This is the second major speeding violation recorded in less than a week in the Charente-Maritime department.
Tesla would surely do without this kind of negative publicity. Admittedly, the all-electric motorization, characteristic of the brand, is efficient, but a driver abused this Thursday, February 3, the power of his car. At 12:25 p.m., officers from the CRS zonal motorcycle unit in La Rochelle carried out a speed control operation on departmental road 25, in Vaux-sur-Mer. On a portion with two times two lanes, but where the speed remains limited to 90 km/h. The Tesla driver was traveling at 189 km/h, 99 km/h above the maximum authorized speed.
