I love that Ed and Tyler always come with the heat. Freddy...stop being predictable lol bring some heat next season!!!

[@richardschwarzbauer201]

You three are so freaking hilarious and fun to watch. It definitely gives me topgear vibes and i love it. You all need to get an actual show for this stuff! Everyone here would watch the hell out of it

[@alechubbard2134]

Ed has expressed in the past on how happy he is to be on KZbin and not TV because they are allowed to do whatever they want and do and not have to deal with any production companies or broadcasters

[@jackdaniels8385]

Yeap, top gear by KZbinrs for KZbinrs...

[@patricklee7888]

This is great! My only complaint is you were trying to compare gas guzzlers to the tesla when you ran the tesla on full power and the gas guzzlers at 55mph

[@isaachendricks5247]

yesss. i thought i was the only one. don't get me wrong, i hate teslas. but that did seem unfair. i love the unplugged tesla model S Plaid tho. 🤩

It is a bunch of homers with no real respect for a better design or idea, clinging to their ice vehicles with everything they can muster. If you could build a car that can go 5 times as far with the same energy used and called it gasosheen, you all would jump on that bandwagon!! Call it electric and it is the worst thing that ever happened. You all don't make any real sense.

[@mpmd6.9]

@@rickwilson3696 it's a bunch of car guys who enjoy driving a real car that can reliably and quickly take them long distances. You do not care about what makes cars cars, have wildly arrogant and fact-suspending ideas about saving the world, and are perfectly fine buying a shockingly expensive car that cannot take you anywhere far reliably without you spending hours and hours waiting to refuel. If you aren't a car guy, why are you watching a video about cars made by car guys?

@@adamcope5325 oh I wasn't trying to be negative about the Star Trek intro. Just a heck of a coincidence is all.

[@randallmurrain1425]

I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that Ed found a Bentley with 177,000 MILES on the odometer!

[@gearheadlydia]

I love how the intro and the actual car choices reflect the red-yellow switcheroo between TOS and later Trek.

[@marktwain8192]

Wow. I didn't think this was coming until Christmas time. What an incredibly welcome surprise.

[@WBKmarty]

This really made my day! My friend passed away on a Harley exactly one year ago and I have been down but seeing this quality content fills me with joy

[@BeardAndCap]

Yes a new season! Love that the runtime of this episode is longer than previous seasons. Can't wait for the other episodes!

[@gjrip]

Awesome video, greatly enjoyed as always. But I’m confused about how the range of a Tesla at full speed is relevant to the range of a single gallon of gas in these cars driving as efficiently as possible. Surely the Tesla would go farther going slowly?

[@WhenHellBrokeLoose]

Slow is boring. Tesla can't do fast properly. Tesla is boring, V8's forever

[@gjrip]

@@WhenHellBrokeLoose I agree dude I love the V8s, I just don’t understand the logic of the comparison they’re making.

[@TheFloridaStig]

@@gjrip Logic?!? Have you never watched car trek before? Or anything with Tyler?

[@ouch1011]

@@WhenHellBrokeLoose have you ever driven a Tesla?

[@GETtv123]

Driving the car as fast as they drove the tesla would of been a better comparison but they wouldn't of got 18 laps soo they probably had to scratch that plan.

[@josiahbarthelmess2472]

Ed with the buttons haha! I feel that! Great selection of cars this time around, you guys keep it up!

[@hamza0610]

That was an unfair comparison though! Would've been fair if they ran their cars at the same speed as the tesla. Maybe could've filled the tanks to full and then seen how much gas they take in after the laps.

[@thomasschraubt7497]

Or use a fully charged Tesla

[@javic1979]

@@thomasschraubt7497 it looks cold so it may of been fully charged when it was dropped off a day or longer before filming so you need to take into account the wasted energy in heating the batteries then once the high speed run started the batteries and drive motor would of required heaps of cooling. also they should of filled the cars full done 15 laps then filled the cars up again to get a true reading. or let them run out put 1 gallon of fuel in then drive until they ran out. sucking them dry then putting 1 gallon don't account for how low the pump will work

[@GonzoHutt]

Whoosh....

They used 1 gallon… it was fair
