The car crashed the shelf, hit the direction of the lobby, hit Tesla, who was parked outside, rushed into the lobby, and all the airbags bounced off. it's a good thing people are okay.

As of press time, Tesla officially did not respond to the above incident and related remarks.

Judging from the driver's remarks, he did not point out that the cause of the accident was the problem of his own operation.

In 2020 alone, there have been a number of Tesla acceleration accidents, and some drivers used the words "suddenly out of control", "automatic acceleration" and "brake failure" in their responses.

In June 2020, a fire accident happened when Tesla Model 3 crashed into Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The owner, Mr. Chen, said that before the accident, the car suddenly increased its speed to 127km/h while driving. He hit the brakes without any reaction. He dodged 40 or 50 cars all the way. After driving for about 8 kilometers, he finally hit a mound at the end of the road and caught fire. He climbed out of the car and borrowed a passer-by's cell phone to call the police.

The conclusion of Tesla's investigation shows that from before the accident to the accident, there was only a signal that the accelerator pedal was pressed, there was no signal that the brake pedal was pressed, and no brake marks were found at the scene.

On August 12, 2020, a Wenzhou Tesla Model 3 crashed into the interceptor bar of the parking lot at super high speed, then slammed into other vehicles in the parking lot. Tesla flipped directly after the crash. According to reports, in this accident, the front of the Model 3 was seriously damaged and the owner was finally out of danger after seven hours of rescue. The owner of the car, Mr. Chen, recalled afterwards 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.

On December 12, 2020, a Tesla Model S crashed into a building in Beijing. According to related reports, the owner said the car suddenly lost control at the time of the accident and crashed into residential buildings at the speed of 80km/h. According to the accident picture at the scene, the car is a Model S with a blue license plate, which should be an old model. So far, Tesla has not responded to the accident.

On December 18, 2020, a Tesla Model S in Shenzhen suddenly accelerated into the front car while following at a slow speed, and the taillights lit up at the moment of hitting the taxi, and then the double flashes of the Model S lit up after hitting the truck. The car owner said on the WeChat group: he had been slowing down on the brakes all the time, but suddenly he felt unable to step on it and couldn't hit the direction, so the car rushed forward.

In response to the Shenzhen incident, Tesla officially responded: after reading and analyzing the vehicle data, during the acceleration of the vehicle and the second collision, the driver pressed the acceleration pedal continuously and deeply, without pressing the brake pedal during the period. The owner has been assisted in the settlement of insurance claims and the maintenance of the vehicle.

The successive Tesla acceleration accidents are really "weird", and most drivers believe that it is not the problem of their own operation. For the current official response to the accident, Tesla said that the background data show that only the acceleration pedal down the signal, there is no brake pedal signal.

"vehicle problem" or "operation problem". In many accident cases, the car owner and Tesla always seem to hold their own opinions. Which side is the problem, perhaps only the relevant regulatory agencies involved in the investigation, there will be a fair conclusion.
