Jeremy Clarkson Wound Up “Something Rotten” By Chris Harris’ Claim On Joe Rogan Podcast That ‘Top Gear’ Faked A Scathing Tesla Review


Jeremy Clarkson denies 'Top Gear' ever faked a Tesla review after Chris Harris claimed on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' that the BBC show was "naughty."

In his weekly column in The Sun newspaper, Clarkson said he was wound up “something rotten” by Harris telling The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that the 2008 Tesla review was effectively faked. In the review of the Tesla Roadster, Clarkson said the battery died after 88km on a race track, that the vehicle’s brakes failed, the engine overheated, and that it took 16 hours to charge. During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Harris was generous about Clarkson, describing him as “the best” and revealing that he initially ruled out presenting Top Gear because he would be an “idiot” to believe he could succeed his predecessor.
