  • LOL if you believe the Tesla's range is 241 miles

  • Tesla Cars? Forget them....It always seems to be JAM TOMORROW with TESLA................I've been waiting for years to hear of someone's experience with the car...Oh sure there are hundreds of short Test Drives by "CELEBS" - ' 0 to 60 in 2 seconds and absolutely quiet', sort of reports abound. I want to hear that the car CAN DO 60MPH and keep it up for 200 miles.

  • The Tesla can do that range at that speed. It only drains quicker if you really push it a lot.

  • You know what would fix safety concerns the most? Better fucking drivers. I dunno about elsewhere but in Austin, drivers are fucking idiots.

  • That seems to be the case everywhere. Some people are just too arrogant or flat out stupid to understand why they should drive safely. Whenever someone gets aggressive with me, as much as I might want to get confrontational, I just back off and let them go on there marry way because I know they're going to get aggressive with another aggressive driver further up the road and then the hilarity will ensue. Battle of the egos! Karma is a bitch.

  • how come guys with caps turned front to back are always douchebags?

  • Simply by asking that question, you have earned my respect:)

  • or wanna-be douchebags

  • The Tesla Roadster at 125 MPH only gets 55 miles on a full charge. Hope people like to push cars. But it is light so maybe the two passengers can actually push it.

  • do you actually drive 125mph for 55 miles?

    Thats driving about 25 minutes twice as the speed limit...

    The Bugatti Veyron's gas only lasts like 12 minutes at top speed but who goes top speed for more than 20 seconds?

    Stop trying to make it seem like the Tesla is bad in any way... it's a fantastic car. If you have $100,000 to spend on a damn car, you most likely have a 2nd car anyways... No one would drive their Corvette ZR1 on a road trip, same goes for the Tesla

  • Who says it only gets 55 miles range - you mean the discredited Top Gear review? Try taking your review from a program that doesn't have a vested interest in electric cars failing

  • ummmmm....are people so ignorant that they didn't realize smaller cars were less safe?

  • It's the good old American SCARE TACTIC!

    People are focused on MPG so they want you to focus on SAFETY because it's cheaper to make a car with airbags than it is to develop a car that gets good MPG

    They always say shit like this to scare people...

    look at the swine flu... has any healthy person between the ages of 18 and 55 with access to good medical care died yet? no... even the regular flu does that lol.

    Hit an SUV and your dead.. drive one and your kids are dead...

  • Or buy a used diesel car, like VW Golf, they get great mileage , throw some bio-diesel and never worry about gas again.

  • man, its almost sad when the truth is public, yet idiotic footage and reports such as this come in and declare such meaningless contrived garbage!

    I feel like i am in communism man. I really do. Theres propaganda fuckin everywhere. People, do some research on communist propaganda and see how much our world is like communism.. its fucked. Its the end of reputable, verified and scientifically backed information.. its just fuckin marketing now.

  • very nice comment. ppl dont recognize that these days. were brainwashed...

  • Of course insurance companies will say that. More money on big oil guzzlers for them and their oilers pimp daddies

  • Tesla roadster FTW! Awesome little car. I drove one myself and I never felt so much power in a car ever and i've been in some beasts.

  • Look at Top Gear Tesla, Tesla says it will go 200 miles at any speed. But they pushed it and got only 60 miles before it stopped.

  • Look at some official test results.. says the Tesla has more than a 250 mile range.. it's a real shame people don't understand electric super/sports cars.. they are absolutely excellent fun to drive and are lighter than petrol engine sports cars. Whilst we see GM die, I hope we see the economically viable electric car break out of its cage and show you petrol suckers what real power is. I have an electric and will never sell it not for the world! Please wake up, PLEASE!!! Electric is phenomenal!

  • I would buy a diesel hybrid. You can re-use old veggie oil on your own, less carbon emissions and better mileage, some day use switch grass fuel even better.

  • Diesel hybrids are awesome. I wish they were out already. They get some ridiculously good milage haha. So veggie oil becomes more worth making into biodiesel.

  • sounds like an oil lobby smear campaign against fuel-efficient and alt-fuel cars.

  • Of course a medium sized car will "perform poorly" when you crash it against a PANZER tank. Doesn't surprise me, though, after all its an industry funded study. Carmakers get theit profit from big cars. Anyway. Nonsense

  • The IIHS is a private company funded by various car insurances. But heck, proofing that a small car is less safe is like prooving that hamburgers are less healthy than apples.

  • Look what happens when a high man meets a Derek D .

  • lol and the video of the mercedes S class vs the Smart Fourtwo is hilarious. it bounces like a basketball.

  • thats because there is too many big cars

    big cars burn tons of gas waste ur money and look like shit!

    And people have safety obsession

    if you want to be safe dont go out of your house

    also flying is much safer then driving

  • Sure!

  • HAZZAR!!!!! 6:10

  • wow this guy is pretty good real great job at hosting the show dude, you really seem comfortable in front of the camera not as funny as Double D but you could definitely host yhe show if he goes on vacation o by the ways HAZZAAA!! HAZZAA !! WTF LOL

  • Who the hell is Will Brb?

  • That Jeep looks like it might actually be functional off-road.

  • I didn't even know Toronto had a Porsche road show!!?!?

  • Mike S kinda reminds me of James May. Great show hope to see mike S more often he comes off a little more mature then Derick D

  • No D, 5*s.

  • LOL HUZZAAAHHH!!!

  • theres already at least 2 teslas ive seen owned by ppl in my town......cars r pretty sick

  • but small cars tend to handle better so there less chance of crashing. Small cars are safer, big vehicles just cause more damage.

  • Only if the small car actually handles and that's rare in the US. Fools that drive PU trucks/SUV's should require a commercial license.

  • you drive a small car at your own risk, everyone knows that motorcycles are very dangerous but you don't see bikers complaining

    HAZZAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • actually there are no more bike accidents then car accident just that accident are more deadly when u drive a bike

    plus people tend to drive crazy on bikes because of their mentality ...

  • that's right, how is it that a small car is more dangerous than a motorcycle? you don't see them complaining about motorcycles.

  • Mike's alright and all but, Jeebus, he only blinked his eyes like five times during the entire video! Scary...

  • and you're pretty scary for counting... i thought he did a great job. some good subtle jokes in there too.

  • I AM a detail oriented scary person.

    He did do a great job; no argument there.

  • i wanna get a look at that new gullwing.

  • Mike is cool~

  • Great Job Mike!!!

  • Mike likes for his hands to touch... a lot...

  • haha...Derek!!!

  • Take a look at Euroncap crash tests of the newest small size cars.

  • Dude do not dis Peachtree City. The golf carts go 15 mph and most roads are 35-45.

    Visit one day. Its fun to use the paths.

  • What? You crashed 6 cars to find out that bigger cars are stronger then smaller?

    Why?

    Everyone knows that.

    You crashed a Smart ForTwo into the C class to find out that the C class is safer?

    If you asked my grand-grand-grand...-mother from yeah 1234. she would give you the same result as your test.

  • awesome show

  • lol, YARIS = EPIC FAIL, even SMART performed better.

  • No. They all got poor rating. As a physician who sees trauma patients every day, let me explain this statement from the report: "the Smart went airborne and turned around 450 degrees. This contributed to excessive movement of the dummy during rebound " This means you are likely to get shear injury in the brain. It's a rotational injury and the occupant will never recover their previous intellectual function, this is in addition to the injuries from the initial impact and then from the landing.

  • pakistan zindabad.

  • The SLS is going to be sick :)

    When it comes out i will probally trade in my c63 for it

  • Great theme song mike! =D

  • This guy does a way better job than Derek D. Why? Because he doesn't try too hard. He's just casually cool.

  • nah he can get pretty boring.

  • HAZZAH!!!!

  • ha ...haaa!!

  • Where are the female hosts? :'(

  • At the same party where all the female petrolheads are. In a secret location, somewhere. Hopefully they'll surface soon...

  • did you see that jeep omg they better make it i will hate them for ever if they dont but my cherokee is still better hahhaahha

  • In the crash tests was that 40mph for each car, or total? It doesn't really matter that much, just curious.

    P.S.

    Nice one Derek, you have a fan, woohoo.

  • do you have arthritis in your hands get that checked out.

  • What a bargain indeed!

  • hazaaaah!

  • Go back to Toronto Derek D well to...Mississauga!!!Canada FTW!!!im going on this across canada trip from Vancover to bay of Fundy in like 2 weeks...i got to get FastLaneDaily in this cause every year some nice ass cars join us

  • COOL

  • we have a 360 challenge stradalle and just  bought a gtr

  • department of fairly obvious information. lol.

  • woot woot my home town

  • that mercedes is sexy as jizz....

  • No shit small cars arent as safe. Whip in 2 physics equations and that'll say everything. But that's ONLY if its head-on collisions.

  • Hey! I'm 4 hours away! 2 by Porsche! Lets burn one!

  • too little derek recently.....

  • i prefer this guy over that derek douche

  • i agree

  • i disagree

  • thirded. derek sux

  • third. derek sux big d

  • Momentum gives the heavier and larger cars the upper hand in head on collision. In other news, water is wet.

  • Good job Mike. You need to talk to AK and get off the bench more often.

  • Hey Spinnely try standing little bit more still

    it looks like your doing the hoolahoops

  • Ha. That was the first thing I said when I watched this too. Next time I'll wear cement boxers.

  • yo my boi just forget bouts da heavy boxers

    if ya wants b tight just grab some chicks and make dem dance abouts be horny for ya

    u be more brotha then Dicky D ever b

    aight pz gl, no mo hoola hoops fo u fo shizzle

    from yo man Jizztabiztch

  • "According to department of fairly obvious information" - LOL ;)

  • so they crash a small car into a big car and call it unsafe? did they try crashing a big car into a truck? what would be unsafe then... laws of reletivity.

  • Here's to hoping D can put his hands at 10 and 2! Bwah hah hah! LMAO

  • Haha! Love the comment on DD's hands. :D:D:D

  • who's that hairy guy???..bhuuuu :D

  • heahaehaehaehaeh roflrofl madmen going wild at the end

  • Department of Fairly Obvious Information. nice...

  • The Interior Of The SLS Is A Huge Letdown. Mercedes Could Have Done Much Better.

  • yea mike's good too, also what happened to alex?

  • Comment removed

  • dont drive 10 and 2 all pros say to drive at 9 and 3

  • toronto ... my hometown ... wooohoo ... where r u guys driving ... and wierd ending.... wtf is hzaa???

  • HAZZAARRR

  • I would love to see more hybrids and some electric cars. I can't get enough of them.

  • in regards to the new Jeep: can you say CANYONERO???

  • I wish my "job" sent me to other countrys to attend invite only car shows and drive exotic sports cars! I work for a car dealership, and my boss gets to go to those every year (the shows). I get to stay behind and do the work of two people. Lucky me!

  • Thank you guys from IIH for pointing out the frikkin' obvious. Now make yourselves useful by determining who is the bigger epic fail: IIH or GM.

  • Better then derek imo

  • not bad mike. you did pretty good. like the subtle jokes. and the not so subtle HUZZA rofl.

  • Wow, I think DD was a bit freaked out by the fan! lol

    Good show guys!

  • i saw a test on a smart4two that didn't show much damage, yet it was just a head on collision with a wall not another car... now i gotta rethink my getting a honda fit :(

  • There is allot more force involved when two cars collide head on 40, than when one car hits a wall at 40.

  • mike's good.. i like mike! should be on more often.. like every friday or something..

  • What? What does that have to do with the force involved when two cars collide head on at 40 mph?

  • dang, i misclicked and i replied to this post instead of posting a comment! links of "reply" and "post a text comment" r pretty close.. sorry!

  • all good.

  • actually its exactly the same.. except if they are different masses, then its worse for the smaller mass/car.

  • The force is the same as if one of the cars hits a wall at 80 since they are both moving toward each other at 40. Where as in the "wall" test, it's only the one car moving at 40mph. Roughly speaking of course, there's always variables (energy lost due to crumple zones and such).

  • no that's not true because between the 2 cars there is twice as much crumple zone (depending on the size of the cars of course) to absorb the impact whereas a brick wall has none. 2 cars the same hitting each other is like 2 cars hitting brick walls at the same speed. crumple zones act like a compressing spring absorbing energy. for example, u push 2 springs together they don't have twice as much recoil, they just both absorb their own bit each and don't double the force.

  • woow, your in my city, and you throw up a picture of my grand am at 1:11 !!.. i gotta comment, nice to have you in canada Derek D!.. and heres an inside joke for you guys.. i think that Mercedes Gullwing is as close as we're going to get to a car-plane, rather than a plane-car, cant complain tho

  • presenter fail

  • Also, Mike did a good job. Mixing up the host is a good idea now and then.

  • The SEMA show is not open to the public, so I'm afraid most of us will not be seeing the custom Jeeps there :(

  • are u serious? that is dumb

  • Check out when Top Gear tested the Tesla Roadster. Both cars they were given to test... broke down.

    Also, A little more honest Mazda love (for the third time) in the NY Auto Show. Less Bob Shubin.

    Also, that clip of the "Uber Fan," looks even more fake seeing it a second time. Seriously, there are fans but you don't have to "create" them.

  • Actually if you read news articles afterwards the first car never ran out of charge, they just pushed it into the garage and pretended it did for the entertainment effect (and supposedly b/c they were not allowed to drive cars into the hangar). The second car had a brake pump problem that was quickly fixed and the car was ready to be driven.

  • Hey Fast Lane Daily, could you raise 200,000 thousand dollars US for me? I am sure each member could donate at least one dollar..

    That way I can buy my new dream car the Mercedes SLS Gullwing.

    Thanks in advance.

    If not.. just give me comment of the year..

    HUZZAHH!

  • in your dreams

  • You can get an SLS for only $2000

    Cadillac Seville SLS

  • And by the way, Canada's fucking awesome!

  • Canada is the BEST PLACE TO DRIFT

    When it gets snowy in the winter, drifting is the default. [They do it a little better than us in the northeast US]

    I'd LOVE to see Vaughn Gittin Jr and any of the famopus Japanese drifters in Canada or New England in January

    fuck Tsukuba

  • Ebishu.

  • Agreed

  • stay behind the camera...

  • WTF?! Fucking idiotic institute piece of shits! Honestly, car companies actually have to pay to test their cars. Meaning only big companies like Ford, BMW and Honda get to test their cars. Research and Study this, "Commuter Cars - Tango T600" better grip than 911, faster than Z06, more steel than H1. do the math.

  • wow he really doesnt blink

  • very odd.

  • Here's the solution:

    EVERYONE DRIVE SMALL CARS!!!!

    then we'll all be safe.. ;)

  • Tesla = epic fail.

    once people plug these in and find out that they are paying between 37 and 44 cents per kilowatt hour to charge their car instead of the the 10 cents per kilowatt hour that Tesla uses in their cost calculations, this car is going to tank.

  • GM - P.U.M.A is the real Epic Fail, at least Tesla makes cars that are fast, and are well cars.

  • 1st, if you are paying 37-44 cents/kWh then you are probably a big user of electricity.

    2nd, even in the case of 37-44 cents a kWh, assuming 80% charging efficiency (this is on the pessimistic side) the 56kWh pack in the Tesla takes 70kWh to charge. A full charge would be $25.9-30.8 for 244 mi combined. An Elise is 23mpg combined, working out to the equivalent of $2.44-2.90 gasoline, not bad given how high gas prices went up last year. In the 10cents/kWh case that works out to 66 cents gasoline!

  • i love small cars...there such an adrenaline rush...i got 07 civic si coupe with 6 speed manual thing drives like a dream...

  • 2:16 LMAO "According to the department of fairly obvious information." Nice jab. lol

  • he looked realy nervouse

  • Please Mercedes, announce a SLS AMG Black Series! That would be the sickest car since the 90's.

  • The very second I wondered whether Mike had his own theme song, he answered the question himself. LOL

  • Did he say YAIRIS?

  • Nice. I like mike.

  • Hi, Mike Spinelli - you blinked only once in this video at 5:53, check it out.

  • good job mike!

  • The actually crashed the vehicles at 80mph, 40mph each way.

    Car companies and IIHS claim "less than 1% of all crashes fall within these [testing] parameters"

  • TORONTO!

  • Why didn't you guys use Alex or Carmen

  • or Grace

  • that jeep is sick

  • sooo... small cars suck? I've known that my whole life.

    much love to the big cars

  • Welcome to Toronto Derek D. It's a great city.

  • so does this mean that the cost of insurance on smaller cars will go up?

  • I think i like this guy as a presentor more than Derek D. Also, that Jeep looks badass.

  • this guy suckz

  • You want to see someons that 'suckz'? Check out the video of your mom with the UPS guy.

  • HAEZZAAAAA!!!!

  • Wheres that girl?

  • You should've asked them why there's no T-Tops on the Camaro

    It's not because of safety requirements because DerekD's Solstice coupe (MUCH SMALLER than the Camaro) has a targa top, with NO structure in the middle that the T-Top Camaro would have (about 4" wide)

  • why not have Matt Farah host a show?

  • oh yeah he'd be AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  • hey guys can you look into the kia forte coupe i would like a review of it . and cool sport cars that are inexpensive.

  • DEREK! That could have been me :(

    How much you guys pay that guy btw ;)

  • the mercedes at 1:03 looks like a GTR proto...

  • HUUZAAAAAH!!!!!!!

  • I LUV THIS SHOW!! U NEED TO REPLCE DEREK!! hahahhahah
