Here's an explanation from the man himself, James May.

Lol. Thankfully, I don't have a Tesla, so it's not that retarded, but it's still pretty retarded. A simple buck converter should suffice if they want to maintain compatibility with infotainment/camera systems. Fucking ridiculous that you can't "start" your car when you have ~70 KWh of energy stored in your main battery.
