Hardly. Lawsuits simply propagate more misinformation. The
number of people who would actually hear of the lawsuit is a tiny
percentage of the number of people who watch Top Gear.

Don't get me wrong, Tesla is doing a wonderful thing by building
a vehicle that capitalizes on the benefits of electric motors (flat
torque curve, etc.) and uses current (NPI) technology to get
around some weaknesses of other EVs. I just don't think the
company's viability was negatively impacted by TG. Yes, I
did watch that episode. I will have to go back and watch it
again to try to figure out what Larry is going on about. I was
delighted to see the Tesla getting some exposure on the show.
