Review of related events: on July 22, 2022, artist Lin Zhiying was involved in a car accident on Zhongzheng North Road in Taoyuan. his white Tesla lost control and hit the pier and caught fire and was once trapped in the car.

According to the video, the front of the Model X Lin Zhiying was severely deformed and burned violently after the impact, and black smoke was constantly emitting from the scene. Fortunately, they were successfully rescued by well-intentioned people nearby. Lin Zhiying's face was covered with blood and was in a semi-coma when he was dragged out, and his right hand seemed to be dislocated or broken. According to rescue workers at that time, the situation was so critical that the fire would burn into the car in a few seconds, and the engine outside began to explode before people could pull it out.

It is understood that the accident caused Lin Zhiying's facial fracture, comminuted fracture of the shoulder and humerus, as well as a slight concussion. After the accident, Lin Zhiying was rushed to hospital for treatment. Because two operations were performed before and after the comminuted fracture, titanium alloy was added to the shoulder for fixation.

In response to the accident in which Lin Zhiying was driving Tesla, the local law enforcement department responded: Lin Zhiying collided with the car separation island because he did not pay attention to the situation in front of the car. Tesla customer service also responded afterwards, "it is impossible to confirm the cause of the fire for the time being. in case of an emergency, the principal and co-driver has a mechanical device to open the door, which can be forced to unlock the door in the event of a power outage, and rear passengers can escape through the trunk." At the same time, the customer service also said that there is no flammable material near Tesla's driver's seat.

Lin Zhiying, who has always been a veteran fan of Tesla, became the owner of Tesla in 2020, spending NT $2.2 million on a Model 3 and then on a NT $3.5 million Model X, of which the Model 3 was modified by him to break his previous record of 1 minute 56 seconds in a lap. In addition to Model 3 and Model X, Lin Zhiying also ordered the new Model X and electric pickup truck Cybertruck, but due to chip shortages and production capacity, Cybertruck has not yet been delivered in mass production. Lin Zhiying himself has also expressed her appreciation for Tesla on many public occasions. "A lot of people say they can't go back after driving an electric car, especially after getting used to AP autopilot, which turns out to be true and rekindles the fun of driving," he said in a post. Even said: Tesla is comparable to a sports car, is his favorite tram, subverting one of his ideas and ideas about trams.

For Lin Zhiying said after the accident that he was still driving Tesla, some industry insiders said: this is normal. Taiwan Island is small, and driving electric cars will not have too serious mileage anxiety, and the driving cost is relatively low. For example, Lin Zhiying's family must have their own charging facilities, so it is normal for him to drive an electric car. In addition, Taiwan's own electric cars are not very outstanding, and electric cars from the mainland are also unable to pass at present, so only Tesla can choose.
