Own up, who was this?

Looks like a MSM SR+ to me.

Ridiculous speeds. We don't need to put even more pressure on emergency services at the moment.

Do the aero wheels make it a M3? Can’t believe someone would even have the nerve to attempt such a speed on our motorways never mind in a 40 limit.

The tweet also mentions someone doing 76 in a 50. Is that not normal over there?

 

[Plagued]

unless things have change 25 over the limit is a court case and 30+ over is generally a ban. So those three listed are all above the usual just give them points/send them on an I've been naughty course. But ... 94 over ..... um ..I dunno what you get for that.

What do you mean, "normal"?

Is it normal to break the law everywhere over there?

If you are doing 75 on the motorway (multiple lane, 70mph) then you are overtaking most vehicles... not that I would do that

I'm surprised the police bimmer caught the Tesla (it's a Model 3)

They usually have a 330d so it wouldn't be too far behind in acceleration and will have a higher top speed

Having driven for 2 weeks around Florida just before Covid kicked off, it seems that it is very normal to set the max speed at 5 mph over the speed limit - of which there are many (45, 55, 60, 70 mph) and constantly changing on a drive in any district. Even 10 mph over seemed fairly common, but I gather you are then risking a ticket.

Explains why there is a setting for default mph over speed limit in the Tesla

I get that. He's talking about 52% over the speed limit which is somewhat different!

I like the comment from someone on one suggested punishment:

"An ban on owning anything bigger than a 1.1 engine in the future might be a good one in these cases and be good for car sales..."

um technically............

 

[Durzel]

Haha

 

[MrBadger]

I wonder if the police are wise to pulling TeslaFi logs yet?

... and anyway many ICE 1 litre cars these days are as fast as a 1980s hot hatch ... well able to blitz the speed limits.

OMG, Does teslafi log historical speeds?

 

[Roy W.]

Hopefully an instant ban. And confiscate the car. And prosecute to the full extent of the law.

They were probably trying to meet a toilet roll delivery at their local Tesco.

And Tesla of course, which is where TeslaFi gets the data.

Hmmmm....people should really slow down.
