Could this be the worst designed car ever made? I really wish we could have a Top Gear episode on it.

James did a test drive and he seemed to kind of like it, it was on drive tribe I think.

I would probably like it too if i didn't have to pay for it and keep it and maintain it. These cars aren't on the streets anymore in 10 years. They will never be street legal in a non shit hole country

Yep. He wasn't really reviewing the nuts and bolts, just the drive experience. I didn't get the impression he got a ton of time with it and only spent an afternoon puttering around. It felt below his standard honestly for thoroughness.

Top Gear itself was not kind to the Tesla Roadster when Clarkson reviewed it back in 2008 or whatever it was, though.

I'm pretty sure it was on his Gin channel

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes actually, I do recall him making a plug about his gin now that you mention it! Thank you!

Whislindiesel made short work of one of these cars, absolutely glorious

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, how many times have they recalled these same, like, 5,000 trucks? This is at least the third massive recall.

Is it worse than the Delorean?
