So I was driving south down the A82. I drive this road very regularly for work, have done for the past 15 years. Saw a cop car behind me at Cairndow. He followed me all the way to Loch Lomond (Luss) about 20 miles. I drove at 60, well perhaps the occasional 62. I know that this road very often has speed traps. Also I was a bit low on charge and wanted to get to the SuperCharger at EuroCentral so was being very careful.
Anyway at Luss the cops pulled me over. Young officer said "you were doing nearly 80 mph at some points". I expressed surprise. "We have a calibrated speedometer" I was told.
I said "This is a Tesla with four cameras that are recording all the time and every bit of speed and driving information is logged. I am pretty sure I was not doing anything near 80mph and can prove it"
"OK - I will just give you a warning this time" said the officer and headed off!
So question: If I ask Tesla for the data for the journey will they give it to me? The Cameras after all don't show the speed although you can work out averages from things like distances between road junctions.
PS. Kept the video when was actually pulled over.
