This morning, # Tesla Chaozhou accident owner disobedient appraisal # topic rushed to Weibo hot search!

On November 5, 2022, Tesla Model Y, a man in Chaozhou, was driving at high speed on a rural road, resulting in 2 deaths and 3 injuries. According to the latest report, the accident identification report has been given to the Chaozhou police, but the agency said it would not release the results, while according to the EDR data of the vehicle involved, the switch pedal had been at 100% five seconds before the impact, that is, the switch pedal was killed, while the brake pedal was in Off, indicating that the driver did not brake effectively (the brake pedal was not pressed).

On March 1, the staff of the insurance company responsible for settling the claim for the accident said that the result of the accident identification had been issued, but the car owner refused to accept and asked for a new appraisal, which is still going through the examination and approval process, and the police have not yet issued a certificate of accident responsibility. In addition, he said that at present, the insurance company has completed the compensation of one of the dead, and the claims of the other deceased and other injured are still being processed. It was previously reported that after the accident, the family of the owner of Tesla involved paid more than 50, 000 yuan in medical expenses for the injured.

Event Review:

On November 5, 2022, a Model Y in Raoping County, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, suddenly swerved and accelerated slowly when it was about to pull over on a country road. Subsequently, the speed of the Model Y increased at top speed, and the driver turned the steering wheel to avoid the electric motorcycle and sounded a whistle to warn passers-by, but the speed of Model Y continued to accelerate, showing obvious left and right swings, and obvious tire howling could be heard, and the brake light of Model Y was not lit in the process. After that, the extremely fast Model Y directly hit the student who was riding a bike, and the speed slowed down slightly, but then the speed seemed to increase again. In the end, Model Y crashed into a tricycle coming in the opposite direction, and Model Y changed direction, slammed into the roadside shop and the shop parked on the roadside, and stopped. The front part of Model Y was severely damaged and basically scrapped. It is reported that the accident resulted in two deaths and three injuries.

In response to the accident, Tesla said for the first time that from the existing video of the accident, it can be seen that the brake lights were not on for a long time while the vehicle was driving at high speed. This is consistent with the situation reflected by the background data:

1) the vehicle switch was pressed deeply for a long time and was kept at 100% at one time.

2) there is no braking action during the whole process.

3) during driving, the driver briefly pressed the P-gear button four times and quickly released it, and at the same time, the brake light was quickly lit and extinguished.

At present, the police are seeking a third-party appraisal agency for identification to restore the truth of the accident, and we will actively provide the necessary assistance. Please do not listen to rumors and do not spread unconfirmed information.

Tesla responded again on November 16, 2022, "the accident identification work has been started, and the person participating in this appraisal work is a state-recognized professional authority, which is selected by the police." Under the supervision of the police, the appraisal work is under way. " At the same time, said, "the final accident identification results need to be announced by the police, all based on the information announced by the police." Tesla will fully cooperate with the investigation in accordance with the arrangements of the police and appraisal agencies. "
