Jeremy Clarkson took the Tesla Roadster 'round the Top Gear track, saying it's "an astonishing technical achievement...it's just a shame that in the real world, it just doesn't seem to work." Video below.

The Top Gear boys got their fish and chips scented mitts on a couple of Telsa Roadsters (you'll see why) and gave it the full program. Loving videography, a little racing with a Lotus Elise and then they tossed it to the Stig for a run at the leaderboard. Take a look and see what the final verdict is yourself.
