The UK system wasn’t designed for a world where the registered keeper wants to absorb unlimited convictions without meaningful consequence.
Enter Tesla, which obviously treats a £1,000 privacy fine while speeding dangerously as a privilege tax, or even a marketing event to promote their brand of lawlessness. If you lease the Swasticar through Tesla Financial Services and are recorded speeding, the company absorbs the fine and you do it again and again and again. That’s clearly worth something to drivers who would otherwise face points accumulation and potential disqualification.
Tesla has targeted (or created) a structural loophole where corporate liability substitutes for individual accountability. It blows right past a system that assumes registered keepers would identify drivers in order to avoid consequences.
To be fair, Tesla told the courts that they blame websites and “2nd class post” for their failure to respond. Yes, we are to believe that eighteen cases to multiple police forces all were lost in the mail. Is that a stunt to propose privatizing mail to be… opened and inspected by xAI for political interference and “intelligence” monetization? Maybe Elon Musk soon will propose replacing British Post with his racist robots. But I digress.
The £20,686 fine against Tesla averages roughly £1,150 per incident. One driver was clocked at 100mph on public roads. Another accumulated enough speeding offenses for license disqualification. Tesla enabled and then shielded these criminal drivers, without consequences, and pled guilty.
Expect it in the next marketing campaign. The Swasticar delivers.
