Tesla vs. Topgear

Tesla finally file a lawsuit against Topgear about their test on their cars!

Tesla's point is that Top Gear had an idea in mind (that electric vehicles are lame) and staged the show to prove it. On Tesla's blog site, Vice President of Communications, Ricardo Reyes, writes:
The show's script, written before the cars were tested, has host Jeremy Clarkson concluding the segment by saying, "in the real world, it doesn't seem to work." ...

Yet the show continues to air. ... The programme's lies are repeatedly and consistently re-broadcast to hundreds of millions of viewers on BBC channels and web sites, on other TV channels via syndication; the show is available on the Internet, and is for sale on DVD around the world.

A friend's neighbor has it and he said that it is about 20cents per km, also almost maintenance free, as it doesn't need oil change and stuff.

Battery is good for 200K Km...............true?

For charging overnight (slow charge) and usually you get the battery SOC (state of charge) well above 20% most of the time, I believe the battery is very long life.
