They also had Top Gear faking a Tesla roadster break down to 'dramatize' the car running out of battery power. Tesla said there was no possible way the car could have run out of juice given the number of laps and speeds. Which later revealed that nearly all of Top Gear's tests are scripted just like a WWF wrestling match.
