He also bought one, then was never able to drive it due to constant breakdowns. In that case, however, the breakdowns were legit, and he never caught any flak from Ford.
Great point. He also wrote about that very publicly.
The greater point is that Clarkson doesn't pull any punches, regardless of the make/model/drivetrain. He likes what he likes and speaks his mind about it.
They didn't catch flak from Ford, sure, but then Ford isn't building a company (and helping build a new industry of electric cars) around a single model.
