Tesla has racked up more than £20,000 in fines, costs and court fees after being convicted of failing to co-operate with UK police forces on at least 18 occasions.
The cases relate to allegations of speeding Tesla drivers, with the authorities contacting the carmaker’s UK division to try and get the details of who could have been behind the wheel.
In each case, police’s letters went unanswered, leading multiple forces to end up prosecuting Tesla for failing to engage.
A charge of failing to identify the driver of the vehicle when required was then brought by the police force.
Overall, Tesla has ordered to cough up a combined total of £20,686 in fines, costs and court fees.
