AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/15 Report--

On October 11, the latest judgment of Lucheng District People's Court in Wenzhou City showed that due to improper operation of Wenzhou Tesla owners, the vehicles accelerated out of control and collided with various facilities such as parking vehicles and sidewalk guardrails, requiring the owners to apologize to Tesla and compensate 50,000 yuan for 90 days on their account on the chatter platform.

In response to the verdict, Wenzhou Tesla owner Mr. Chen posted an article entitled "I believe justice will eventually come" on his Weibo account, responding to the outcome of the first-instance judgment and clarifying the unreflected facts.

Mr. Chen said that after the end of the trial, in the case of the expiration of the trial limit, the judge informed me that it was necessary to extend the trial limit for 15 days, and within the 15 days of the extension of the trial limit, he obtained his fourth inquiry transcript from the first brigade of Wenzhou City Traffic Administration Bureau according to his authority. Mr. Chen said that he had made four inquiry records in the Traffic Management Bureau. The first three interrogation records showed that he did not step on the brakes by mistake. The fourth change of statement was because the accident insurance claim could not be carried out, while other car owners kept asking for compensation. In order to make insurance claims, he had to change his statement to make the fourth inquiry record. Therefore, the liability accident identification and insurance claims could be carried out smoothly. However, the fourth inquiry record was not the true situation of the case, which was also informed to the court. However, the judge only took the transcript of the fourth inquiry and did not make any explanation of the relevant content, which made it seem that only one transcript had been made and admitted that the brakes had not been stepped on.

In addition, Mr. Chen also said that the driving record data in his car disappeared, and Tesla always refused to provide background driving data for the first half hour of the accident. In addition, Mr. Chen believes that the key data and tools identified in the "Appraisal Opinion" are provided by Tesla, and their authenticity is doubtful, and the text expression of the "Appraisal Opinion" itself cannot draw the conclusion that the brakes are not stepped on.

The owner finally said that he hoped that friends from all walks of life who cared about this could go to the local Wenzhou City Transportation Administration Bureau for investigation and interview, and to the Automobile Engineering Society of Wenzhou City to understand the whole process of "appraisal opinion" being released, and even seek expert help to help restore the truth of the matter. The owner also firmly believes that justice may be late, but it will not be absent, and will eventually come.

According to previous reports, in August 2020, Tesla Wenzhou owner Mr. Chen drove his Tesla Model 3, which suddenly accelerated 100 meters away from the parking lot and crashed into more than a dozen cars in succession before stopping. The accident caused damage to a number of cars, and Mr. Chen's own Model 3 was also seriously damaged. The owner, Mr. Chen, took seven hours to rescue and was medically identified as Grade 9 disability.

After the accident, Mr. Chen said that the accident was caused by the vehicle out of control acceleration crashing into the toll gate railing. His vehicle did not start automatic assisted driving at that time. At the beginning, the speed was only 5km/h, and then suddenly accelerated to 120km/h. The vehicle suddenly accelerated out of control, and emergency braking had no effect. Mr. Chen also said that he has been driving for more than ten years "old driver", absolutely impossible to make the accelerator when the brake pedal wrong this mistake.

Subsequently, the police entrusted Wenzhou City Automobile Engineering Society, which is more authoritative in judicial appraisal of local vehicles, to test and appraise Mr. Chen's Tesla and issued corresponding test reports. At that time, Wenzhou Automobile Engineering Society released Wenzhou Tesla accident investigation results: The owner mistakenly stepped on the pedal, the accelerator as a brake pedal caused the accident.

In fact, Mr. Chen has repeatedly said on the Internet, Is in order to claim compensation was forced to ask the appraisal agency to write so,"Mistaken pedal as brake" Is not the real cause of the accident. At present, the dispute over this accident still lies in whether the owner has stepped on the brakes, whether it is a mistake to step on the brakes, and Mr. Chen repeatedly claimed Tesla "brake failure","abnormal acceleration" and so on, Tesla was also sued to the court, and was sentenced to apology and compensation in the first instance. "I am not satisfied with the verdict because it is not true," Chen said, according to the Daily Economic News."I will resolutely appeal and take all legal measures to protect my legitimate rights and interests."
