AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/11 Report--

On the evening of August 9, a Tesla Model 3 suddenly rushed into a gas station on Yang's train of thought in Shanghai, and the crash bars, posts and other facilities in the gas station were directly damaged, as were the three fuel trucks parked in the gas station. The impact directly led to serious damage to the front of Tesla Model 3, and the airbag in the car ejected directly. It is understood that an employee in the gas station and a car owner waiting for refueling were injured in the accident. In order to prevent a fire, other employees took out fire extinguishers and sprayed the smoking part.

According to the staff of the gas station, the Tesla Model 3 suddenly rushed into the gas station without warning, and the driver who caused the accident looked relatively young and may be inexperienced. The owner said he didn't know how the accident happened, but he was driving from west to east along Yang's train of thought. In order to avoid hitting the earthmoving car in front of him, he tried to crash into the green and bring a forced deceleration, but the vehicle seemed to be out of control and went straight into the gas station.

Fortunately, the accident did not cause large casualties. Four cars were damaged and two people were injured in the accident, and the injured were taken to hospital for treatment, local police said in a statement. At present, drivers are excluded from drunk driving and drug driving, and the cause of the accident is under further investigation.

Model 3, as a representative model of electric vehicles, unexpectedly went to the "old nest" of fuel vehicles to cause trouble, which also aroused the ridicule of many netizens. Some netizens commented that "the electric car launched a challenge to the fuel car", "I Tesla will refuel today, no one can stop me today", "recharge all day, but also want to change."

Earlier, there were media reports that Tesla lost control due to autopilot, and the Model 3 rush into a gas station also sparked netizens' speculation about the cause of his accident. However, the car owner did not make it clear that he used the Autopilot function, which may be due to his own operational reasons that caused the Model 3 to get out of control and lead to the accident. Of course, the real cause of the accident depends on the official announcement, which we will continue to pay attention to.
