    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.

    I like the way how Mat switched to "diplomatic mode" when it came to Elon.
    And I think he is completely right about the points he criticises then.

      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.

    Sometimes charging can be a great social experience. Other drivers tend to talk about their car and experience. I recently paid for a charge with my phone for a couple that couldn't get their bank card to work. 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.
