The Slalom challenge in the Tesla Model Y | Fifth Gear

Jason and VBH go and check out a form of EV motorsport in the all-new Tesla Model Y. The compact SUV EV market is one of the most important, so Tesla will have to have made something special to cut it, a test on a Norweigan autocross circuit should give it a good run.

throwing a 2ton vehicle around a twisty track is no joke.

[@LoopsZ]

New york BMW drivers: Hold my blunt

[@jaygolds8086]

[@charlesmarsh9608]

Wow that was fun!!!

[@johnerikskjefstad1402]

[@endyenashish1747]

Annnd?

[@kimhansen2712]

I love corn 🌽

[@az958]

Good stuff 👍

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

They should have also brought along a MINI SE

[@Spooms1961]

Sorry, but you are showing signs of being terrible boomers. I got to drive my friends new Mercedes Benz C lass recently and it was a confusing mess of buttons and more buttons. All manufacturers have issuers with new drivers. That’s why you always take a bit of time to familiarise yourself with set up. The Tesla vehicles do ALL their controls through the screen. Very simple really. When I test drove a model Y, I found the set up to be highly intuitive. (And I’m sixty one years old!)

[@dr.karelis2198]

This tv show is what petroheads would dream of having, A BEAYTIFULL lady that also drives, a friend that manages supercars and an older relative that will advice you what to buy.

[@rickeybarnes6471]

The average person will never go around a track and its a family SUV! Boo 😖

[@maxflight777]

Love my Model Y By far the best car I’ve owned in 40 years of buying Merc/BMW offerings

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

I hate “courses” that use traffic cones to mark a line with a passion. Like you can really tell where the fk you are supposed to go. Just go fking straight to my perspective

[@ESHIELDS]

BRING BACK TIFF

[@mortenkrogh8599]

Try that with pilotsport 5 and trackmode. Bet you will manage below 1:20

[@ivankuljis1780]

Conclusion: Winter Tyres on 'ere are BLOODY AWFUL

[@john_hind]

I blame Clarkson and co: TV motoring presenters all have to act like 10 year olds these days!

[@1970HondaCL100]

In today’s attempt to slander Tesla, the presenters use a car equipped with snow tires on a dry track.

[@styx85]

They're being very forthright about the unsuitable tires, and there's no comparison with any other car. Just a bit of fun, lighten up.

[@netrioter]

Those tires are necessary year round in Norway, where this took place.....hmmmm

[@jamwil200]

The same logic applies to all SUVs, electric or not. Making cars bigger, heavier and taller makes them go round corners slower.

[@jayye9051]

This car is for geeks lol 🤓

[@Yoshimatsu414]

Nope, didn't make the EVs more exciting lol

[@MGR99]

Just made the tyres wear down faster.

[@nealm1814]

Deal with it

[@oldboygarage]

Yawn hey you can have fun in a electric car bring back tiff needell and lose all this waffle

[@brightmangroup1003]

Cringe

[@H4rleyBoy]

Teslas are so FUgly though, even compared to other EVs. Glad you didn't let an old lady beat you though JP 😉😉

[@lead111]

so boring
