The female owner of the car on the roof of the station sued Tesla for trial, and the parties: were provoked

On the morning of December 24, the woman who entered the Shanghai Auto Show station and shouted "Tesla brake failure" on the roof of the car claimed that the woman sued Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and Tao Lin, the global vice president of Tesla Company, for a dispute over the right to reputation, which was tried at the Beiguan District People's Court in Anyang City, Henan Province.

According to public information, the dispute between Ms. Zhang and Tesla originated on February 21, 2021, when Ms. Zhang's Tesla Model 3 crashed. At that time, ms. Zhang's father was driving the vehicle, and the accident was judged by the traffic police to be the driver's full responsibility. In this regard, the female owner believes that the Tesla car "brake failure", and for this reason, she has repeatedly gone to the Tesla Zhengzhou store to defend her rights.

At the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19, she wore a dress printed with the words "brake failure," stood on the roof of a Tesla show car, and shouted "Tesla brake failure." Later, Ms. Zhang was placed under administrative detention. Tesla vice president Tao Lin said in an interview that "the recent negative is her contribution" and "she is very professional, there should be (people) behind it."

At that time, the incident continued to ferment, various voices swept through the field of public opinion, some people supported Ms. Zhang's firm protection of rights, and some people suspected the deep reason for her "on the roof" behavior.

On the evening of December 23, the night before the official confrontation between Ms. Advocate and Tesla, Jiupai News interviewed Ms. Zhang on both litigation and rights protection.

"I was enraged and prepared for a long run."

Nine Faction News: Tesla sued 5 million, what do you think of this amount?

Ms. Zhang: Before receiving the 5 million lawsuit from Tesla, I was reminded by other riders that this situation may happen. Not intimidated by this 5 million, according to the law, consumers have the right to criticize and evaluate the goods they buy and the services they receive.

And what I have been saying all along is based on my own personal experience and the objective facts of what happened to my family, so I believe that the law is just and believe in justice.

Nine Factions News: Why is there no mention of economic compensation in the appeal, rather than profit and data?

Ms. Zhang: Only by getting complete data can we understand the truth of the facts, and when the time comes, in accordance with laws and regulations, reasonable compensation, how much the court will judge I recognize.

From the beginning to the end, there was no mention of Tesla to give high compensation, and before this matter attracted public attention, in March this year, under the organization of the Market Supervision Bureau, I had a communication with Tesla staff. At that time, I clearly expressed my desire for vehicle accident data, and the staff member said that our data is very complicated and you can't read it; he also said that even if it is provided to the head of the regulatory department, they can't understand it.

Incredibly, I felt discriminated against, and he was flouting regulators. All along, this is my reasonable and legitimate claim, and I have received such a reply. I was irritated by this attitude.

I like this brand to buy a car to become a car owner, and as a result, I don't even get Tesla's minimum respect for users, and I don't understand why this brand is so arrogant.

Nine Faction News: Brake failure is the core point of controversy, but this lawsuit is mainly aimed at the right to reputation?

Ms. Zhang: Some of Ms. Tesla Tao Lin's remarks have caused me a lot of trouble, and I first want to clarify myself and restore my reputation.

After the fermentation of things, everyone knows that people around me still support me, but some voices on the Internet are very unfriendly, and there are kinds of scolding my whole family, hurting my family, I feel very uncomfortable. My parents also advised me to forget it, but I felt that I had done nothing wrong, that it was a right thing, something very meaningful.

It was Tesla's attitude and behavior towards me that made me stand against them, while also denying my choice to become the owner of the brand at that time.

At present, the material has been formally submitted to the court, the court has accepted, and in the procedure before filing the case, there are four cases: the right to reputation, the right to privacy, the right to know legal data, and the product liability dispute. It is not easy to defend rights, and we have made plans for long-distance running.

Nine Factions News: Isn't the final ruling that considered the case not what you think it is now?

Ms. Zhang: No matter what the ruling, I think I have to see the data detection of the authoritative department. Even if the test results are not as I expected, I am willing to accept, respect the facts, and assume the responsibility that should be assumed.

"I want to prove that I didn't lie, I'm an innocent person, if the car has a hidden danger, I have to change it."

Nine Factions News: Looking back at my own behavior at that time, what do you think now?

Ms. Zhang: If it is not desperate, no one is willing to defend their rights in a way that is neither safe nor decent. In the previous two months of rights protection process, the regulatory authorities also came forward to mediate 4 times, and my reasonable and legitimate claims have not been treated correctly, and they have to be done as a last resort.

I feel that I am defending my rights in order to safeguard my legitimate rights and interests, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. If I go back to the roof, I don't have much to say to myself, but if I go back to 2019 and see myself who hasn't bought this car yet, I'll say don't buy Tesla.

The matter of getting on the roof of the car itself was an accident, and at that time, I went to the auto show to find Tesla's senior management to solve the problems encountered, and I did not plan this behavior.

Nine Faction News: For the damaged vehicles at the Tesla Auto Show, did the two sides communicate later?

Ms. Zhang: After the auto show accident on April 19, I was detained, but on the 21st of that month, the Shanghai police came to the detention center to interrogate me, and at that time they said that my rights protection behavior caused a certain degree of damage to the Tesla show car, and asked me if I would like to bear the liability for compensation.

At that time, I made it clear to the police that if a third party identified the vehicle as being damaged because of me, then I was willing to bear this compensation.

Then on April 30, I received a notice from the Shanghai police that the third-party test had come out, and I stepped on a total of three pieces of glass of this exhibition car, which was more than 4900 yuan.

I told the police that I would take responsibility for it as soon as possible and lose the money to Tesla as soon as possible. The police said they would notify Tesla and ask Tesla people to contact me, I waited for a long time and no one contacted me. Later, I also went to the Tesla store several times, and also called the staff to take the initiative to bear the liability for compensation.

But so far, there has been no positive reply to me. He said he had not received a notice from the police, but later said he had not received a notice from the Shanghai headquarters. For this compensation, I have been very proactive in the process, but also to express an attitude.

Nine Schools News: How have there been changes in thinking and life before and after rights protection?

Ms. Zhang: In the past, I saw some social news come out, and I felt that netizens were right and reasonable, but now through my own personal experience, I think independent thinking is still very important.

Before defending my rights, I felt that I lived happily and peacefully, and I also loved life very much, and I could do food, travel, fitness, drink coffee, and boxing.

After defending my rights, I felt that my life was stuck, I couldn't retreat or advance, this matter was not solved, and I lost interest in everything else. The hobbies mentioned have been shelved, so I want to seriously defend my rights and have a good result as soon as possible.

Nine Faction News: Some of the solutions tesla gives will convince some defenders, why did you still choose this difficult road of insisting on rights protection?

Ms. Zhang: I want to find the truth. If the car has hidden dangers, find it to correct it, which is a good thing for consumers and car companies. Consumers will buy safer and more practical cars in the future, and companies will review their continuous improvement.

What it means to myself is to prove that I am not lying, that I am an innocent person.

Someone wrote to me privately, saying that if you insist on it, don't let things end badly, they may be a kind of "I want to see what ending you have" melon mentality, then I think okay, let you see what the ending is. Whether or not this encouragement is well-intentioned, I will understand it as kindness.

After getting on the roof, Tesla also contacted me and said that I signed a confidentiality agreement on the condition, and at that time I thought about what to do earlier, which was meaningless.

If I had spoken out to solve the problem at the beginning of my rights defense, I would not have been so anxious, and the next thing might not have happened. But at this point, while discriminating against me and coaxing me to sign an agreement, I chose not to accept it.

I'm not an idiot either, so I'm going to make a real statement.

Nine School News: Many rights protection car owners give up in the process, will you waver?

Ms. Zhang: People in the car friend group will exchange their own vehicle information and processing results together, there are many car owners who give up, or sign an agreement, I understand them, everyone chooses differently, but also respect their choice.

I chose to persevere, more or less a sense of accomplishment. Other things that have not thought about particularly complicated things want to see the truth and have a conclusion.

In the case of conditions to continue to do this, I will always defend my rights, and if the conditions are not allowed, I may take a break and continue.

Nine Factions News: There are some suspicious voices that say that the rights protection incident was planned, how to respond?

Ms. Zhang: Again, my rights defense incident is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with any individual or brand.

At that time, the Shanghai police did a lot of meticulous and serious investigation work, and there were sub-bureau criminal police to see if I had any abnormal capital transactions, call records, and meetings.

Later, a statement was also issued informing everyone that I had been detained for 5 days. If I really have abnormal behavior, it will definitely be more than 5 days of detention, and I must believe in the ability of the police to handle the case.
