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.

Nice.
When the 302 the jeep came with had issues I replaced it with a 360 from an early Wagoneer that I had rebuilt. Nice thing about amc motors is all v8's are pretty much identical on the outside, so swaps are simple. Same emission control system as yours.

Skinny tires, V8's, and sand. A winning combination for *motorsports fun

Yes, one wheel.
Because he has a car with a differential and the other wheel is stationary, all the rotational energy goes to the transmission, clutch, then flywheel, then crankshaft. By putting it in low gear, he gains enough mechanical advantage to spin the motor past top dead center on a cylinder and has enough battery power left to get a spark (i think he doesn't spin it fast enough to generate one), and once one cylinder fires, it spins itself up to proper rpms.
This only works on open diffs, manual transmissions, and smaller, low compression motors. You could never pull hard enough to start a big v8 like this unless your name is Magnus.

Mine came back as 3.8. It says: "Your total score is 0.4x the national average". However, it does fail to take into account that I drive a v8 with open headers. Though, I do drive it sparingly these days, and typically just to the gym and back. I bus to and from work.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. A V8 converts gasoline into CO2, water and heat which increases pressure within a cylinder and in turn propels a piston that moves the car. This uses air to move a piston (and could be used to move a car). Gas = air in this example.

I think my point was missed here.
It is impressive - no argument there.
But it's not an engine, and couldn't run anything. It's powered by an outside source. It doesn't create energy, it's the recipient of energy. I suppose if you want to credit it as a motor, you could credit it the same as an electronic motor, which uses outside energy, but not as a V8 engine which generates it's own energy.

Not me, but I remember I hosed my custom built PC with Norton Utilities v8.0 for DOS' Disk Defrag due to VERIFY=ON bug.

Yeah but could you imagine if this thing was filled up with weed? Light that thing up and full throttle, baby!

Make a smokable version of this V8 and THAT would be impressive.

Hah, go the Tesla!

Now let's give the Tesla guys a few weeks to build the equivalent race version of the Model S and watch it annihilate the V8 Supercar even more.
