If I remember correctly, Top Gear did not say the roadster ran out of batteries and had to be pushed. Rather, they said if it ran out of batteries, you may have to push it, and demonstrated with the car turned off. This looks bad, but isn't technically libel.


...and is as useless as showing pushing any car ever made because it ran out of it's primary energy source (usually gasoline).


Except that, you know, gas is everywhere and a tank lasts more than a hundred miles.

Not accurate on both counts.

1. If I drive East West or North from my house right now on major national highways, I won't find a gas station for many hundreds of KMs in any direction.

2. The Veyron will drain it's gas tank in ~10 minutes, as will other high-performance cars that achieve 1/4 mile results similar to the Model S. http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1206_2013_bugatt...

Wow, how many nines does he have to hit to be considered accurate?
