AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/26 Report--

Tesla, as the best-selling electric car brand in the global market, with the continuous increase in production, the number of vehicles delivered to consumers is also gradually increasing. However, Tesla has become the focus of public opinion because of quality defects. Recently, Tesla recalled the vehicle due to very "low-level" problems, due to untightened bolts and defects that had been exposed many times before.

According to relevant sources, Tesla has applied to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to recall 9537 cars sold in the United States, including roof trim strips that may fall off during driving and defective bolts to connect the front upper control arm and steering knuckle, involving 9136 models of 2016 Model X and 2020 Model Y.

As can be seen from the reasons for the recall, the Model X recall is mainly due to the fact that the decorative strips on the front and top of the vehicle may have been glued to the vehicle without priming during the production of the 9136 2016 Model Xs involved. This will lead to the weakening of the adhesion of the vehicle during driving, and the decorative strip may be separated from the body.

It is worth noting that just a few days ago, a Model S was on its way in China, suspected of falling the skylight and flying backwards several times in the air, nearly hitting the rear car. The whole process happened to be filmed by the traffic recorder of the rear vehicle, and the scene was very thrilling.

Finally, Tesla officially replied: after a preliminary investigation, the vehicle had replaced the roof glass in a third-party authorized sheet spray center, and Tesla is conducting further investigation into the cause of the incident. Let netizens question that Truss is "throwing the pot".

Coincidentally, in October this year, an American car owner Tesla posted that when he was taking Model Y home on the highway, the glass roof suddenly fell off and flew off, and the Model Y was transformed into a convertible in a second. The owner drove the car to Tesla maintenance center for inspection, and the dealer thought that the roof of the Model Y may not be completely sealed when the seal was installed in the factory, or there may be a quality problem with the sealing parts on the roof.

Although the recall only involves Tesla Model X due to the shedding defects in the roof decoration strips, the above situation also appears on other different models, so other models inevitably have the same defects, and it is not clear when the recall will be carried out.

In addition, Tesla Model Y, the latest model delivered by the brand, has been delivered in the United States, but it is also included in this recall that the delivery of the new car is not long because of the untightened bolts on the control arm and steering knuckle on the front part of the vehicle. This leads to the risk of steering knuckle separation in the upper control arm of the vehicle during driving. Tesla also said that the separation of the upper control arms of three vehicles had recently been found in the United States.

It is worth noting that in an explanatory document to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at the end of October, Tesla denied that the recall in China was a quality problem. As a result, less than a month later, Tesla launched a recall in the United States for other problems, including the new model Model Y.

It has to be said that consumption is not unusual for Tesla's quality defects. After all, in this year's US Consumer report or J.D.Power 's annual new car quality survey report, Tesla was ranked "at the bottom" because of the most quality problems, or Model Y was rated as a model with much lower-than-average reliability. It does not affect consumers' expectations of Tesla.

It is reported that Tesla's share price has been violently pulled up in recent days, reaching an all-time high overnight. The stock closed overnight at $574, up 3.35%, with a market capitalization of $544.1 billion, equivalent to 3.5687 trillion yuan at this morning's FOB price.

In the third quarter, Tesla delivered a total of 139300 cars, a record high, and total production increased 76% year-on-year to 145000 vehicles. Total net profit in the third quarter was $8.771 billion, up 39% from the same period last year, making a profit for five consecutive quarters.
