Model 3 caused a major accident Tesla will lose in the European market?

Commercial code December 15 (Shao Feng) news, G7 then announced on the 14th that its 37 Tesla Model 3 vehicles were parked, until the police investigation report came out to determine whether it was a model 3 mechanical defect, and then decided whether to unblock.

The G7 is the largest taxi shop in France, with 9,000 drivers in Paris serving as independent contractors. Half of the G7's fleet is currently hybrid or pure electric, and the company hopes to achieve pure electrification of the entire fleet by 2027.

Yann Ricordel, deputy general manager of G7, said that as a precautionary measure, the company decided to suspend the service of 37 drivers equipped with the same model, and wait for the conclusion of the police investigation. The rest of the Tesla owners in the G7 fleet were not affected.

It is understood that the suspension of the Model 3 is mainly due to a major accident caused by a Tesla Model 3 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris over the weekend. During the driver's work on the 11th, driving a Tesla Model 3 to take his wife and children to the restaurant for dinner, the vehicle suddenly lost control and flew a bicycle rider, and then rushed onto the sidewalk to knock over at least 7 passers-by, and then crashed into the car formation. Due to the suspected out-of-control Model 3, it caused a horrific accident with 1 death and 20 injuries

The photo shows that the front half of the Tesla car is almost completely destroyed, the front windshield is broken, the left front wheel is detached, the sheet metal on the left side of the vehicle is sunken into scrap iron, the window is all broken, and the rear tire is concave, which shows the impact force at that time.

Tesla responded on Monday that a preliminary investigation had ruled out the possibility of mechanical failure of the vehicle.

Yann Ricordel, deputy general manager of G7, said that the Model 3 will be completely suspended during the investigation to protect the safety of drivers, passengers and other passers-by. As for the other drivers driving the Model 3 in the fleet, he said that everyone will receive full compensation for their losses, and the company hopes to usher in a turnaround as soon as possible, so that drivers can get back on the road in a short period of time.

You should know that this is not the first time Tesla has lost control, it has had many similar accidents in the United States, but in the end, most of them have been solved. It should be known that Europe may be the fastest market for all new energy vehicles, which will face the expiration of the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in the next few years. Tesla has also been its first choice as an alternative product, but if the accident does not give a satisfactory answer, or the actual cause, Tesla will be lost in the European market.
