AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/11 Report--

Today, Tesla and BYD both went viral on Weibo. An entry about "BYD 4S store was sentenced to make a public apology to Tesla" has made it into the most popular search list on Weibo, causing a lot of heated discussion among netizens. As of press time, the topic has been read more than 19.728 million times and discussed 548 times on Weibo.

According to the civil judgment that exposed the incident on the Internet, the cause of the incident was that Anqing Fengdi New Energy Automobile sales and Service Co., Ltd. released a short video on its Douyin account that "Porsche owners come to see BYD." BYD is unstoppable like a Tesla without brakes "was sued by Tesla. According to the result of the judgment: while the defendant "Anqing Fengdi New Energy Automobile sales and Service Co., Ltd." promoted himself by fabricating and spreading misleading information, it gave Tesla's existing and potential consumers the misleading information that Tesla's car had no brakes or there was something wrong with the brakes, which damaged the plaintiff's commercial reputation and constituted commercial slander. Anqing Fengdi New Energy Automobile sales and Service Co., Ltd. was ordered to publish a statement on its official Douyin account, apologizing to the plaintiff, eliminating the impact for the plaintiff, and compensating the plaintiff for economic loss of 50, 000 yuan. In response to the incident, the person in charge of the Fengdi 4S store in Anqing City responded: "this is an employee's personal behavior." Employees use the company account to post videos, which the company deletes as soon as it finds out. At present, the employee has left his job. "

The Douyin account opened by Anqing Fengdi New Energy Automobile sales and Service Co., Ltd. is now known as "BYD Ocean King Fengdi", and the short video about the complaint has been deleted on its Douyin platform, according to the automotive industry. At present, the video of apologizing to Tesla has not been released as of press time.

It is worth noting that since Tesla opened the legal department on Weibo in 2021, he has filed lawsuits against a number of car owners and the media, mostly because of Tesla's brakes. The one with greater influence should be Tesla's lawsuit against Douyin's millions of online celebrities Xiaogang and Douyin Big V "Boss Cai".

Tesla sued senior Xiaogang because "senior Xiaogang" used the information network to carry out defamation. It is understood that the "Xiaogang senior" released two test videos on April 29 and 30, 2021, respectively, for Tesla Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7 for emergency braking test, which respectively installed paper cars and inflatable dummies on the driveway to test the emergency braking function of the vehicle. The final "test" results show that Tesla Model 3 failed to stop and hit the paper car and dummies, while Xiaopeng P7 stopped the perfect emergency brake. Subsequently, the video raised questions from another blogger, Xiao Li Flying car, who released a number of videos questioning the authenticity of the test content. "Xiao Li Flying car" said in the video that the "Xiaogang senior" test Tesla Model 3 secretly stepped on a foot switch, the detail is that Tesla's screen can show the status of stepping on the switch and kinetic energy recovery, while Tesla Model 3 crashed into the paper car, the machine's energy bar still shows that there is still power output. At present, the prosecution results of the case have not yet been reported.

The reason for suing Douyin Big V "Boss Cai": because in April 2021, "Boss Cai" exposed in a video that Tesla was in charge of inspection work in the name of "eat, drink, play, eat and take cards" and other behavior. It is understood that the final result of the case was that Tesla won the case and made a public apology to Tesla on Douyin and Wechat official account, while compensating Tesla 100000 yuan.

As we all know, the issue of braking has always been a hot topic among netizens about Tesla's accident. By combing Tesla's investigation reports on many accidents, the cause of the accident is basically caused by the owner's operation error or other objective factors, and most car owners think that Tesla has the situation of "brake failure." up to now, it is still inconclusive whether it is the improper operation of the driver or the problem of Tesla's products.

Prior to this, Tesla officially released a number of letters of apology from the media, saying that the content released by these media had a little false information, which had brought some trouble to Tesla and the majority of car owners. In order to help you understand the facts, Tesla will share the real situation with you on a regular basis. Tesla Musk also revealed in an interview with the media: Tesla is often attacked for no reason, so I think we must have a strong litigation team to fight back. As for Tesla's lawsuit against BYD's 4S store, some industry insiders pointed out that Tesla hopes to use legal means to deter public opinion in order to ensure the reputation of its brand. However, from another point of view, the use of legal means to solve the problem can reduce a lot of unnecessary reports to a certain extent, but fundamentally speaking, there are still fewer cases related to Tesla, which will fundamentally reduce the public's attention to the issue of Tesla's brakes.
