This is Tesla's second police report in a month! On May 7, Shaoguan police in Guangdong reported that a minivan was rear-ended by a small car when it was travelling from west to east to Fenghuang Road, Wuliting, Hanjiang District, killing the driver on the spot.

As can be seen from the surveillance footage, Tesla Model 3 was driving at extremely high speed at that time, and obviously turned the steering wheel to the right in the front section of the minivan, but due to the excessive speed and understeer of the vehicle, the driver finally chased the right rear part of the van on the side, and the huge impact also crashed the truck into the isolation zone. From the pictures at the scene, the vehicle involved is 2021 domestic Model 3 models, the main driver side impact is the most serious, A-pillar crashed into the bottom of the minivan, directly bent, and has been squeezed into the cockpit. According to the latest update of Baidu Encyclopedia, the deceased in the Tesla incident in Shaoguan is Kang, a former deputy director of the Shaoguan Public Security Bureau.

At the time of Tesla's frequent accidents, the remarks of Tesla's vice president of foreign affairs also caused market controversy. "in the use of vehicles, consumer education needs to be strengthened," he said in an interview with Xinhua. For example, cooperate with driving schools or transportation departments. Let everyone understand the use of the new car, to avoid misoperation, or some other problems caused by the lack of understanding of the function. " Finally, she added: "overall, smart cars are definitely safer than traditional cars."

Since then, there are media reports that Tesla will add a car pick-up test, suggesting that car owners score more than 80 points before lifting the car. In response, Tesla responded: "the so-called 'car pick-up test' is a 'delivery day car owners' lecture hall, which has just begun to be piloted recently. It is not a 'car pick-up test', and there is no mandatory requirement for any car owner to participate in the test, nor is there any score requirement. What is more, it is not recommended to pick up the car above 80 points. At present, the car pick-up process is still the same, and there are no additional restrictions in the process. However, if the test score is full, the car owner can receive an exclusive "Tesla owner certification-'special' freshman stage I" award. "
