    I believe that Mat could be the only person able to return Top Gear to its former greatness. Of course no one could really predict how that would go, but it would certainly be the only thing to make me come back to watching it. Just imagine Mat going on those Top Gear special/ Grand Tour style adventures; i would be sooo happy about that, but even the regular episodes would probably be a blast to watch.

    Carwow is by a margin the most consistent car reviewer in the English speaking world. If they have a full review up for a car and filmed in the UK, I KNOW for a fact what will be tested and reviewed in the video. Alot of car websites and reviewers are inconsistent with what they show and how in depth they go in the review. I live in America and If I'm looking at a car that's also sold in the UK, I trust carwow to give me the most information on it.

It's an amazing car and you can buy one for the road the suction is adjustable and the power is as well you can dial in the HP upto a 1000 hp or you can dial it down for road use.

    Although I'm not live in the UK.
    It's still interesting to watch CARWOW review.
    I'm in fond of the fact that they always reveal the true price at first .
    It's a crucial factor for a normal person to consider a daily vehicle.
    Some channels just discuss FANCY tech, however, we still need to search for the price by ourselves in the end .

      No Mat is telling you he does not understand Tesla as an investor. And his hunch about valuation of the business is a classical investment mistake but you can tell that his interest in passive investment shows that. I think his honest is fresh on the issue.
      On a financial basis Tesla valuation seems to show that its intrinsic value is far lower than the market valuation.
      The problem with all of that is the financials do not give a true metric of long term valuation. Try doing that to the valuation of Apple and Microsoft in 1985. You would be way off the market if you used pure financials.

    Funny to see Tesla fans pitching Matt that same tired line about Tesla being a tech company.
    Tesla doesn't sell tech, does not generate any income from licensing technology. On its revenue statements almost all income comes from selling cars with just a trickle from their side gigs in solar/battery and just a touch of insurance. Maybe there is the possibility of sometime in the future licensing their tech but they aren't pursuing it today.

    I love Matt Watson. He's funny, competent, and has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor. It is astonishing to hear someone in his position and, with his experience, miss the boat so completely on Toyota. Toyota has no compelling electric vehicles, is committed to hydrogen obfuscation and bullshit, including the utter nonsense of a hydrogen combustion engine, and is even lobbying at this point to rollback emissions so that they can get a fig Leaf to cover up their total lack of real commitment to electrification. They also appear to be committed to serial lying about their genuinely mythical solid-state battery, which they've been promising year-to-year for many years, a far worse example of Elon's over-promising on full self-driving. Not only that but since Toyota and virtually all the other Japanese car companies have already crashed in China and are headed for bankruptcy or at least severe marginalization, they are going to take the Japanese economy with them. It's astonishing and frankly disappointing that Matt does not appear to see any of that.

I used my phone to start their charging session and they gave me some cash, I realised they'd overpaid and gave them a tenner back.

    It's worth noting that Tesla is actually not just a car company, they have the energy storage / battery and solar products as well as robotics as well. A lot of the price is also future potential. So yeah, priced as a car company its definitely overpriced. Tesla is difficult to price, now - its probably a good time to buy if you're in for the long haul. If you're looking for a quick buck, probably look elsewhere. But a lot of people fall into the same trap of thinking of Tesla as a car manufacturer, its not.
