall comedic and exaggerated style.

This episode cast a significant shadow over Tesla, then a fledgling company struggling to gain traction. Some industry experts believe it negatively impacted its sales and public perception.
