Fascinating video, not least because motoring journalism is mentioned in the first few minutes.
Tom's comments here seem to be largely rhetorical, but it does still surprise me how often I see comments suggesting aspects of the job influence our judgement on a car. https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1361345524675325958

And by aspects of the job I of course mean spending a week (or longer) with something, the flights/hotels/trips etc, rather than the products themselves.
The funny thing was seeing the number of people on here who to some extent breathed a sigh of relief that Covid put a stop to red-eye flights, time away from friends and family, and meant more testing on familiar local roads.
Ultimately it's a job, and a job that since the internet has been increasingly under time pressure in a way it didn't used to be. The priority for most journos now, I suspect, is efficiency. Can we do this job as effectively possible?
Of course, there will always be exceptions. The whole Tesla referral code thing being particularly dodgy.
