The latest Top Gear episode goes electric, literally, as the boys gathered their electric cars for some insane challenges while a baby Tesla is tested to see if it can beat the blasts from the pasts.

In this episode, it's about homemade electrics taking on series of electrifying challenges leading up to the 24 minutes of Mansfield. Chris Harris converted an old Triumph into an electric car, Freddie Flintoff brought in a Subaru BRAT pickup and turned it into an electric, of course, and Paddy McGuinness cheats by bringing a proper electric car, the Nissan LEAF, and then giving the electric car some boy racer look. With their electrics set, the trio set off to a road trip across the Midlands, a series of challenges, all leads up to the 24 minutes of Mansfield.

At the Top Gear Track, Chris Harris tries out the new Tesla Model 3 saloon and see if it lives up to its promise that it can be faster than "anything in its class." When handed to The Stig, the Model 3 did in 1:21.5.

Director Danny Boyle and Yesterday actor Himesh Patel are this week's Star in a Reasonably Fast Car. Danny got round the track in 1:44.7 while Himesh did it in 1:44.8.
