AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/24 Report--
According to several media reports, a Tesla Model 3 caught fire in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province on June 16. The owner, Mr. Chen, said that the car suddenly increased its speed to 127km/h while driving before the accident. He hit the brakes without any reaction, dodged 40 or 50 cars all the way, and finally hit a mound at the end of the road and caught fire and destroyed it. In response to the matter, Tesla officially said that it had been dealt with at the first time, and there are now government departments involved in the investigation.
Video footage of the alleged loss of control of Tesla Model 3 in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, was posted online today.
Judging from the video, the recording footage of a vehicle driving in the direction of the lane showed that the blue Tesla Model 3 was driving at high speed on an ordinary road, far faster than other vehicles in the same direction, when Tesla Model 3 "illegally overtook the road" and nearly collided with the video vehicle, but fortunately, the video vehicle carried out an emergency avoidance operation.
Mr. Chen, the owner of Tesla Model 3, recalls the accident and still has lingering fears. Mr. Chen said that before the accident, the vehicle was in a normal driving state, but then it suddenly increased its speed to 127km/h, and there was no reaction when he hit the brakes. During this period, he dodged about 40 to 50 cars and plugged in when he saw the seam. Mr. Chen, who claimed to be a veteran driver with more than 20 years of driving experience, finally ran all the way to the end of Ganjiang Avenue and hit a mound and overturned his car. He climbed out of the car and borrowed a passer-by's cell phone to call the police.
After the crash, the car caught fire and caused an explosion. The whole Tesla has been covered by the fire, which is mainly concentrated in the interior of the vehicle. Mr. Chen said that usually running high speed is more, 127km/h is the maximum speed limit set by himself, and Tesla's auxiliary driving function was not used before the incident.
Fortunately, the owner of the car was not life-threatening in the accident. Mr. Chen said that at that time, there was a stomachache, and after examination it was said that there was something wrong with the small intestine, so he cut a section of the small intestine.
Tesla said in an official reply on June 18 that "the vehicle can record the relevant operation data of the owner. According to Tesla's vehicle design principle, the possibility of the vehicle with brake failure accelerating by itself is very small." It is suggested that we should wait for the conclusions made by the government departments based on the vehicle data before making a judgment. "
According to the follow-up reports of the media, the recording of the call between Mr. Chen and the Tesla staff showed that the staff said that there was no brake record in the background data. "We determined that there was no brake record, the acceleration pedal was moving, and the opening was relatively large." Mr. Chen denied this, saying that he had tried to hit the brakes many times without any response.
It is understood that Mr. Chen's Model 3 was purchased in March 2019, when the landing price was close to 600000, and it traveled about 30, 000 kilometers before the accident. It is said that at present, the Institute of Traffic Management Science of the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration of Market Supervision have sent personnel to Nanchang to participate in the accident investigation, and the results of further investigation have yet to be announced.
