Imagine being able to hit 80mph in that on your driveway* . 100mph challenge for some of his quicker cars then?
* farm road that you own - same same.

Didn't we all already know about the LE? It's been around at least a couple of years. Tiff and/or 5th Gear did a bit iirc.
A good vid anyway, he'll have to get a speed trap for the drive now

Was Harry paid for the Tesla 3 video?
Not one criticism on build quality ?

That one was about Frontline MG with Mazda engine/gearbox.

Doubt it. He's probably not a spaz and didn't want to repeat what's been said a thousand times over and concentrated on the drive and technology instead.
No-one, and I mean no-one buys a Tesla for its build quality, regardless of price. They buy one because it's the best, usable electric car out there by a country mile.
If you wanted build quality, you'd sink your cash into a Merc or similar.

'didn't want to repeat what's been said a thousand times over' but he did on the positive points
Not entirely objective

May be he didn't have an issue with the build quality??

I was wondering why Harry started wearing a Tesla pin on his lapel
If you want a decent built electric car, buy a Taycan and suck up having to use a slightly inferior public charging system.

And suck up paying at least twice as much.

I can't say I'd be overly impressed if I''d spent Model3 money and it comes with those panel gaps. They've been building cars long enough now, no excuses for gaps you can stick your hand in.

To be fair, they started with a rebadged electric Lotus so they probably worked hard to improve the panel gaps

My point was, Harry's video was about real world range and the Tesla infrastructure compared to the Jag he tested earlier. Not build quality.
I think the man has enough money and integrity not to accept a measly bung from Elon, don't you?

Top up to compensate for this years abysmal crop yield - haven’t you been watching Harry’s farm?!

I think you're seriously overestimating the brown envelope power of Tesla over the EU.
That, and crop and farming consultancy is surprisingly high margin stuff.

I like Harry but just consider he was the unofficial PR guy for Maserati and for bloody years EVO mag was just one big advert for Pagani and Porsche

And seat- not had the mag for a couple of years- do they still have the back cover on every issue?

Harry has encouraged Tyrells to do some vids.
Not quite a “watchable” as Harry, but I really enjoyed this one. Some great details and insights - I had absolutely no idea about the steering for example - bizarre!
