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...

Bravo, I think you have hit the nail on the head. I have taken another look at the £100 fine notice I received, it states on the back that this is a HOTEL PATRON ONLY CAR PARK - I agree with you, it should be re-assigned as a destination charger and no longer be coloured in red on the Tesla...

LOL, not grumpy, more like amused at how relaxed some people are at being fleeced by private parking companies - I moved out of the UK to live in France a long time ago ... and over here the money grabbing antics that are normalised in the UK (and probably in the US too) are just unheard of ...

According to the staff on site there are lots of Tesla drivers who don't notice the signs, or don't understand them, either way there are lots of fines being issued, and as far as I can tell so far, the UK drivers who appeal get the fine cancelled, and the tourists get bullied ... or at least...

You are right. It is odd though that Tesla can tell if my car has free supercharging or not, and then charge my credit card, and the ParkingEye service can tell that I own a Tesla (it says so on my £100 fine notice) and that I was on site for 38 minutes..... and yet If I had rolled up in a big...

I agree with you. - My fine notice from ParkingEye for the Campanile Northampton shows the car reg plate, and the fact that it is a Tesla, and that I was there for 38 minutes. If I had been driving a Hummer and parked across three charging bays, but had registered at reception and stayed for 59...

If this is a fuss about nothing would you care to pay my £100 fine? Or the fines of any other foreign tourists who have made the same mistake? The fine comes with a clear photo of the reg plate, confirmation that the car is a Tesla, and that I spent 38 minutes on site. It isn't about stopping...

Elon Musk said that Superchargers would never be a profit centre, I can't imagine he wanted nasty outfits like ParkingEye to turn a profit from them instead. I've appealed against the fine of £100 on the basis that I wasn't parked at all - I was charging, and my appeal has been rejected. I have...

Good that you have appealed successfully - I learned today that my appeal has been rejected!! I have posted a survey in the UK and Ireland section .... please go and vote. - here is the text: Stop the rot !! The Campanile Northampton Supercharger has been contracted out to ParkingEye and they...

Stop the rot !! The Campanile Northampton Supercharger has been contracted out to ParkingEye and they are now extorting £100 from every Tesla driver who does not leave their car unattended while charging to go and register at a terminal in the hotel. This is not stopping ICE'ing - an ICE driver...

I support you - and if ever I'm back at the Northampton supercharger I will refuse to register at the stupid terminal they have installed in the Campanile reception - this crap has got to stop, otherwise every Tesla supercharger in the UK could be turned into a ParkingEye site

Lots of questions here ... Does a Tesla driver really have a choice of whether to use a particular supercharger or not? Is the driver of an ICE at a petrol pump "parking" his car while filling it up? Is an EV "parking" when it is charging? The Supercharger network is offered free of charge...

Hi there, thank you for your reply - glad to learn that you were able to appeal successfully, I also appealed to ParkingEye but they have rejected my appeal - so now I am appealing to POPLA. If you are able to pass on any info relating to your appeal that you think may help, I'd be very grateful.

I too have fallen foul of ParkingEye at the Campanile Northampton, I charged for 30 minutes at night, and did not leave my car. I did not see any signage. I do not agree that there should be any obligation to leave a car unattended while charging, or any obligation to walk across a car park at...
