Jeremy Clarkson, a renowned TV presenter, recently expressed his frustration towards former Top Gear colleague Chris Harris. This was after Chris reportedly agreed with the claims that the show's Tesla road test was faked. It all started in 2008 when Jeremy, along with his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May, tested a Tesla roadster on their show. The car broke down, and Jeremy claimed that it could only go for 55 miles on their test track. The trio even had to push the vehicle to recharge it. This led to a three-year-long legal battle between the BBC and Elon Musk's Tesla company. The court eventually ruled in the BBC's favor, but there's still speculation that the test was fabricated for entertainment purposes. Jeremy denies these claims and has now slammed Chris for agreeing with them.
During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Chris discussed the infamous Tesla road test. Joe Rogan confidently stated that the test was made up, sparking tension between him and Chris. The situation revolves around the 2008 episode where the trio tested the Tesla. Despite the court's decision, Chris admitted that the show was "naughty" with the test and that he had to be careful with his words. He even revealed that car shows are often scripted for a particular outcome. Drawing from his own experience on the show, Chris explained that they were often told what to do to achieve the desired result.
Jeremy, who left Top Gear after punching a producer, expressed his frustration with Joe and Chris' skepticism in an article for The Sun. He claimed that it annoys him when they perpetuate the myth that the Tesla test was unfair. He reiterated that the court had ruled in the BBC's favor, and their road tests were always fair. Jeremy also debunked the theory that the show purposefully chose a license plate, which led to him being chased out of a province in Argentina. He described the theory as "made-up."
After two decades of various scandals, Jeremy is finally hanging up his car show presenting hat as the finale of The Grand Tour airs. The Grand Tour is a show where Jeremy, Richard, and James reunited after leaving Top Gear. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Jeremy revealed that he's leaving the show because he's too old and fat to get into the cars he likes. He's now focusing on his successful show, Clarkson's Farm, where he runs a 1,000-acre farm. He also recently opened his pub, which came with its own set of troubles.
As for Chris, he also shared his perspective on Freddie Flintoff's near-fatal crash, which resulted in the show being put on hold. Chris admitted that he had warned the BBC about the dangers of the show three months before the accident. He claimed that he told them that if they didn't change something, someone would die on the show. According to Chris, he raised his concerns months before the incident, but nothing was done. He even went as far as saying that he warned them that there could be a fatality if things didn't change.
