On December 24th, a video of Tesla Model Y falling off a bridge went viral on the Internet, causing a heated discussion among many netizens. Surveillance footage showed that a Tesla Model Y turned left at the intersection to enter the driveway at the intersection of Qinghong Road in Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. When the left turn was about to be completed, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and then broke through the guardrail and fell into the river.

According to a follow-up video, the Model Y has been pulled ashore after falling into the river, and the people who fell into the water have been rescued and taken to hospital for treatment. the casualties are unknown.

According to the group chat records obtained by the auto industry's attention to the occurrence of the accident, there are probably two theories about the accident: one is that the Model Y was a test drive, driving for a female client at the time of the accident, and there was a sales consultant in the car. Another theory is that the Model Y was not a test driver. The accident was caused by husband and wife fighting over the steering wheel.

(2) in contrast, the latter's argument is more valid. According to the Shell Financial report, Tesla told him that the test drive of Model Y fell into the river is a rumor, and it has been confirmed that the vehicle is not a test-driven vehicle in Tesla's store, but that the user has bought a car for his own use and that there is no Tesla staff on board. In addition, according to people at the scene, there was a conflict between the driver and the co-pilot. At present, the police have intervened to deal with it.

As of press time, the local police have not released the progress of the incident, as to what caused the accident, we need to wait for further official notification.
