AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/23 Report--

A few days ago, some netizens revealed that a new Tesla car was smoking on the road, and the scene was very frightening. In response to this matter, Tesla's official Weibo refuted the rumor, which was caused by the atomization effect of sterilization of the vehicle at that time.

From the video provided by netizens, a Tesla Model 3 is parked on the road, and there is thick white smoke coming out around the car. There is white smoke constantly flowing out from the gap between the front and rear doors of the car. From the front glass, the car is also filled with thick white smoke. You can hear the video photographer say, "Oh, my God!" It's scary. "it's even mentioned that the car is a new car.

Tesla's official Weibo clarified the next day, saying that after confirming that the video was being sterilized and deodorized, and that the smoke was the atomization effect of the sterilization equipment in the car, it was not a vehicle fault.

For this matter has also been criticized by many netizens, some netizens think that this is rumor-mongering, intentional hacking, and even think that the publisher is not responsible without confirmation.

In fact, Tesla's spontaneous combustion incident is not alone. In April this year, in an underground garage in a residential district in Shanghai, a Tesla Model S sedan car suddenly emitted white smoke and caught fire, which also affected other vehicles parked around. On May 3, a Tesla Model S spontaneously ignited in a private garage in San Francisco, USA, and a large amount of smoke emitted from the right rear of the car, which was then caused by spontaneous combustion, without serious consequences because firefighters arrived in time.

Previously, all spontaneous combustion models were Model S, but for the new model 3, Tesla replaced the battery pack with a 21700 battery, which increased the energy density by about 20%, so it was relatively stable. And Tesla also said that the new battery can largely put an end to Tesla's "easy spontaneous combustion".

The incident of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles has always been a hot topic of social concern, so any movement will be "magnified", especially online celebrity cars like Tesla. However, for the incident of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles, it is generally believed that the probability of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles is much lower than that of fuel models, but at present, as a new thing, the number of electric vehicles is not as large as that of fuel vehicles, and it will be paid special attention once there is a stir.

In addition, new energy is a trend, we should also treat it calmly, any new product takes time to hone, so some of the events have been confirmed and then announced, so as not to become rumors.
