AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/08 Report--

According to media reports, a Tesla Model 3 suddenly popped up at five airbags as it passed a traffic light in Yuanzhou District of Yichun City on August 30. The owner said that when he drove Tesla without a physical collision, the airbags would all bounce off. Now that the insurance company is unwilling to pay for it, who should be responsible for the loss? At present, the owner's vehicle has been sealed in Tesla Nanchang after-sales service center for inspection.

According to the "certificate" issued by the police, at about 17: 04 on August 30, the owner of Tesla exploded while driving his car through the traffic light at the intersection of Yishang Avenue and Chunhui Road, and all the airbags ejected. After the explosion, the owner said he saw a truck parked in front of the right. Subsequently, the police accessed the surveillance video and contacted the owner of the truck, Mr. Yuan. According to the truck driver's description, he heard an explosion when he was passing through the intersection, then parked his car on the right side of the road and found a hole in the truck's right rear wheel. He changed the tire the next day.

Tesla owner said: at present, Tesla asked him to contact the Yichun traffic police detachment, asked the traffic police to write to Tesla, asking Tesla to issue an inspection report. Tesla Nanchang after-sales service center staff said in an interview with the media that the backstage data showed that the vehicle was hit by force to cause the airbag to eject, and reached a certain force value, which is very clear. At the same time, it also said: a complete chain of evidence was formed after the visit and investigation. "it was very clear that the huge impact of a flat tire on the right rear wheel of the truck was felt by Tesla, and it thought there would be the possibility of collision, and the airbag bounced off in an instant. This is to protect the driver, and its chassis and interior decorations have been knocked off by the impact. " Tesla Nanchang after-sales service center staff said: there are many cases like this. "We are still helping customers communicate with the local traffic police, hoping to identify the responsibility for the accident as soon as possible, assist customers in dealing with vehicle maintenance, and provide necessary support and assistance." For this accident, from the "certificate" issued by the police, we can see that the specific cause of the accident has not yet been clearly explained by the police, and we will continue to pay attention to the follow-up situation.

It is worth noting that similar incidents occurred as early as 2017, when a Tesla Model X owner in Hangzhou said that at a red light such as Tesla Model X, there was a sudden danger that all eight airbags popped out of the car. After the accident, the owner said that he and the two passengers on the bus were injured to varying degrees. At that time, Tesla officially responded, "this is the first time that Tesla has received a relevant accident report in the world." We need the owner's consent to test the vehicle to confirm the cause. "

As we all know, the function of the airbag is to protect the safety of drivers and passengers, but it is too unsafe to eject the airbag without impact.
