Court rules Top Gear did not libel Tesla

Court rules Top Gear did not libel Tesla

Tesla's libel suit against Top Gear was dealt a crushing blow with London's court ruling that no Top Gear viewer would have reasonably assumed the Tesla Roadster's on-track performance on the show relates to its real-world capabilities. As you might recall, Top Gear's review of the Roadster concluded by claiming that, "In the real world, it doesn't seem to work" (watch it here). But that's just Top Gear being, well, Top Gear, implies Justice Tugendhat:.

In my judgment, the words complained of are wholly incapable of conveying any meaning at all to the effect that the claimant misled anyone.
