Recently, some NIO owners posted in the NIO App community that after driving for so many years, they could experience the throttle folding. The rescue also asked if it was loose. They told the customer service to go to the store to check. Below this content, a Wei Lai official certification staff member "Pu Yang" replied in the comment area that the communication of the service group was to scrape the shoes when getting off the bus, which was indeed the first time Wei Lai encountered such problems. He said, Wei Lai related personnel have gone to the service center, hope to meet with the owner to understand, the specific situation will certainly be properly solved.

In response to this matter, Wei Lai senior director Ma Lin responded that from the scene and lateral external forces related. In order to protect driver safety, accelerator pedal arm will generally design fracture induction groove. When the induction groove area is subjected to a large lateral force, it will break, which ensures that the fracture does not occur at the sensor position, and at the same time, the pedal can still return to the initial position after the fracture, and the acceleration signal is not output to ensure the safety of the driver. Has sent the pedal back for analysis, has the results and everyone said. A quick search reveals that this isn't unusual.

In response to this, some netizens said: How good, all for safety. You should get a parachute! Along these lines, making the accelerator pedal weaker may reduce the lethality of accelerator accidents. There are also netizens said: anti-collision pre-break gap will have, trample is rare. don't ask, it's a mistake.

Similar throttle fractures have occurred in other cars. In 2016, when the media tested the vehicle acceleration performance of Chery Arize 5, the accelerator pedal of the vehicle broke. At that time, the manufacturer's investigation of Ariza 5 concluded that the accelerator pedal of the vehicle was designed based on active and passive safety considerations, and it was indeed possible to break under certain conditions. It is worth noting that Tesla has also been involved in accelerator pedal fracture accidents. In 2017, a Model S owner in Texas posted a photo on Facebook of a broken plastic lever on the accelerator pedal. In 2019, an American Tesla Model X owner reported that his accelerator pedal broke when he started accelerating at traffic lights, and the vehicle lost power. Later, in an interview with Forbes, the owner said he had communicated with Tesla, who said the company was aware of the problem. In addition, he tweeted Tesla CEO Musk, raised his own problems and stressed that the accelerator link should not be made of plastic.

At present, the problem of broken accelerator pedal in NIO is whether it is the product itself or the driver, which has yet to be released by the official.
