I had a weekend away in Newcastle and had an unprecedented experience of seeing 10 Teslas in the wild in 10 minutes. We had finished lunching at Scratchley’s on the waterfront and saw (apart from our own):

- A Model 3 parked outside the restaurant
- 2 Model 3s plugged into the City Council chargers across the road
- Another Model 3 in the same car park, not plugged in
- A red Model 3 leaving same carpark
- As we left that same car park, a Model X parked on the road nearby
- A Model S passing us in the opposite direction
- A Model 3 stopped at the next traffic light, just ahead of us
- Another Model 3 passing us in the opposite direction
- A Model 3 plugged in at the destination charger at our Hotel
