James May's Tesla Model S has failed!
You can legitimately hate them because you don't like Top Gear or rich people. But here, May is just pointing out a very stupid design flaw. Calling a mechanic won't make the problem go away. He spent an hour looking into the problem, and it's an education for fellow Tesla owners. Is that a crime?
I guest that Tesla Roadster episode especially pissed you off? They're petrolheads, of course they bash the Roadster in those early days of EV to justify the V8 and V12s for their vroom vroom thrills. It's called TV antics (deceptive? Yes). Most have come around to recognize EV is the future. You think every races/segments in Top Gear are unscripted? Come on... Top Gear's been just pure entertainment and no reporting every since Clarkson took over the rein.
Why does James May (or anyone else for that matter) have a
£100k car standing parked for months? A: hes got too much money and cars, thats why. its obscene. if he doesnt drive the fucking thing, sell it, rent it out or better yet, loan it out to someone in need. he'll be helping someone, saving the environment, and get rid of his stupid battery problem, which, if he can afford to have a tesla sitting unused and charged in a garage, he could afford a mechanic to fix for him.
The top gear assholes succeeds to disappoint again, like the time they faked problems with the tesla roadster to give it a thumbs down.
Fuck off , James May.

Crazy Japanese Lambos - BBC Top Gear
Sorry, but they should have let Top Gear die. The new hosts are just awful and boring. I'm so glad we have The Grand Tour on Amazon, what a coup for Bezos.

Frankie Boyle - The US Election
If the name Peter Sutcliffe doesn't mean anything to you, he was quite fond of murdering prostitutes. Clarkson also referenced him many years ago on Top Gear.
Your mom's Camry could outrun Magnum PI
Top Gear did an episode about old supercars, those things lose quite a bit of HP over the years:

Ferrari F40 + Snow Chains + Snowy Mountain = Win!
Reminds me of that Top Gear with the old supercars:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx0S3cIW-q8
Based on that, it's surprising the thing made it up the hill at all.
Kit car is a really good guess, explains the lights on the hood, and the silly wing in the back which I don't think any Ferrari's have.
I think it's a kit car.
Crazy Race Car Accident - Stacked Porsche 911s
Feels like a Top Gear episode.
I Made A Mistake I Bought A (Lemon) Jeep
I don't think Jeeps ever had AMC branding here, before Chrysler bought AMC they were just Jeep, but like he says there are plenty of other reliable choices he could've made (Toyota Hilux for instance, Top Gear proved that the old ones were virtually indestructable).
*quality screw you to Chrysler...should have gone old school and bought an AMC Jeep, they're bomb proof!

The Last Ever Top Gear
I think the previous drama over Clarkson have been quite overblown tbh. The slope thing was ignorance from the production as much as it was Clarkson. I'm not convinced he even said nigger, and comedians have made India (and others) the butt of more tasteless jokes without complaint. Frankly, I have found him more disagreeable when it comes to his dismissal of speeding and climate change, attitudes which in my opinion may well have done far more damage than making off-hand remarks about the work ethics of Mexicans.
I think a lot of "Clarkson" is a bit of an act. Likewise with Hamster and May, they are playing caricatures. Unfortunately for Clarkson, I think he ended up caricaturing himself to some degree. It has been difficult to determine where Clarkson the person ended and where Clarkson the personality started. Perhaps even he wasn't sure where the line was.
Anyway, I think the decision to sack him (or rather, not renew his contract) is right. Sadly, because of the previous threats (empty?) to get rid of him following each blunder, Clarkson's dismissal will be seen as a coup rather than the fair application of the same rules we all expect to be judged by.
I'll be interested to see what happens to Top Gear. My guess would be that Clarkson has not been exiled, but suspended for an undisclosed period. I'd start watching the show again if they brought in new hosts, and I'd probably keep watching if the show wasn't quite so blokey with quite such predictable characters making staged goofs every show.
The Last Ever Top Gear
Let's see: during the incident in question, he called the produced a "lazy irish cunt" (and as much as everyone thinks it's fucking hilarious, racism against the Irish is still racism)
Then there was the "slope on a bridge" incident.
Not to mention the "catch a nigger" quote, or the mexican incident or the Indian special, during which Clarkson built a toilet into the back of a Jaguar, claiming it would be "perfect" for tourists because "everyone" who visits the country suffers diarrhoea, sparked a complaint from the Indian High Commission.
Nah.. no evidence at all.
What on earth, and on what evidence, do you base your absurd comment?????
John Cleese on Stupidity
The Dunning Kruger effect relates to peoples inability to assess their competence at a task they are already doing.
You might correctly assume that you can't speak Japanese or perform surgery, but once you start learning either, you will almost certainly overestimate your own ability early on.
The other thing that's important to note is that it doesn't necessarily relate to stupidity but competence. Stupidity is inherent, competence is learned. As you become more competent with a skill, you are better able to accurately rate your own ability.
In other words, even smart people will tend to overestimate their abilities until they know better.
For example, I've been aware of this phenomenon for nearly a decade. I've never driven a race car. Intellectually, I know that I'm not the next Senna in disguise, but even then I will catch myself looking at F1 or even the muppets on Top Gear and thinking "I could do that".
What? That's not stupidity, that's delusion. I've known some people who are really stupid, but they're still not gonna go "Japanese? Yeah, I guess I could speak that... Calculus? Probably something I know how to do." There are some really dumb, incompetent, humble people out there, who assume they can't do much of anything, and some smart, overconfident people who think that whatever other people are good at, is probably easy. It's not related to their level of competence, but to whatever bullshit the world has told them about their own relative ability.
