James May threw Mike Fernie the keys to his daily driver, a Tesla Model S, to be repaired at The Smallest Cog. Andrew Greenhouse and Mike get stuck in to remedy all of the EV's issues, before meeting up with James and reuniting him with the car.

    What car of James' would you like to see on the channel next? Thanks to Liqui Moly for sponsoring today's video! Check out their products here: bit.ly/DT-Liqui-Moly-EV
  • I have the sneaking suspicion that this is less of a car and more of an appliance for James.
  • Not sure why people think I don’t care about the Tez. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have it mended. It just suffered a series of unfortunate mishaps.

    I love how small Richard's lifesize cardboard cutout is 😂
  • @johnl9763
    I think the state of the car shows the difference in mentality. He doesn't care about the Tesla like he does his other cars.

    Andrew is such a natural on camera, this just scratched my workshop itch, thanks boys! Cuppa tea Ant?

    "I think it's just the build quality that's a bit terrible on 'em." This CRACKED me up.

    That old milk in James' Tesla is nothing compared to the horrors lurking in my wife's car. It's like a homeless hoarder lives inside there with a pair of dogs.

    Andrew is a great teacher, I learnt a lot watching this!
  • @thenick06
    It's so cool seeing so many different aspects on the channel. Engine builds, restorations, paint work. It's great to get an insight. Great work DT!

    There's something satisfying about seeing professional work being done.
  • "You've moved the seat!" I felt that one. I owned a Passat in the past that had, what could be, my favorite feature on any car to date. The drivers seat moved itself as far back as it could when you opened the door, and had the ability to be programmed to each key fob individually. This means that when my wife drove the car, the seat would automatically adjust to her preferred driving position while the same would happen with my key fob. The best part of this was picking your car up from service and not having to spend the next 3 days trying to find your perfect comfy position again. Absolutely loved it. This should be a standard feature on any vehicle with automatic drivers seats.

    "YOU CHANGED THE SEAT." I laughed at the change in voice from normal James May to TG/GT James May.

    We need more of these videos. Because it's great seeing how they do stuff at the smallest cog. I know we've seen the show. But learning is fun

    I was working on a car for someone a and found a cooked chicken under the passenger seat it had been there for 2 months, another one was a wrapped up in paper prawn shells and other bits left over from a holiday. The worst I had was a rover metro when someone had spilled a 4 pint container of milk in the foot well and left it it took me almost a week to clean the carpet and the thick foam underlay with a jet wash and a steam cleaner. what made it worse was drying it.

    There's definitely some role reversal between Hammond and May now, May just seems to have adopted the role of crashing into everything 🤣🤣🤣
  • @conner6052
    The banter between these lot is top gear worthy. Legends
  • @panteleon
    Love seeing captain slow in the videos!!
  • Really appreciate Mike’s forensic breakdown and analysis, it revealed a side of James May I hardly knew, and honestly explained a lot, a lot.
  • @ojharnett
    By the kettle !! 😂 yep definitely the best place to start !!
