Top Gear recently released a head-to-head comparison between the 2019 Tesla Model S Performance and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, sensibly concluding they are both great performing vehicles with different goals and strengths.

The petrolheads at Top Gear have bashed Tesla from day one, constructing tests designed to expose its inherent weaknesses. Its sentiment seems to have shifted, though, if its latest review of the Model 3 Performance is any indication.
Top Gear has released the video accompanying its recent report of a Tesla Model 3 Performance beating a BMW M3 around a race track, which we covered last week. Check out the video here!

You would need a medical clearance for doing that. I get blurry vision below 4 seconds, so what’s the point?

By Matt Pressman With all the hoopla surrounding Tesla Motors’ recent launch of its P100D Model S, you’d expect the automotive media to ignore Tesla’s entry-level model. Not so. The folks at Top Gear* recently reviewed the 60D and came away thrilled: “even this baby Tesla is … [continued]

Originally published on EV Obsession (with some picture changes). What’s the best car of 2014? According to Top Gear, it’s the BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid electric car with a slick look, great acceleration, and the ability to conveniently charge up at home. This is no small deal.
