Top Gear: Tesla loses appeal over Jeremy Clarkson review

Appeal court dismisses claim that show damaged car's sales, after manufacturer gets into online spat with New York Times

Tesla complained about a passage of Clarkson's commentary in which he said: "Although Tesla say it will do 200 miles, we worked out that on our track it would run out after just 55 miles and if it does run out, it is not a quick job to charge it up again." Clarkson and others are then shown pushing the Roadster into the Top Gear hangar and recharging it.
