Many thanks for your comment on my post! I am still waiting to get my SR and still driving my LR, with the same plan as always. Your news that SR's are being made at Berlin - finally! - is interesting, are they being shipped around Europe? do you have any other information?

Thank you for your reponse to my thread elsewhere about the SR 430 vs 455km range conundrum, and as for your initial point - the rumour about the BYD battery being used in Berlin is to my mind mostly interesting because the rumour includes mention of the BYD battery being installed within a...

Thank you for explaining that to me, it makes perfect sense. Clearly I was looking for any excuse at all to believe the rumours! I will get the SR in March now, probably when the next batch arrive from Shanghai, and I'll try to do a useful comparison with the LR - at least the wheels on each car...

I didn't have any information, it was just wishful thinking based on online rumours. As it happens I was offered delivery of a Shanghai built SR right now but due to garaging issues at home I've decided to put it off until next quarter - Q1 2023. It looks like the car delivered next year will...

It is November 2022 - since delivery in June I have driven over 15,000km in my Shanghai built model Y LR, mainly on very long trips across Europe. I love the car, I've been driving Tesla's on and off since 2015, this is my first experience as an owner - the car has no faults as far as I can...

For any future victims of ParkingEye UPDATE on my £100 fine now cancelled 1. Tesla got involved - they contacted the hotel. Thomas Parsonage <[email protected]> 25 Oct 2018, 17:30 (13 days ago) I have received the following reply back from the hotel. They have put a request in to cancel...

UPDATE - £100 fine now cancelled 1. Tesla got involved - they contacted the hotel. Thomas Parsonage <[email protected]> 25 Oct 2018, 17:30 (13 days ago) I have received the following reply back from the hotel. They have put a request in to cancel the parking fine. If parking eye reject the...

OK I'll put it another way - ParkingEye send penalty notices to Tesla drivers, in the full knowledge that it is a Tesla vehicle that was charging (the penalty notice shows this) and despite the fact that they also cancel these penalty notices once a protest is lodged by Tesla. In other words...

I completely agree - but the "chat" approach hasn't produced a result. Meanwhile ParkingEye are deliberately targeting Tesla drivers who either don't see or don't understand the warning signs, and Tesla have simply put a mention of fines at the bottom of the info page on the map - you need to...

Yes in the daylight and when it isn't raining the sign is clear - I didn't notice it in the dark when it was raining, I've also heard from tourists who didn't understand what ANPR is or that "fine" meant £100, and I've heard from other Tesla drivers who did see it in the daylight and thought it...

Hi Pete, yes I agree that registering at reception can be regarded by most drivers as a very minor inconvenience - but nontheless it is actually catching a lot of inexperienced Tesla drivers out, and the penalty notices being issued show that ParkingEye know they are sending fines to Tesla...

I have tried to test reaction myself with a thread - which was probably too inflammatory ... I apologise. Call for civil disobedience - Northampton Supercharger However after a lot of balanced argument - and a split vote mrElbe gets my thanks for the best point on this subject I think that if...

OK - no more call for civil disobedience ... clearly many of the locals actually don't mind registering at reception to avoid the £100 fine and the vote is split 50/50 .. how about treating this as a destination charger? It's a win win - the locals get fewer dumb tourists (like me) using the...

There has been some very balanced discussion elsewhere on this site about Tesla drivers being caught out and fined £100 for using this supercharger - a charging location on the drive north from London, and one which is regularly recommended by the on-board software as a Public Access...

I agree - I humbly withdraw my pitch fork torch carrying protest call ... but replace it with the suggestion made by mrElbe - this charging station should be in grey on the map not in red - it is a destination charger - it is not a public access supercharger any more, now that ParkingEye have...
