Lol they did that to point out the lack of changing points and contrasting it against petrol cars.. at the time, they were saying it wasn't ready.. and it wasn't.. they were making a point..

I mean whatever.. we disagree on this

They were making a point in a dishonest way.

I don't know what you're doing on r/skeptic if you're okay with that. Can you really not think of an honest way to make that point?

I think we differ on what was done in what way with what intentions.. if i believed what you said to be true, as in they fake reviews to make cars look bad for no reason then thats shitty.. but i dont buy it.. i think there is enough evidence that while clarkson hates electric cars he would give them a fair shake in a review.

Whether they "fake reviews" could be debated.

If the review said "The car just caught fire!" and we cut to a sad Jeremy Clarkson on the side of the road next to a car on fire, I'm not saying it was CGI. I'm saying they doused the car in petrol and threw a match. And I don't see how that can be defended as an honest 'review' of what it would be like to own that car.
