I'm thinking if driven hard, the car they tested wouldn't make it anywhere close to 100 miles before running out of power. That 200 mile claim by Tesla, aside from rounding up to the nearest 10th mile, was probably accomplished by avoiding hills, variances in acceleration, at some undisclosed ideal speed.

Maybe I need to see the episode, but why can't Top Gear give their opinion of the fuel economy with what they actually achieved. They are not the EPA, they are a television show, Tesla can still claim its fuel mileage. Pretty much every car on the show gets picked apart to some degree.
