AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/24 Report--

According to media reports, at about 12: 48 noon on May 22, an accident suddenly occurred in the building materials market on the West Ring Road of Liuzhou, Guangdong Province. A Tesla suddenly accelerated into a storefront while backing up, causing traffic waves and varying degrees of damage to the storefront. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Judging from the scene of the accident, the accident vehicle was black Tesla Model Y. According to the owner, the Model Y was purchased in February this year and the accident occurred when the vehicle was out of control when backing up.

According to the surveillance footage of the incident at that time, we can see that before the incident, the Model Y was parked on the left side of the collision facade. After the owner and the family of three got on the bus, the trunk of the vehicle automatically rose, and the owner closed the trunk of the vehicle and backed up. However, at the moment of backing up, the Model Y suddenly backed away quickly and failed to capture the video of hitting the facade due to the limitation of the picture.

According to another video, the right tail of the Model Y has rushed into the facade, and the trunk of the right rear class vehicle has been damaged to varying degrees. The glass door that was hit was broken, and there were different kinds of damage in the store. According to the preliminary statistics of the person in charge of the facade, if the damaged doors and heads need to be replaced, the cost will be more than 100,000 yuan, which does not include the losses caused by the suspension of business.

The owner recalled, "when I backed up, I tapped the throttle, when the car suddenly backed up quickly." I immediately stepped on the brakes to control the speed of the car, but I found that the brakes were hard and could not be stepped on at all. Then it hit the front wall, and then the car stopped. " The owner said that he has been a veteran driver for more than ten years, and he has driven a lot of cars, and he has never encountered such a situation before. In addition, the owner also revealed that his Model Y had many central control black screens and several automatic trunk rises before, but there was no brake failure in the brake system.

The owner said, "before the media reported that some Tesla owners encountered brake failure, I did not believe it until this personal experience that this is true."

After analyzing the driving data, Tesla staff said that the driver did not step on the brake pedal before the collision, according to the e-car website. Background data show that the vehicle in the reversing process, the acceleration pedal continues to step down, backing up to a maximum speed of 26.88 km / h. At the same time, before the collision, the driver did not step on the brake pedal, and no fault was found in the whole process.

Tesla believes that there is no problem with the vehicle. Before the accident, the driver did not put on the brake, but mistakenly stepped on the acceleration pedal. The driver said that the brake was too hard to step on at that time, so it is still unknown whether he stepped on the wrong pedal or could not step on it. At present, Tesla will conduct further accident identification, and Tesla said that he is willing to provide data to cooperate with the relevant departments to carry out the investigation work. We will keep our attention in the future.
