Top Gear video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F28i1D1OJ5o Top Gear Clarification: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/porsche-taycan-vs-tesla-model-s-drag-race-clarification DragTimes video: https://youtu.be/lE9eJtG8jaU A few days ago I was delighted to finally see a comprehensive head to head test of the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S Performance by Top Gear. After watching the video I noticed that the 0-60 time in particular was significantly slower than many of my friends who race their Performance Model S track times. When you go back and watch the video again you notice a few oddities: 1) They don’t disclose what the specific state of charge is for either car. They only say “both cars have over 85% charge”. 2) Though they do show the Taycan launch mode being set, they conveniently avoid showing the S. 3) Warp Speed mode is not enabled, which is a level above Ludicrous+, according to my friend Eli Burton who owns a Performance Model S. This is evident because the battery and motor metrics should be seen on the screen like what my friend Michael from Taiwan sent over. You do not see that in the Top Gear video. And as my buddy Brooks from DragTimes also brings up in his video questioning Top Gears times, they don’t indicate whether it was in launch mode where the car lowers down (I’ll link his video in the description). In his video he mentions track times from various Model S owners and surprise surprise the top 4 quarter mile times are better than the Taycan. These convenient omissions created such a stir among the EV community online that it caused Top Gear to respond in a post on their website: There have been some questions about the performance figures we posted in our recent Porsche Taycan vs Tesla Model S video. Time for some clarification. First things first, we ran the drag race five times and the Porsche won every time by a small but increasing margin with each subsequent race. The best figures we recorded for the Taycan Turbo S were: 0-60: 2.61 0-100: 6.12 ¼ mile: 10.69s @ 131.6mph The best figures we recorded for the Tesla Model S Performance were: 0-60: 2.83 0-100: 6.64 ¼ mile: 11.23s @ 123.2mph The numbers we posted in the video for the Tesla were: 0-60: 2.68 0-100: 6.46 ¼ mile: 11.08s @ 124.0mph These were numbers we recorded in a Model S on a previous occasion. We ran them because these are the best figures we’ve achieved in a Model S to date so we know that’s what the car is capable of. And just to be clear, the Tesla was in Ludicrous+ mode, the battery was pre-conditioned and both cars had around 85 per cent charge before the first run. So, let me get this straight: You didn’t disclose what the specific SOC was for either car You didn’t disclose whether Launch Mode or Warp Speed was enabled in the S You used Model S times from 2017 without disclosure And you failed to mention that Range Mode was turned on for the S To me, the only conclusion I can come to is that you manipulated the truth to make it fit a specific outcome. Sound familiar? Top Gear got into hot water back in 2008 when Elon Musk claimed the car review group fictitiously stated that the Tesla Roadster they were testing ran out of battery after only 55 miles of use and brake failure. According to Elon, after dropping off the Roadsters, one of his employees noted that in the script for the Top Gear episode they planned for the car to break down ahead of the recording. Furthermore, after looking at the car logs it had never dropped below 20% state of charge. In summary, Top Gear does not have the best track record for reviewing Teslas. It saddens me that Top Gear is twisting the truth for the sake of views instead of impartiality. Every Top Gear viewer should question their objectivity every time they watch one of their videos.
