I CHARGED my Porsche EV at TESLA SUPERCHARGERS and was SHOCKED to discover RIP OFF PARKING CHARGES!
Summary
TLDRThe video follows a man test driving electric vehicles, beginning with his own EV Porsche. He plans to try Tesla's Supercharger network now open to other EVs. However, he learns Tesla owners are being charged exorbitant parking fees to charge at a Renaissance Hotel. Outraged, he vows to visit the hotel himself and shame them if found to be profiting unethically this way. After testing two stations, he arrives at the hotel and confirms the unauthorized outrageous fees. He calls for a Tesla charger boycott of the hotel, arguing owners shouldn't pay to charge. Though not always an EV "evangelist," here he takes the owners' side against greedy "scum-sucking leeches" imposing fees.

Outlines
😃 Introduction and plan for the day
The video was originally going to be about testing the Tesla Supercharger network in London with an electric Porsche. However, the plan changed after learning that Tesla owners are being charged parking fees at some Supercharger locations, including a Renaissance Hotel. The goal now is to investigate these charges, which the host sees as outrageous.
😡 Question for Tesla owners about charging access
The host has some questions for Tesla owners: Do they want non-Tesla EVs using the Supercharger network? Do Tesla owners get free unlimited charging or pay normal rates? He also compares public EV charging to gas stations starting to charge for parking at the pumps.
😴 Boring drive down to the first Supercharger
The host drives 112 miles to the first Supercharger location in Luton. He complains about the drive, winter range loss, and the high cost of public charging. He also rants about parking enforcement companies as 'scum sucking leeches' trying to profit from drivers.
🤔 Asking viewers in Perth, Australia about EVs
The host is traveling to Perth, Australia soon. He asks viewers there about hiring or borrowing an EV to test and learn about the infrastructure. He wants to know about long distance EV travel across the remote areas of Australia.
☕ Stop for coffee and donut on the way
The host stops for coffee and donuts, mentioning his friend who strangely dislikes Lotus Biscoff donuts. He also finds parking enforcement in retail parking unfair, describing his luck with a leaf hiding his license plate to avoid a ticket.
😖 Feeling judged by Tesla owners at Supercharger
Arriving at the first Supercharger in Luton, the host feels judged by Tesla owners for using their network with a non-Tesla EV. He asks owners directly if they want to keep the network restricted to Teslas only.
🏢 Arriving at the first Supercharger location
The host arrives at the Luton Supercharger located near a McDonald's. He struggles to get the app working and plug in to start charging. The charging rate is slow and he doesn't know what to do while waiting, so he starts a jigsaw puzzle.
⚡ Charging experience and thoughts so far
With the car charging, the host shares his thoughts on the Supercharger design and networking app. However, the charging speed seems slow compared to other networks. He heads to McDonald's while it charges.
🍔 Quick snack at McDonald's
The host goes into McDonald's for a chicken sandwich, complaining about being upsold on meals. He checks the charger progress and plans to head to the next location at a Renaissance Hotel that is allegedly charging for parking.
🚗 Back on the road to the Renaissance Hotel
With 80% charge reached, the host gets back on the road. He rants more about public charging costs increasing over time. He also compares London's emission zone to Birmingham's, suspicious that London wants to profit from unaware EV drivers.
🤨 Arriving at the Renaissance Hotel
Arriving at the Renaissance Hotel, the host investigates their 15 minute free parking policy for EVs charging at their Supercharger. An employee confirms the hotel itself is charging Tesla owners, which the host finds outrageous.
😤 Calling for boycott of the Renaissance Hotel
Given the hotel is profiting from Tesla charging, the host calls them shameful and calls for Tesla to remove their chargers. He suggests Tesla owners boycott the hotel for penalizing EV charging.
✈️ Watching planes while finishing the charge
With charging nearly complete, the host looks at planes and compares the A380 to the Dreamliner. The charging rate is still slow but he has enough to return home. He reminds viewers to Like and Subscribe.
🤷♂️ Forgetting his final interesting thought
In his final thoughts, the host struggled to recall what interesting point he wanted to make to end the video.

Highlights
Parking charge companies are like scum sucking leeches in my opinion
Tesla supercharger network is better, but why is it better? Do Tesla owners get free charging?
Do Tesla owners want non-Teslas using their charging network? I wouldn't if I owned a Tesla
I feel like an outsider using the Tesla network as a non-Tesla owner
Charging an electric car out in the real world costs a fortune - it will only get more expensive
Parking charge companies are popping up everywhere, soon electric car owners will pay to park and charge
Shame on the Renaissance Hotel for charging Tesla owners to use the superchargers
Tesla should remove their chargers from this hotel that is profiteering from Tesla owners
Charging speed at Tesla chargers wasn't overly fast, was it slower because I don't own a Tesla?
Not many Tesla chargers in the north of England, mainly down south
Tesla chargers look nicer than other chargers, cables aren't as long
Having to pre-register your EV to avoid fines in London's emission zone is crazy
Target the criminals in London, leave the motorists alone
I used to love London, now it's ruined - unsafe and not fun anymore
Shame on Renaissance Hotel, boycott them Tesla owners for charging you to charge
Transcripts
quite interesting one today because
today's video was going to be about me
taking my all electric Porsche taan EV
electric car down and around London Lon
and London to go and test out the Tesla
supercharge Network because some of the
Tesla supercharges now are open to other
cars other EVS quite a few actually I
downloaded the app was quite surprised
however then it took a bit of a Twist
took a bit of a turn because I did a bit
of a research and I'm looking online I'm
thinking I'm a minute Renaissance Hotel
and then Tesla people are up in arms
they're saying they're being charged
parking Chargers to park their car and
charge them at Tesla
superchargers I'm thinking that cannot
be right surely you're a Tesla user and
you've got Tesla supercharges and you
shouldn't be charged parking fine so
obviously they've jumped on board I'm
guessing that this is the the fault of
the hotels and the managers up there
trying to make profit I'm guessing
anyway some scum sucking leech who wants
to make more profit for their business
Etc and they're putting it on Tesla
owners now I am not an evangelist lover
as you know I don't think electric cars
are the future but in this video my
friends I am actually on your side
because there what I do not like even
more than evangelists a parking charge
companies they are scum sucking leeches
in my opinion I don't know what you
think let me know in the comment section
down below so we're going to head down
there we're going to go to Luton to the
supercharges there I think they're okay
there's no charges there but the one at
the Renaissance Hotel you have to pay to
charge your Tesla or any other electric
car that's there I think the first 15
minutes are free I've read this online
so we're going to find out we're going
to see whether there's any truth in this
and if there is then shame on you who
put this parking charge in force for
these Tesla owners now do me a favor
even the Tesla owners and the
evangelists out there because I'm on
your side with this one okay this is not
slating electric cars at all there might
be a little bit in there but do me a
favor and hit the Subscribe button like
it share it or right across social media
let's get this video going viral and
help out the Tesla owners because where
does it stop it starts with the
Renaissance it goes to another uh place
it goes to another supercharger then it
starts on instav vault and other
chargers and then electric car owners
eventually are going to end up paying
not only to charge their car but also to
park their car to charge it you see
where this is going don't you anyway so
hit that subscribe button share it on
social media do all the stuff give it a
thumbs up now without further Ado my
friends let's
[Music]
go
[Music]
he
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
right okay don't forget hit that
subscribe button I mean come on it
deserves a subscribe doesn't it with all
them clips that I've just done on the
intro how many different camera angles
for that took me about half an hour to
get all them set up anyway right let's
get down to business first one that
we're going to go to is luten uh Tesla
supercharge Network it is 112 miles from
here um I have got 236 M of range
however I haven't I'm going to put the
air conditioning back back on uh and the
heating back on I've actually got 219 M
of range because I've just put the
heating on in the car because it's cold
uh I've got 99% of range my steering
wheel starting to warm up which is nice
and my bottom feels like I've just wet
myself cuz it's heated seats um so we're
going to get there and try that one out
first look at the costing of it as well
and see how much it actually costs I
have looked on the app on the Tesla app
and you can pay a membership a monthly
membership um for the Tesla app or
whatever uh and um then you can get
cheaper charging so if you've got Tesla
charges around you and you've got a non-
Tesla car then pay the membership and
then you get cheaper uh cheaper electric
and cheaper to charge your car um but it
depends because it seems to be that most
of the charges the Tesla charges that
are open to um non- Tesla cars seem to
be around London Etc and down South cuz
we don't exist up north do we well North
Midland well we're Midlands aren't we
but anyway uh so there we go there's a
if you download the app on your Apple or
Android or whatever um then you can see
and it shows you exactly where all the
charges are so it's going to be uh it's
going to be interesting because Tesla
always spout or the Tesla owners Tesla
evangelists always spout that their
charging network is better I'm going to
say though I am going to feel is this
I'm gonna ask Tesla owners now all right
so Tesla owners this is a question
directed at you I've charged a Tesla
charging Point once before in Wales um
or twice before I think in Wales and
I've pulled up in my Tian and I feel
like your eyes are sort of like burning
through me as if I shouldn't be using
your network I feel like an outsider
that's not welcome is that the case do
you Tesla owners not want non Teslas to
charge on your network because
personally if I owned a Tesla I wouldn't
want Outsiders on the network I'd be
like why are you I wouldn't want Elon
mosque and Tesla to open up your network
to other cars because the big thing
about Tesla is the network if you start
opening it up to other cars and other
EVS then you kind of lose something I
don't know it's just my opinion let me
know what you think in the comments
section going to hit the road I need a
coffee I need maybe a little Crispy
Cream I've got a Crispy Cream Obsession
at the moment also a little Dunkin Donut
Dunkin Donuts or Crispy Cream let me
know that as well in the comments
section right let's get to the M1 South
and get to Luton and I believe there's a
football match on today as well so um
because it is a Saturday when I'm
filming this right come on
onwards
[Music]
you know these parking charge companies
right these scum sucking leeches as we
like to call them that's what we're
going to name them now scum suck looking
leeches because that's what they
basically are I went to um a fish and
chip shop in Nottingham the other week
in West bridgford a good one by the way
there it was I did a video on it and it
was Cod scollops and it was in a retail
Park and uh I got in there and I did all
my b-roll and all my filming Etc and I
got in and there was like and I saw a
sign I said there's 2 hours parking it
says there um is that right I says can
you pop in your computer or whatever or
your iPad so that you can put in I'm
eating here and I don't get a parking
charge and they was like oh no we can't
they don't allow that um on this retail
part the company that does it I was like
all right what do I do then I said I'm
going to Wolf my fishing chips down they
said Well if you get a fine um give us a
ring and we'll get in touch with them
and try and get that taken off for you
and um I was like that's absolutely
insane uh so I said this is crazy
luckily right I kind of knew that there
was parking charges on there on that car
park and lo and behold I can't believe
what happened because I was in longer
than two hours and I thought oh no I'm
going to get charged for this and get a
fine but believe it or not there was a
leaf stuck to my number plate so it
couldn't actually get my regge plate my
number plate couldn't take a picture of
it because it's obviously it was Autumn
when I was doing it
and there was this leaf on my number
plate stuck to my number plate kind of
glued to my number plate odd really so
uh yeah that was that was great worked
out really well thanks to Autumn or fall
if you're in America but it does it's
absolutely crazy and where does it
actually end all this because there's a
lot of electric charge points where
time's limited and you get charged it's
like in petrol stations and service
stations Etc service stations you go in
and you only get 2 hours before the
charge you Etc now I've bear with me
this is a long uh long chat but when I
did uh a trip from Johnny gr to L's
end I figured out that it takes longer
than 2 hours sometimes to charge your
car because it was summer when I did the
one on my own and there was you'll see
it if you go back for the videos there
was Cars piled up ready to charge so you
had to wait for them to get off and by
the time that all you got your turn to
charge your car up then you'd already
spent an hour and a half so that left
you half an hour to charge so you had to
go over and yet again the parking charge
people get their money because they're
fining for you finding you so you're
getting penalized to charge your car and
it makes my blood boil and I'm going to
I'm going to shame these people today
I'm going to shame the hotel if it's
their their fault because the hotel
should say no we're not doing it to the
parking charge companies and I'm going
ashame the parking charge companies as
well shame on you shame on
you for doing this to Tesla owners and
and EV owners shame on you anyway there
we go come on onwards great about that
leaf though wasn't it can you believe
that that was lucky that was wasn't it
right go on
onwards
[Music]
right on the M1 South you know what I
should have shares in the M1 I spend
that much time on it you do realize by
the way EV owners and evangelists Etc
who spout on about how electric cars are
cheaper Etc it is they are if you charge
at home we know that especially if
you're on octopus energy Etc but if you
go out in the open in the real world
they cost you more it costs a fortune 75
p a kilowatt 85 p a kilowatt it differs
on different ones and that's now right
at the start of it right you think we're
at the we're at the beginning really of
the electric car e ER which is what they
the evangelists say it's the future it
isn't just give it a few give it a few
more years you you'll figure it out this
video will date very well believe me um
the kilowatt is is going up per hour so
these companies are starting out at that
you're eventually going to pay over a
over a i 75p a kilowatt so you're can
end up paying over a quid maybe over two
quid a kilowatt it's just going to get
more and more expensive to charge a car
out in the real world so and then you're
going to get parking charge companies
scums looking leeches charge it getting
there bit as well so can you imagine
going into a petrol station now right
you've got unleaded or diesel and you go
in there and you fill in up and then you
go oh hang in a minute who what um
parking charge what what do you mean
parking charge well you you're parking
you're filling on the for court we're
charging you to park on the for court to
fill your car up that's how ludic
it actually is and it's only going to
get worse it's um it's crazy anyway
let's go I need a coffee come on maybe I
should maybe I shouldn't have a coffee
until I charge cuz you end up having a
coffee when you charge don't you that's
another cost another expense come on
anyway let's get let's get a move on 101
miles to go 1 hours and 44 minutes 93%
of battery and 198 miles of range it's
funny because
I know I'm wittering on but bear with me
electric car owners they've got to be
like me you must begin to get terrified
and shudder when you think of the winter
because you're losing range I lose about
40 to 50 miles of range in the winter
it's absolute
Madness right coffee
[Music]
time
[Music]
right so if you watched my video
yesterday you will know that I am off to
Pur Australia in the next few days I'm
going Direct on quantis and I'm going to
film the entire Journey along the way
and also loads of videos while I'm over
over there that's the reason why I'm
going so make sure you don't miss out on
them however today it's all about
electric cars and car videos but I
wanted to say any viewers that I have in
purse let me know where I can actually
get an electric car from and hire an
electric car or maybe you've got an
electric car if you have an electric car
if you got a Tesla or any other electric
car and you live in Perth contact me on
my email and let me know because I'm
thinking maybe I might hire an electric
car while I'm in Pur and just see what
it's like and see what the
infrastructure there is like or maybe
you've got an electric car and you live
in Perth contact it contact me let me
know and then if you don't mind being on
the video I can meet up with you and you
can let me know what you think of the
infrastructure uh over in Australia and
how it would work because if you've got
to get from Perth to Sydney and you
don't want to fly and you want to drive
what's the actual infrastructure in the
middle of Australia cuz from what I've
heard it's a lot of red sand and dust so
uh how are you going to do that I guess
you could do it in a diesel car probably
in one go with a big tank let me know
anyway in the comments section might be
kind of interesting to um get in on the
EV scene over in
[Music]
Australia
[Music]
right I'm just going to pull in here a
minute watsford Gap very famous service
is this by the way um it's going to be a
charging Hub apparently now then don't

let me just park up I'm going to park
right out of the way right so nobody can
park next to me and I guarantee you when
I get back probably be wrong now but

got a Tesla should have got a Tesla
Tesla's better we know the Tesla
supercharge network is better but why is
it better and also I need you to answer
me this I've often wondered as a Tesla
owner if you buy a brand new Tesla car
do you get free charging in with that so
you just get as many charges as you want
or are there some kind of regulations
that you have to adher to or do you just
pay the same as us or do you get
discounted charging just let me know in
the comment section cuz I'm confused do
you get free charging don't know I I
need to get my coat on it's a bit nippy
anyway answer me that in the comments
section down below I'm going to get a

Network
supercharge um I've got to say by the
way I'm using the GoPro here and they
are terrible the amount of issues that I
have with go GoPros what that was with
GoPros is unbelievable just keep
freezing switching off honestly if you
work for GoPro or you work with GoPros
I'm right H they are they are absolutely
abysmal I've got to replace the GoPro or
something else with a better camera
terrible right come on let's get on the
road
onwards how do you get out of here I
don't know where am I going here I've
got a hyundi chronic but ionic behind me
um I'm going through a petrol station to
get out there
oh Bliss look at them just filling up
showing off filling up and then getting
back on the road
showoffs Whoever thought of that would
be a good idea put fuel in your car and
get back on the road again anyway come
on
onwards one of us
us one
of one of us no no I'm not one of you
I'm just trying your network out I'm not
one of you I'm not an
evangelist s shivers down my spine ass
need to pull in a little
bit my stomach
[Music]
turn one of
us
one one of us no no I'm not one of you
I've told you I'm not one of you I'm
just testing your network wow that's
bright anyway while I've got you he's
moved into that lane now um while I've
got you I always feel on edge when I'm
uh when I'm driving past Tesla or other
evangelists now because I think they
probably seen my video and the their
eyes are burning through me but anyway
let me just tell you this by the way
these parking charge companies
absolutely outrageous you got to agree
with me whether you're an evangelist or
not that these companies literally are
as I've said scum sucking leeches
because they're popping up everywhere
they're popping up in Starbucks they're
popping up in McDonald's they're popping
up in Costa coffees in tesos in ASDA and
you've literally got a time limit waited
on it now I can understand if they're in
busy areas where people are trying to
take advantage and trying not to park
Etc but it's absolutely outrageous and
if you're charging your car as well you
should be allowed to stay as long as you
want or at least until you've finish
charging this should be some sort of
rule in there for it but they're popping
up everywhere and it just reiterates my
argument I've said to
myself many times and I've said to you
that everything is about control and the
motorist seem to be getting penalized
all the time whether it be parking
charges or speed cameras but it is all
about control in my opinion and I've
said that and again with electric cars
you're going to plug your electric car
in at home and you'll be penalized
eventually because they'll put whacking
great taxes on it and change it so that
you're not going to be able to just use
your normal house electric forever I
don't think anyway so you'll be
penalized and eventually you'll be a
you're told how far you can travel if
you travel without uh without 50 without
your 15 minute City or whatever then
you'll be fined you'll be penalized and
it is coming and a lot of people can't
see it and I don't understand why you
can't see it for yourself that's what's
coming and that's what the electric car
is about in my opinion it's all about
control so there we go but
um this video I mean I was Gob smacked
when I actually read online that Tesla
users are being charged for parking
while they charge their car and if it is
down to to the hotel right then shame on
you shame on you hang your head in shame
that you have got into bed with these
scum sucking leechers who just want your
money and want to penalize the motorist
and make big profits for themselves and
there we go and I'm pretty sure whether
you're an evangelist an EV lover or
whatever you will agree with me you
should be allowed to charge your your
car and not get penalized for parking
there it's ridiculous anyway we're in
traffic now for 20 odd minutes uh and um
we're down to 58% 136 miles of range um
and we've got 17 miles left to go so I
won't say onwards cuz we can't go
onwards cuz we're in a traffic jam so
come
[Music]
on
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
right almost there now another what have
we got 1.3 miles got 7 minutes to get
there I've got 50% of battery left 109
miles of range um I would say I'm
looking forward to this um because I'm
interested in these uh Tesla charging
networks but I am very very dubious
about it and a little on edge to have
all the Tesla owners just staring at me
first of all because some of them might
have seen my videos and will hate me and
second of all they'll hate me because
I'm using their Network I mean I've been
to Porsche before to the Porsche garage
and I've seen people turn up in Audi or
I I think I saw a an ionic once as well
and inside me I'm going why are you
charging get off get out of the porch
you don't belong on these Chargers and
now I'm doing what they're doing on the
Tesla Network so you know do you think
I've asked this earlier on but just in
case you miss it in case you missed it
Tesla owners do you think they should
open the entire Tesla Network to non
Tesla driver to non- Tesla cars let me
know I bet you say no I bet none of you
say yes right turn left here I think
yeah turn
[Music]
[Music]
left
[Music]
right well I've put the post code in and
it's I me that's just narrow it's saying
that it's round here on a retail Park so
and there are parking penalty charges
here as well by the looks of it turn
right and then turn right again since
they're around here I've popped the post
code in from it
where are they got to be around here
somewhere right okay found it milk float
off there are other other brands
charging up here but I've got a Tesla
user right next to me on my my left ear
and little lad is he's scowling at me
all
right okay it's probably looking on
looking on in jealousy look dad why
don't you get why don't you get a real
electric car why don't you get a Porsche
instead of one of these toy cars Anyway
come on milk float off let's get out of
here come on man this is exciting isn't
it Tesla supercharge Network right next
to McDonald's so you can go and have
something to eat while you're waiting
come
on right so I open up the Tesla app on
my phone here which should be on here
Tesla there we go and apparently I just
choose the number on it down here which
is 2b
or not to be that is the question uh
right where are we we are here tells you
that there's nine available and it is
59p uh per kilowatt which is not bad
there's also a fee as well which I think
is a good idea if you leave it plugged
in they find you for leaving it plugged
in which is good because then it uh
stops people leaving it and going off
shopping Etc um you all can also if you
have membership uh if you want this and
uh where are we how much is it
non-member 54p non-member if you're a
member 40p per kilowatt so that's pretty
good uh okay so charge here and then
connection failed well hang on a minute
right here we go okay nine charge here
luten N9 of 16 available 250
kilowatt uh and we want
2B so 2
B update billing profile oh I need to do
that one second all right update my
billing
profile okay 2B start charging I guess
I've got to plug it in first what does
it say plug in to start
okay here we go plugging
in get in there that's it what's it's
saying on the
app there we go plug in to start after
plugging in it may take up to two
minutes to start charging does it say
anything on the
actual does can't see any screens let me
have a
look nothing on the screen just says
plug in to start which is what I've done
oh here we go it's
[Applause]
working there we go
.53 kilowatt
.1 come on get up there then
not3 not the fastest charging I have to
say at the
moment don't know why strange isn't
it says it'll be done at 3:26 p.m. and
it's now halfast
1 not fast what do you do while you
waiting there's a McDonald's over there
don't know what else to do ah got an
idea this is it this is what EV
evangelists do isn't it EV owners
evangelists do this got an idea wait a
minute wait
there right so Jeff brce car's got me
this because if you're going to be a
proper evangelist you've got to pack
your own sandwiches cut your crusts off
cut them into little triangles like I
said and then get yourself a 1,000 piece
jigsaw and see whether you can actually
complete the
jigsaw before your car is charged now a
thousand pieces can I actually get that
done in time here we go can do it on the
roof as well find these pieces so we got
a little car there lovely nice little
car there look proper with an engine in
it proper little mini as well not an
electric one there you go look at that
is that a little Triumph is that a
Triumph nice car that can't see any uh
can't see any charge points on there
though that's the only thing right which
piece goes in
here
no do you know what I think the jigsa
for me is the one that my little lad's
got I think it's a 10piece jigsa with
them big blocks in it that's probably
more more my style that go there have a
look
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
right
[Music]
right so I'm getting um 46 Kow uh
charging rate £3.78 at the moment
7156 Kow perh energy delivered um that's
what I actually was looking at earlier
on so I got that wrong I thought that
was a char rate not used to this app but
46 Kow
um overly is that flash not great though
is it um I might need a big jigsaw um
but
anyway let's go and get a McDonald's do
you know what I'll have a burger instead
it's going to take me ages to do this
jigsaw and uh there's a bit missing Jeff
it says at the top piece missing there
lock so I got that would have been
annoying wouldn't it getting right to
the end and then finding out you got a
piece missing that's almost as annoying
as charging an electric car right let's
get into McDonald's and get in there put
these pieces back I was getting into
that I was getting excited I found the
piece for the number plate and a bit
where it says t- rooms on it I reckon I
can get into this jigsaw bit as a
evangelist it's quite exciting isn't it
right let's get to McDonald's burger see
you in a
minute
[Music]
right so got myself a milk chicken
sandwich um they kind of trap you don't
they cuz they go do you want a meal I'm
like I don't want a meal I don't want
any fries haven't got time and I don't
want to drink CU I don't want any soda
I've got bottle of water in the um in
the car that I actually got from
McDonald's that I didn't drink so I just
want the burger uh anyway let's have a
look at um let's have a look at where we
are charge wise okay so charging I'm at
66% uh 48 Kow charge rate 8 10 so far so
um I think what I'll
do you eat this on chicken sandwich and
then we'll just takeit the road because
we're going to have enough charge to get
to the next one which is the one that I
want to see because of the actual
parking terms actually I'll eat this and
then we'll go over there cuz there's a
penalty over there as
well I think you only got 2 hours or
something we'll have look in a minute my
chicken sandwich I always have MC
chicken sandwich I never have Big Mac or
fries or anything it's always MC chicken
sandwich for me though it was
better when they didn't put it on a
round bun they used to have the actual
buns that was the shape of the chicken
itself uh of the fillet itself but then
they change it to a round bun anyway
that's boring isn't it just going to see
that in a minute see you in a
[Music]
minute right come on let's have a look
at parking
charges right I think there are
regulations there's always rules and
regulations where uh motorists are
concerned here we go maximum stay 3
hours
I guess that's all right there for 3
hours but still there should be some
kind of caveat that if it's busy then
you should be able to charge what you
want anyway have a look at this but the
one down that's the worst is the one
we're going to go to next which is the
Renaissance hotel I think it's 15
minutes and the Tesla owners are up in
arms so I'm on your side here Tesla
owners CU it's absolutely wrong look at
this here we
go right well I reckon I'm going to
unplug now uh and get to Heath throw to
the next one cuz that's the one that I
want to see and uh check out whether
you do only get 15 minutes
wow right let's get this unplugged
because we don't want to uh be paying
the idling fees which is a good idea
Tesla that is a good idea I I take my
heart off you there I have to say
because there's so many cars that these
retail parks where you come back to they
charging they just leave them and they
take the Mickey a little bit let's pop
this
back right let's get to the next one
next and final one uh which is uh down
at Heath row to the Renaissance Hotel as
I say I'm going to put wow all these
planes look
right next to looten airport always
reminds me of uh Lorraine Chase was it N
Loot airport anyway enough waffling on
let's get down there let's get to the
Renaissance come
on so next destination let's get to
there which is the
Renaissance hotel near Heath row and
that is going to take us 43
minutes um 3 4 miles and we're going to
get there what we got now 177 M of range
73% of battery got my little Galaxy
there by the way if you wanted to know
what the total charges was Etc um let's
have a look let's get my phone out here
here we go let's have a look there you
go so there's all the charges Etc um of
what it's cost me
right pop that back okay got my little
uh chocolate as well so I'm going to
have my Galaxy thank you very much Costa
we like free right okay put that in
there cuz I've just had my car washed
right okay let's get on the way and
let's get there come on hopefully it'll
charge
[Music]
quicker
[Music]
[Music]
right so to sum the Tesla Chargers up I
do like the look of them I think they
look better they look more
aesthetically a aesthetically pleasing
difficult to say with a list but I
managed it just about um they look nicer
um the design of them is nicer the
cables aren't quite so long which is a
plus but also could be a minus I guess
depending on where your charge point is
although saying that the way that
they're laid out it doesn't particularly
need uh a long cable so that was better
um speed of the charge not overly fast
was it um is that because I wasn't a
Tesla is it would it would it be any
different if I was a Tesla does it
throttle my charge because I'm not a
Tesla let me know in the comments
section down below um plenty of charges
as well what I will say is though tweet
this video to Tesla if you are a Tesla
owner because I think if this place and
I'm going to I've checked online that
they said that they are now charging you
to park there right it's bad lighting
Sorry probably see the camera as well um
if they are
charging and fining you for going over
15 minutes unless you pay right that's
bad Tesla this is a message to you pull
your charges out of there don't pay that
hotel um for having your charge points
there get rid of them shame on that
hotel if that's what's happening shame
on the scum sucking leeches who are the
uh par car parking um charge people
right get rid of them pull your charges
out and put them somewhere else because
that is
unacceptable and I'm saying this because
I've seen it online maybe it's changed
now but that was a few weeks ago um I
can't imagine it have changed I still
reckon you're going to get charged after
15 minutes let's find out some people
actually if you look at the um online if
you if you search for it and Google it
right in the comments of it at first
they weren't even telling you they had
to stick some signs on the actual uh
charges themselves to let let you know
not to go over the allocated time now
that is
[Music]
underhanded ultra low emission Zone
after the
services doesn't apply to me uh or the
mayor of London uh
controversial um there we go so uh got
another 23 miles to go I I reckon I'm
going to start my own getting the right
lane here Heath Road Dartford one second
um I'm going to start my own parking
charge company I'm going to call it
parasite parking UK limited what about
that that's a great name isn't it
parasite parking UK limited cuz that's
basically what they are isn't it right
let's get there and uh see whether
there's any uh
fact and reality and whether a truth is
the word I'm looking for that they are
charging so you where am I going here 25
there we go anyway let's get there come
on
[Music]
onwards
you know what I find really interesting
is if you go into birmingham's ultra low
emission Zone in this car which is an EV
electric vehicle electric car whatever
you want to call it their ultral low
emission Zone cameras automatically
recognize my number plate and know that
it is an EV so you don't pay the penalty
however if you go into to London in this
car and you don't pre-register online
that your car is an EV and put your
license plate in your R plate in right
then you will receive a fine as if you
are a normal car you have to go online
and basically register that you have an
electric car and you want to be taken
off the list or whatever it's called
exempt from the ultra emission out uh
and the congestion charge as well which
is
absolutely nuts it's crazy isn't it you
should be able to go in and their
cameras because they're so Advanced
should know oh that's a Tian uh doesn't
you know he doesn't have to pay the pay
the ulas fee or the congestion charge
now is that because there's a reason
behind it like their cameras are not
that advanced as birmingham's or or is
it the fact that you've got the mayor of
London saying let's get a little bit
more spond dues here and let's try and
catch a few of these EV drivers out and
uh have some more money off of them is
that the reason you let me know in the
comments section down below I'm not
saying anything I'm keeping my mouth
shut for Transit every time I see that
will it be chips or jacket spuds will it
be salad or frozen peas will it be
mushrooms red onion rings we'll have to
wait and see hope it's chips it's chips
we hope it's chips it's chips now for
those watching overseas who think that
I've lost the plot that's a commercial
by the way that was on TV in the
UK years ago I think the ' 80s or 70s uh
for McCain was it cane Bird's eyes
Steakhouse grills no it was something
can't remember what it was it was some
little beef burger steaks or whatever um
but it was on the TV and I think there
was in a Ford Transit in the back of a
Ford Transit so there we go right now
we're are we going here okay East Road
terminals 1 two and three which I'll be
coming down to at the end of the week to
fly off to Pur Australia don't miss that
one make sure you hit the Subscribe
button right here we go let's get down
here
[Music]
yeah I've got to say I used to love
London I thought it was an amazing place
um fantastic let me turn this here
condition down a bit thought it was an
amazing place like a magical adult
playground Etc right um it was first of
all New York was my favorite city and
then it was London and I have to say
whoever's running it at the moment you
ruined it absolutely ruined it it's an
awful place now don't want to drive in
it don't want to go in it it's not safe
anymore
um how how times have changed
sign of the times right where are we

second okay right so we've got 1.5 miles
to go God that Sun's bright
um what's going on here hang on need to
he's pulling out tell you what

we don't want to be giving uh Mr car any
money do we so there we go stick to the
speed limit right let's get there 50 m

and arcade game driving in London watch
watch the camera there watch the camera
there watch that camera watch your speed
limit watch where you're parking it's
all it's all a targe in the motorist
isn't it here is one for you I don't
know whether it's just me if you know

watching how about targeting the
criminals and just leaving those mot
Salone a little bit you know we're just
minding our own

the thing where are the Chargers let's
try and find
them come on where are

Renaissance itself that's making out of
this or whether it's actually a parking
company that they've got be interesting
to find that out I might have to nip
into the r on let's use their L and do a
little bit of uh research let me grab my
phone
right Tesla
R let's do this Tesla where are we
Tesla here we
go come on uh where are we

wasn't 250 kilowatt that it was giving
me was it where are we

again plug into charge I have done come
on
then there's no LED screens or anything
on
these I've plugged
in right okay lots of planes over there
I have to have a quick look at some
planes in a minute 47 uh kilow charging
rate 61% we're now at 3 minutes per past
three I'm going to have a I'm going to
take you off of the microphone there and
my tripod and I'm going to go in and do
a little bit of research and find out
why they're charging and who's charging
for this uh charging now charging Char
sounds confusing that charging to charge
your car charging to park to charge your
car you know what I mean let's get in
there 47 Kow that's it charging rate
that is uh it's not great that is it
let's get in
there fact do you know what I think I'll
get my coat on first it's a bit chilly
won't be saying that in Australia next
week go blind me it's too H it's too H
come
on right sorry if it's a bit windy CU
I've took my microphone kit off because
I want to um find out there's a guy
filming over there I wonder whether it's
big jet
TV oh BL you get a good view of the
runway here got to say I bet that is big
jet TV over there
um if you charging your car do you still
have to uh have to pay for the car park
yes sir you do and is that they're
charging they're charging it's 5 per5
when did that come into a force 8th of
December 8th of December who's actually
charging for that is it the hotel or is
it a car parkel the hotel is charging
for it yeah the car parking is in the
hotel right but they're not so they're
actually charging Tesla users to
actually charge their car now that is
the Renaissance Hotel themselves then is
it yeah it is that's a bit off that
isn't it really not good advertisement
for the hotel is
it I mean we just staff I know you're
just the staff yeah I understand that I
but it's what sorry we just do what we
are told to do I know I'm not having to
go at you you work here but the hotel so
it's the actual Hotel
themselves that are charging for the uh
for the car
par for the Tesla charging shame on the
hotel thank you very
much right so I've paid there we go
shame on the hotel shame on this hotel
for charging Tesla users £5 to charge
their car Tesla I suggest you take all
these charges out and put them somewhere
else cuz that is taking the proverbial
that is I'm on your side on this one
come
[Applause]
on
[Applause]
right so there you go allegedly I'm
going to say allegedly because the lady
in uh behind the counter there could
have got it wrong but she did say that
the hotel actually charg Tesla users £5
per
hour1 one to two hours if you're here 24
hours which you're not going to be
anywhere 24 hours let's be honest 40
quid but you know that's absolutely
outrageous to charge your car and this
is a proper Tesla charging station so I
reckon that is shameful shame on the
hotel or shame on whoever is making out
of this because I can guarantee it won't
be Tesla they wouldn't do that Tesla
take these charges out and stop this
hotel making profit and profiteering on
the back of your cars absolutely
outrageous what let's see where we are
uh now for my charging and let's just
get out of here unbelievable I was
actually going to stop at this hotel on
uh Thursday night before I flew off to
Australia and you know what I'm not
going to do because I'm not giving them
a penny of my money shame on them right
49 kilow it's absolutely outrageous
isn't it I'm at 78% I'm going to let it
get up to
80% and then we'll get on our way
because I don't want to go over the hour
I'm not giving him another Penny of my
money right just hang about a minute
just going look at some of the planes oh
wow Singapore Airlines like the
A380 I know that's not the A380 there
was an A380 over there it's moving now
um now then for you Aviation uh lovers
out there right I think I'm going on the
Dreamliner to Australia which is the
better plane the A380 the Airbus A380 or
the Boeing Dreamliner is a b isn't it
Dreamliner which is the best let me know
in that comment section oh another plane
coming
[Applause]
[Music]
in right so I'm going to stop this now
cuz I'm getting 50 kilow uh per hour um
and I've got enough charge now I'm up to
85% which is plenty to get me back uh to
Nottingham so um I'm going to wrap this
video up I'm going to say again shame on
the Renaissance Hotel um Tesla if you
are watching in fact tweet this to Tesla
get your charges out of this hotel's car
park because they're obviously making on
the back of you Tesla and it is not
acceptable at all if you've got a Tesla
I can understand if you haven't got a
Tesla I'm siding on the the I'm airing
on the side of Tesla here because if
you've got a Tesla and you want to
charge your car you're having to pay
these bloody parasites £5 to park
absolutely outrageous anyway there you
go you can charge on the Tesla Network
it hasn't been the fastest though I've
got to say um doesn't seem to be giving
me um as fast a charge as the Porsche
ones or even instt I'll have to say as
well though it is cheaper is it worth
getting a membership not really for me
because there aren't any Tesla charge
points around the East Midlands or over
in Leeds as far as I know there might be
a couple I don't know it actually shows
you on the map in fact um I'm going to
stop this charging now let's have a look
and let's see uh where they are here we
go find the nearest charger so it's
actually tell you oh is it telling me to
get oh it's telling me to it's not
letting me see the map cuz it's saying
unplug it and move or you're going to
get charged right one second me unplug
it
right so there are actually there are
actually some up north Liverpool way uh
and also Harriet way or Manchester sorry
Manchester at the Trafford Center and
also at Harriet but not that many up
north mainly down south really and a few
in Wales as well so it's not really
worth me getting a membership but uh
there you go anyway if you do like the
video by the way do give it a thumbs up
um do hit the Subscribe button it does
help this push this video out further to
other people put the word around as well
boycott this hotel if you're a Tesla
owner do not charge here thanks for
watching and I'll see you guys in the
next one
bye-bye you know what I find interesting
is I I know I can't remember what I find
[Laughter]
interesting
it's
[Laughter]
gone
