Yeah, I for one think that Musk was being entirely unreasonable when he got upset with Top Gear (I mean come on, this is a show that gave a good review to a car because they were able to drive it upside-down in a tunnel...).

His issues with the Times seem far more reasonable.

"gave a good review to a car because they were able to drive it upside-down in a tunnel"

Musk aside, is there a youtube link for that?

Perhaps he is speaking of this:

I think they also mentioned when reviewing one of those crazy open-wheelers that it was supposed to be able to drive upside-down simply due to downforce, but I don't think they demo'd that.

Yup, that's it!

F1 teams also commonly claim their cars could drive upsidedown, but the logistics of actually trying that would be absurd. You'd probably need a robotic driver at least...
