I noticed the initial Munro review of the Model 3 emphasized crash safety: cutting the battery wires and exiting rear doors. Clarkson also discussed LiON battery behavior in a crash with the Model X. Yet curiously gasoline in a crash received no mention in either review. A common theme showing up that in a crash you'll die. Bob Wilson
Some of us have survived crashes. I was in my 1969 Corolla and survived in a Corolla sandwich on a freeway. It is never a good day when the officer passes your driveshaft through the broken rear window.
We must get the same news feed..... EV transportation is still in the "man bites dog" category. When this type of reporting fades, you'll know the EVolution is complete. Next, there will be more mainstream reporting on FCV's and the "dangers" of a hydrogen tank blowing making headlines.

Watched the video. Some misconceptions and some silly EV/Tesla ridicule for that ICE fan. But he actually had some very favorable things to say about the Model X. It also beat the more expensive Audi in his race where he drove the Model X.
I just noticed. Here is a text report about the video: Jeremy Clarkson Reviewed The Tesla Model X With A Team Of Six Lawyers | Gizmodo Australia The review starts off with him running through the Model X's various gimmicks and features, like the graphics choices of the giant dashboard screen, the Autopilot functionality on the highway and the complimentary summon feature, the typical display of the van's impressive performance with a drag race against a supercar (this time an Audi R8 V10) before ending on a display of the Model X's "celebration mode" of flashing lights and swinging doors. Then the review goes on to Clarkson's drawbacks of the Model X, which the episode's synopsis describes as "legally perilous." To make sure Clarkson doesn't dive into issues with libel law again, he's forced to pack the six passenger seats of the Model X with The Grand Tour's legal team. . . . Bob Wilson
