AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/19 Report--

In recent months, Tesla has been exposed to a number of out-of-control crashes. during the crash, it was suspected that Tesla suddenly accelerated automatically and his brakes failed, which brought a lot of safety questions to Tesla.

According to media reports, a tragic car crash occurred in a residential area in Lucheng District, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. the vehicle involved was Tesla Model 3 made in China. Several vehicles parked in the parking lot were damaged and the front of the Model 3 involved was completely destroyed. Tesla's owner was seriously injured in the accident and was finally out of danger after seven hours of rescue.

From the surveillance footage in front of the parking lot, we can see that a Tesla Model 3 crashed into the parking lot's interceptor bar at ultra-high speed, then veered violently into a number of cars in the parking lot, and Tesla flipped directly after the collision.

According to the driver, Mr. Chen, the Tesla Model 3 was mentioned at the end of March this year. Mr. Chen also said that the Tesla did not turn on the auxiliary driving function at the time of the incident, so he was completely controlling the driver. when the vehicle suddenly accelerated, he tried to take emergency braking measures to intervene, but to no avail.

Mr. Chen said that in the follow-up, the vehicle will be sent for inspection to investigate and determine the cause of the accident, but there is not much hope that the test results can "get the answer back" for himself.

In view of the accident, netizens put forward their own views. Some netizens questioned that the driver may have used acceleration as the brake, resulting in the accident, while some netizens thought that Tesla frequently exposed such incidents, indicating that Tesla itself has a quality problem. However, Zhejiang Traffic Voice Xiao Cui Hotline contacted the car owner afterwards, and the driver said that Tesla himself suddenly accelerated and could not stop, causing the accident in the video.

It is worth mentioning that there were also a number of domestic reports of accidents caused by Tesla's sudden acceleration. 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. The owner made it clear that he did not use the auxiliary driving function when driving, and he did not know how the accident happened, but he drove from west to east along Yang's train of thought, and in order to avoid hitting the earthmoving car in front of him, he tried to hit the greening to bring a forced deceleration, but the vehicle seemed to be out of control and broke directly into the gas station.

In response to this matter, Tesla customer service staff told the media on August 19th that the service center is currently docking with the car owner, and the technician will provide the specific operation inquired to the car owner according to the background data, and the specific cause of the accident will be communicated with the car owner. The above customer service personnel also said that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle itself, and this phenomenon generally does not occur if you do not step on the wrong acceleration and brake pedals. The previous cases of "sudden acceleration" have been verified to be because the driver mistakenly stepped on the acceleration pedal, resulting in vehicle acceleration, supported by background data, and has been synchronized to the owner himself.
