AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/24 Report--

Lin Zhiying has not made any new progress in driving Tesla in a car accident. A few days ago, there was another Tesla crash on the streets of Taipei. According to ETtoday News Cloud, Zhongshi News Network and other Taiwan media sources, at about 5: 00 p.m. on the 23rd, a car accident occurred on Renai Road in Daan District, Taipei City. A Tesla Model S pulled out quickly from the underground parking lot of a building and suddenly accelerated unexplained. It first hit a minibus in front of it, and then the front of the car shifted to the right and hit the granite beams and pillars of the building. The accident led to serious damage to the front of Tesla Model S. The cause of the accident remains to be further investigated.

According to reports, the accident occurred at the northeast corner of Renai Ring Road in Taipei, at the northeast corner of Renai Ring Road. At that time, Model had just pulled out of the underground parking lot of the building when it rear-ended and hit the car in front of it. Then the front of the car shifted to the right and hit the beams and pillars of the building. The impact force was so strong that not only the granite was knocked down, but Tesla himself was almost completely destroyed, and then rushed to the sidewalk, injuring two passers-by. Fortunately, minor injuries are not life-threatening. The video shows the Model S accelerating from the ramp of the parking lot, while the driver claims a "vehicle failure". As to whether it is a vehicle problem or an operational problem, the detailed cause remains to be further investigated.

It is understood that the Model S is a high-performance car owned by Tesla and the first model launched by Tesla after entering China. In October 2014, Tesla China announced the price of Model S models, starting from 683100 yuan for Model S 60D, 769100 yuan for Model S 85D and 980500 yuan for Model S P85D. According to reports, the blue Model S that caused the accident starts at NT $3.63 million in Taiwan. Take the 2020 Model S as an example, the performance version is equipped with a 577kW drive motor, with a peak torque of 1140N ·m and a zero acceleration of only 2.5s, making it one of the fastest sedan cars in the world.

Prior to this, there was also a serious accident in Taiwan province, but so far there has been no new progress. At about 10:50, artist Lin Zhiying was involved in a car accident on Zhongzheng North Road, Taoyuan. According to reports, Lin Zhiying went out with her son at that time, driving a white Tesla Model X into the separation island of the bridge locomotive, hitting the telephone pole askew, while the front of the Model X was seriously deformed and burning violently, the scene emitted bursts of black smoke and the airbag bounced off. According to the local fire department, when the firefighters arrived, the fire was quite fierce, with thick black smoke rising from the scene, and the fire was put out after emergency extinguishment, but the front of Tesla had been burned to the skeleton, and when it was ready to lift the extinguished Model X onto the trailer, Tesla caught fire again, and firefighters had to keep sprinkling water to cool down.

According to the exposed video, the front position of the vehicle is surrounded by fire, and after the fire is put out, the vehicle has been burned to the front just a frame. According to rescuers at the scene, five or six of their workers immediately rushed to the rescue. A group of people went to get the fire extinguisher, and a group of people cooperated with passers-by. Lin Zhiying was seriously injured and was stuck in the car. In the middle of the rescue, Lin Zhiying was still stuck in the car, and the fire in the front of the car was difficult to put out. They opened four doors and tried their best to drag Lin Zhiying out and almost led the car to burn.

According to surveillance videos exposed by Taiwan media, Lin Zhiying drove Tesla slowly at the intersection, then continued to drive all the way forward, only to suddenly deviate from the lane at the intersection ahead and hit the island separated by cars and locomotives, and the whole car then fell into flames. Local law enforcement authorities responded to the accident of artist Lin Zhiying driving Tesla, saying that Lin Zhiying crashed into the car separation island because he did not pay attention to the condition in front of the car, sustained minor injuries to his head and face, and was now in hospital without life-threatening. The police carried out a breath alcohol concentration test on Lin Zhiying, and his alcohol test value was 0, and there was no drunk driving behavior. In response to the accident, Tesla responded that the cause of the fire could not be confirmed for the time being, and there was no flammable material near Tesla's driver's seat.

The Model X is Tesla's second mass-produced model, and it is also the second model introduced by Tesla after entering China. At this year's Expo, Tesla brought the Model X Plaid model, which was first released in January 2021, with great changes compared with the old model in appearance and interior decoration, especially the use of a new design language. In terms of power, the Model X Plaid version is equipped with a three-motor drive system with a peak power of 1020 horsepower, a 0-100km/h acceleration of 2.6 seconds and a range of 536km, which is comparable to the mainstream high-performance models in the market.

Recently, Tesla accidents have increased significantly, but up to now Tesla has not admitted that there are problems with its own products. EDR data is an important breakthrough in investigating the cause of the accident. EDR can record the key data of vehicle operation before, during and after the collision, such as vehicle speed, vehicle collision acceleration, driving assistance system, driver's reaction to the incident, etc., but since Tesla has the key data, and the data analysis of new energy vehicles is much more complex than that of fuel vehicles. It is difficult for even authorities to make an identification. "Automotive Industry concern" believes that in order to better protect their own rights and interests, it is best to install driving recorders or black boxes on their cars, which can be used to review the situation in the event of a traffic accident. To determine who is responsible.
