Top Gear though? Ive been watching since 1981, I bet you didnt know it started even before that in 1977.
Ive had friends lend them cars, work on productions and drink with all 3, they are actually very down to earth blokes.
But as a UK resident I also know that Clarkson makes a living from being outspoken, he is often very wrong about cars he reviews and some of his political views fall deeply into the right wing populist folder.
Using Clarkson as a reference is like using Hulk Hogan as a reference, they say things to get attention and remain relevant, not to make a difference.
Anyway, back on topic - Clarkson's position has always been he hates EVs. Even if he drives a great one thats not going to change, as hating on them sells more newspapers, and thats what hes trying to achieve.

IIRC the early shows are referred to as “Old” Top Gear and they had a female host if I recall.
It might surprise you we do get some UK stuff here. Of course as I said Top Gear is the most watched TV show in the world, but the older episodes used to air on the precursor to what is now Motor Trend Network in America - Discovery Theater.
Our PBS channels also used to show the old Are You Being Served and of course Benny Hill…… my grandfather and I loved watching him together when I was a kid lol
And honestly, more than a few kids in America to this day can recite the entire Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Word for word.
You may notice I also use MP’s Spam song when someone posts spam on this forum.
