AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/12 Report--

Tesla is the most well-known brand in the field of intelligent electric vehicles, but its poor assembly quality and rough workmanship are frequently complained by car owners, if the missing pieces of panels, gaps of different sizes, paint quality, water leakage and so on are acceptable, the experience of the following Tesla owner may make you feel very "surprised".

Recently, a British owner of Tesla Model 3 exposed the quality problems of the car online, and the steering wheel of the Model 3 fell off while backing up, which also attracted the attention of the media and Tesla officials.

The 43-year-old British Model 3 owner said on Twitter, "the steering wheel fell off today!" I'm afraid the rest will fall! Can you investigate why this kind of malfunction occurs in a car that has only been driving for a month? "

It is understood that the owner of the trip drove 32 kilometers, and at the end of the trip and backing up, the steering wheel accidentally fell off, leaving only the cable connected to the fallen steering wheel.

The owner immediately got in touch with Tesla after local sales, and an hour and a half later the malfunctioning Model 3 was towed away by Tesla for repair and provided a Jaguar scooter for the owner to use. A day later, the Model 3 was repaired and returned to the owner.

According to the owner, Tesla confirmed that the steering wheel was not bolted to the car during assembly and was investigating what happened in production, while local agents in the UK were also conducting a comprehensive investigation.

The owner also said that Tesla had assured him that the car was still the safest car in Britain and could not happen again. However, the car owner had no confidence in the incident and was very disappointed.

In addition, the owner also mentioned an episode. The Model 3 was originally scheduled to be delivered to him in October 2019, but Tesla officials delayed the delivery several times and did not deliver it to the owner until mid-March 2020. The car only traveled about 550 kilometers (340 miles) when the steering wheel fell off.

In fact, perhaps for some netizens who know Tesla, it is quite common to have unexpected problems. In August last year, a German car rental company announced that it had cancelled the purchase order for Model 3 because of paint problems, faulty wiring, scratches on the dashboard, fog in the lights and other problems, even after-sales service could not be guaranteed, and the process of waiting for spare parts was very long.

In April 2019, Shenma chauffeured car, a Chinese new energy chauffeured car company, issued a rights action statement after buying 278 Tesla, embarking on the road of rights protection because of Tesla's frequent quality problems and poor after-sales service.

Of course, the steering wheel suffered by the above British car owners suddenly fell off, which is relatively serious, and it was found that there was a lack of bolts, which is a serious assembly defect in the production line. In today's era of mature manufacturing and scale process, Tesla really should not have this kind of problem.

One netizen said, "Tesla really let me know that the car can still break down in these places." Another netizen said, "it's terrible." It may be standard with autopilot, and the steering wheel is equipped. "
