Tesla Model X Vs Audi Etron: Series 28 Episode 7 FULL Episode | Fifth Gear

[@FSX239]

It's amazing to see 5th gear outlive Top Gear as my favorite car program and most importantly uncorrupted by its hosts. Thanks to the team for all they do. Love you guys.

💯💯

100% concur. Fifth Gear is extremely underrated. Fifth Gear's informative yet fun presentation is unrivalled. I mean, they show you new vehicles, and then, in another segment, show you older alternatives to those vehicles. They even list common faults of the older vehicles they recommend! Jimmy's segment on explaining fundamental car technology for dummies like me is brilliant! Fifth Gear might not have a massive budget behind it like Top Gear does, but, it's perfected the balance of informative and fun. Man, I wish Tiff was still on the roster though, what a legend.

[@steelsberg]

It's a proper car programme, rather than a contrived entertainment show - good on them for not going that bullshit route 👍

[@farishanafiah8461]

That's why I still love Old Top Gear. Fifth Gear brings the spirit of Old Top Gear and still keep it.

You need to watch lovecars and listen to what tiff has to say about fith gears internal politics 🤨

Owned the previous JKU 3.6. Did the exhaust, intake, management, sound system, sound deadening, 2.5 inch lift, 305/55/20 , Coopers, steering stabilizers, metal bumpers, led lights, android head unit. Hard and soft top. Drove like crap. Looked amazing. Got all my money back because an enthusiast bought it off me

Finally, a real test with carbon ceramic! I get in to so many arguments with people that say that iron/steel rotors are just as good as carbon ceramic, and don’t seem to understand fade is important. They always bring up the Porsche Cup series that forces you to use conventional rotors, but again don’t seem to understand they do that to level the playing field as cash-strapped race teams can’t afford carbon ceramic brakes. Usually those arguing with me I think are trying to justify their choices as they can’t afford CC brakes, but I swear by them on track - I can go out for a 30 min session and have zero fade from start to finish, and I wouldn’t give that up as it lets you maintain consistency. Without it you’re wasting most of your session as you can only set a PB on your non-fade laps, so how much is that costing you every time you go out? Carbon ceramic FTW! Also, F1 wouldn’t use Carbon/Carbon if steel was just as good (ok, Carbon/carbon is another step above Carbon/Ceramic, but the logic follows - the difference is they have the budget for the best).

[@farishanafiah8461]

27:26 That is why the Ampera is my favourite pick. Range extender EV makes a lot of sense as you don't need to wait for long times to get the battery topped full. You have the petrol engine that only works as a generator.

[@mediocreman2]

I'm not a Jeep fan, but that anti Jeep bias from the old guy was a bit absurd for automotive journalism.

That ‘old guy’ is racing legend Jason Plato

Might want to put an episode air date on this. The current Model X Plaid is light years ahead of the model you are testing. Sales are true representation of popularity, not anecdotes.

[@GTO33]

Well, E tron has an even newer, more comprehensive mid-life update, launched last week. And yes, sales are true representation of popularity, but says nothing about how good a car is. That said, model X has not sold well in Europe in the last 4-5 years, and the model update has not helped much.

[@advandermeer740]

@@GTO33 I case you missed it, the Model X has not been sold in Europa at all in the last 2 years. The deliveries for the first new version was just in the past week. I guess you have missed it...

[@GTO33]

@@advandermeer740 Nothing in the pre orders that suggest popularity even close to E-tron.

[@advandermeer740]

@@GTO33 That is probably because the eTron is closer to the Model Y is size even if it is 15 cm/6 inches longer. Considering interior space the Model Y offers more utility. Not to mention better efficiency, fast charging capability and a functional, suffiently redundant charging network that will take you from the North Cape to Marrakesh and from the Scottish Highlands to Istanbul.

Greetings Fifth Gear, This channel needs to upgrade the quality of the videos, it is still in HD we would like to view it in 4K!!.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Nah it’s fine just enjoy the videos stop complaining

[@toyotaprius79]

There's a lot fewer second hand electrics available now. If only more new car buyers were encouraged to consider a plugin when the chance was there?

[@DavidKent0407]

I own a Tesla Model X Long Range and as most owners know it will not deliver full acceleration unless the suspension is set to extra low. This is done to protect the front half shafts. In extra low the half shafts are straight and full power is delivered. I can get 0-100km in 4.8 seconds which is much faster that the Audi. The same applies to the lap on the track.

[@sresto7943]

If you put a Jaguar badge on the audi and a VW badge on the Tesla i bet they would know how to drop the suspension, unfortunately your talking about 2 that love the Germans, I got board after the stats on range, yet we all know Audi isnt capable of their range stats let aloan abilities.

[@DavidKent0407]

@@sresto7943 Yes, I'm sure they would. It's not as if Tesla software is very difficult. It is simple to put the suspension in very low and put in sport for the track test. The drag race was a lot closer than it really should have been.

[@matthewwiemken7293]

@@sresto7943 Remember these guys are about entertainment first. Fun just to watch while the cars are just tools to that end:)

[@leviathantice2770]

this is what I was thinking. looks as if it on the highest setting. they are trying to give the audi every advantage possible

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Tesla equal ugly platypus looking not made well vehicle and an awful man who runs the company. I bought a bmw and charge it at home 🤷🏾‍♀️ actually luxury and fit and finish and no ass wipe dude running the company into the ground and messing with market prices at a whim on Twitter. Lol good luck with that

[@martymd21]

You all missed the mark regarding the Wrangler… sophistication is not a strong suit nor is it what buyers look for when they purchase it.

[@caseroberts9863]

Carbon brakes don't help with stopping distance. The tires, weight, and road surface determine that. The main differance is that Carbon Brakes have less fade, because they cool down much faster. They're useless on a drag strip. Yet essential for the track.

[@EsqMax]

To summarize: Tesla MX wins, except for being a track car.

[@EsqMax]

@Bowie lol I guess born one?

[@matthunt2128]

Tesla might have been the bar that was set for others to follow but dodgy build quality, non existent dealer network if you have problems and the premium price just doesn't add up.

[@richardchampion1034]

Why anybody in the right mind would buy an EV is beyond me unless they live in the Channel Islands and I’m not planning to bring it to the mainland. I drive all over the UK, yesterday I did almost 450 miles. The nice thing is that I did that in my diesel Mercedes and it was effortless. No worrying about range, no worrying about where I’m going to charge and no worrying about the amount of time wasted while it’s charging. EV’s are absolute rubbish, let alone the damage to the environment if people want to bang on about that. They should be banned. Let’s stick with tried and tested petrol and diesel engines which we know are reliable and can do a fantastic range taking five minutes to fill up!

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

*_Top Gear_* was always my go to TV programme for motoring. But not any more. The three muppets currently presenting that programme are utterly useless and as funny as having a cacti shoved up ones rear end when you have piles. *As such, Fifth Gear is now Numero Uno! And good on them for it.* Informative and enjoyable and even though Vicki's not as young as she was, I still would 8-))... _But then I'm old and not that fussy now!_ ;-))...

Obviously this video is old. The model X was a gimmicky car really. The model Y is the natural competitor to the Etron. Compared to the Etron, the Y is MUCH more practical, much less expensive, and is much faster.

[@Mr-bey]

Always Audi ❤️

[@louiswilliamhicks]

Those Jeeps are awful. I drove an older one years back, same platform. The crash tests were quite serious failures for the latest models, with rollover issues unique to this car due to the solid axles and chassis. They also corrode in places you wouldn't expect and Crysler electrics are very poor. As much as they get stick, I have never had a problem with my Freelander 2 or my current Discovery Sport and I do a bit of mild off-road driving in the mountains for camping trips.

[@thudtheace]

Oh yay! Jeep BS without any metrics to back it up. I would take a Jeep over a Land Rover anyday. Land Rover are terrible and are known to be extremely unreliable.

[@danam0228]

Can people, especially people like 5th Gear please learn the difference between CUVs and SUVs. The Tesla and Audis compared are CUVs, not SUVs.

[@MrChikung]

We dont use that term in the UK. Beacause we invented English.
